That sounds wonderful. This is exactly the help I need if we're going to keep up our weekly cycle of awarding Oobies and Yappies. Thank you. You da man. And you take good pictures, too.

Instead of updating one message with the current results, I was going to post each challenge in its own post on the Results thread. That way we can easily look back on Team Suck photo-history.

Let me know if there's anything else that could be collected/displayed in the challenge results.

An odd question.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to take a decent photo of an old photo ?

I have a bunch of pics from public and high school I want to get onto my computer, but I don't have a scanner. Don't worry - they are all photos I took, so no copyright issues.

a basic set up might be two very birght lamps, on opposite sides of the pic, pointing at 45deg. to the image. ensure your camera is on a tripd, and perfectly in line with centre of the image. use the lowest iso you have. if you have mirror lock up, use it.

that's what we used to do with a copy table in university. good luck!

On a SLR camera there is some shake induced by the mirror slaming up out of the way to provide a clear path to the film plane, mirror lock up is were the camera moves the mirror out of the way of the CCD before it actually takes the pic, there by eliminating the shake or movement caused by the movement of the mirror.

Yes, but I'm referring to something that happened 40 years ago from that date. :)

I think it must be Jeff's 40th birthday... if that is indeed the case, Happy Birthday! Gotta say that other than physical infirmities (most self-inflicted), the 40s are the best years so far!

The new SP (thanks, guys) was to document my longish hair - it's not been that long for awhile, and is probably going to get all cut off and short again because it's a pain to put it up for work.

And I too lost a fav yesterday which makes me quite sad. :-(

Bingo. :) I'm very excited about the weekend. I'm taking the day off tomorrow to play with my best friend, who arrived this evening from Seattle:

Then another friend arrives tonight, the three of us do the MS Walk on Saturday, and my wife and I take 15 of us on a dinner cruise on the Potomac River.

Yippee! :)

Mary also deleted her portfolio, which really makes me sad, because I had some favorites there. I thought even if a person deleted the portfolio, the thumbs would stay, but I guess not because I can't find the one I was looking for.

I discovered that if you go to the profile page, and over on the left, where Mary seems to have deleted the favorites she chose, if you click on "selected by other users", you will find your favorites.

Edit to ask, "or are they not all there?"

Sooo so so! I want to share something!

I've been feeling pretty discouraged lately about my photography... but recently I have been feeling just awesome about it!! It is a combination of several things I think that have lead to the upswing in the cycle - and one of them is some really awesome feedback I have gotten from people recently.

So thanks everybody.. thanks for listening to me when I am down! And for helping me celebrate being.. um, up!!

*celebrate*

Come on everybody... happy dance with me! Life is awesome :-D
