Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro EX DG OS for Canon EF

I did but I got paranoid - i'll tell you why another time -ANyway, I can't decide whether to make cofeee or try to get 15min more sleep. I got my wife a cappuccino maker for her birthday - that sounds good right now.
It's good to see someone else awake!

hmmm .
how am i gonna edit YOUR comment ;? --
i guess I'm afraid of being voted down by the competition - paranoia - as if there's something evil in all men -
trust no one ... I watched a lot of x-files.

Hmm - apparently my brown is crap. =) It's upsetting because I could have done that so much better. Ah, but for time.

Great work Tate! We should only post your score for the competition to oogle! ;-)

Still OK and I got a fav. too - but I liked the score better before...

Good morning, gang! Yep, at 6:15 am PST, here I am sitting at
x.48 in Brown. With that news out of the way, congratulations
to my buddies on those high-altitude scores. Keep 'em up there.

And, Tate, hope you and your wife had a fine time on her B'day.
Glad you found time to send in an entry! WOW.

Dear Team Members â�¦ we are doing really well - Stepping up and getting involved and putting in extra effort have added to our success.

I still haven't heard back from Caleb. He hasn't entered any recent challenges and I'm concerned whether he is OK.

Having said that, I would like to get some feedback on whether my team mates think we should make an effort to replace him if I don't hear from him in the next day or two. I don't want to be mean but the team has 2 purposes - to have fun and to compete ... so if he's not having fun and not competing I'm sure he'd agree that a replacement is appropriate.

Any thoughts?

Team play is all about Team participation.

If Caleb can't participate, then I think it would be in order
to complete the Team roster with someone who can.

My only hope is that if Caleb finds he cannot continue Team play, it's because he's into something fabulously interesting. He is a fine and sensitive photographer.

Yes, let's hope to hear from him in the next couple days.

Thanks for your comment on my "Bike Shop" photo, Alice. I was really happy to get 22nd place (hope for a couple DQ's and I'm in the top 20! =), even if it was a low-scoring, not-very-crowded competition.

Occupation, Yes! My entry is in.

Oh, I really want to do well on this one. I had two choices that really stood out, I selected one. Was it the right one? We'll find out.

Oh, yes. Has anyone heard from the Outcast team? They don't seem to have a thread going. Hmmm, plottings off screen?

My "Brown" is back above the 6 mark: 6.0217
(And I've got some really nice comments as well)...

However, I'm not too comfortable about the challenges this week:

"Occupation" - I have no idea what to do about this. I'm an IT Project manager and spend my day at a desk in front of a computer screen - not very exiting...

"AA Batteries" - I simply can't think of anything for this

"Pattern" - This is where I'll hang my hat I think - but I also believe this will be the crowded one...

Anyway, good luck to all of you on these - and on your entries this week as well of course (we need to beat "Outcasts" before going for the challenges above - but I'm sure we'll accomplish that)

12/21/2006 10:03:36 AM · #519

That's great that your Brown image is doing well.
Regarding the Occupation photo, you might want to think about something interesting that is related to or an extension of a job / your job etc.

Remember, it doesn't HAVE to actually be your job or anything even remotely close. I was actually considering things like garbage man, plumber, etc. :]

Well I have to say that this is by far the best week I've had at DPC as far as score:
Why not brag?

Sky / Avg Vote: 7.X962
Sticky / Avg Vote: 6.16X
Pink Floyd / Avg Vote: 7.X ;]

ok - so I'm a lil' weird with the X's.

Oh, this is getting exciting. Tate, brag and brag some more!
Those are wonderful high altitude scores. Altitude and attitude go together sometimes. This is one of those times.

Nice of timfythetoo to come over and visit. Hope he and his team are still around when we get to that spot in the playoffs.
:-)

I'm still hanging in there with my high 5 score in Sticky and my X.22 in brown.
