Wish there was a stop button for voting. At 50 votes, I am sitting at a 5.600. My highest score to date.
"Come on, Big money, no whammies...STOP!"
I did spend some money this weekend on a tripod, two clamp lights, some 75 watt bulbs and some cloth to create a mini-studio. Next purchase is for materials to make a frame. I'll be scoring 6's in no time! |

EL-ROI, not sure if you already have plans for your frame, but this might be very helpful. I have downloaded the pdf and someday hope to make use of some of the plans myself.

| Thanks for the lnk! I made plans for a 4'x3' - 90 degree frame from PVC. However, I'm flexible. |

EL-ROI....
No other single item improved my pictures more that the acquisition of my tri-pod. Hope yours is an integral a part of your shooting as mine has become.
Good luck.

A button for "Bail Out While Your Ahead"

I'm getting hammered now by the night shift...
Where's that stop button??
20 votes since the last time I checked and no comments. People are voting low and not explaining why.
I can't go on like this for a whole week!! I'll stop looking now. |

Considering it's my first challenge, I'm not surprised at my low 5 score. Only one comment though.. /c:
I realize now though that I should have submitted this picture instead of what I did submit..

No idea what your entry is smitty, but in the 5's really isn't bad. My first attempts were in the 3's (and I can see why ..... now).
When you consider that winning photos are often only high 6's it puts it into perspective a little. If the winners were averaging 9 then sure, 5 is low, but with the overall trend here 5 is a great start for you :)
Love that shot you posted just there, would have scored well I am sure. I'm now interested to see which entry was yours and compare them.

Although this is a striking shot, I feel that it's a bit one-dimensional in the sense that it has no surrounding to be a part of. The general trend here is for abstracts not to do so well. Images that work tend to be immediately obviously good. |

Heaven forbid I be trendy. (sarcasm) I guess this is where I will try to seek out those that have a 'liking' for abstract shots, and focus mainly on their opinions.
Nat: They are completly different as far as content matter. Which made the decision difficult.
