Not doing as well as I would like, but what can you expect from a 10 minute shot and PP.

I am glad the links helped. I am setting mine up later tonight and taking a few shots. I think I have a good idea and I will post it when I am done.

I have added 2 to our Flickr group. Tell me what you think. I am going for the Recipe (Beverage) entry. Thanks.

I left a comment on one.... but like the last one....stacked up so-2-speak. have to excuse me a bit..typing one handed...had cortisone injection in my right (dominant) wrist this morning..realy hurts. I have tears in the TFCC and UCL tendon from a fall in March.. re-injured in late May. Hand specialists says pretty sure will have surgery after my next appt. in 4 weeks. In a splint until then...either had a choice to stay in splint or get cast above elbow...I said keep the splint. I'm good for the olympics no matter what. Can hold with left hand and no problem pressing shutter with the other. Wish me luck! Wonder if we can get a handicap advantage and boost all my scores by 1/2 or 1 point? LMAO

yuppers... oh thanks for the comment on the IR pic in my portfolio here. Gonna try some more this week if I can. I take the Sony F707 an IR filter everyday to work.. and usually one of my other cameras as well. I work outside alot..so I get a chance to shoot alot when I get some free time.

07/15/2008 10:41:26 AM · #161

This week has been really weird for me, so I didn't get a chance to shoot anything at all. I also didn't have internet until this morning! I'll check out what everyone else posted on Flickr and make some comments later.

07/15/2008 04:24:08 PM · #164

im in

I hope your wrist feels better, something is wrong with mine, but I KNOW they are going to have to do surgery on it, so... I don't go to the doctor! I need to work and cant afford it at the moment anyhow....

GO Team Mexico!!

07/15/2008 09:51:41 PM · #166

I'm in for the recipe... just wondering what is next! Thanks for the thoughts....wrist hurts so much I can barely sleep, and pain meds don't work very well.

My laptop goes in for repair tommorrow so hopefully the next challenge will be something easy. I have another laptop, but all of my editing tools are on this one. And this week I am shooting the International Finals Youth Rodeo, so I will be busy as hell. Do we have stats from the last challenge yet?

My recipe (beverage) submission is in. Frankly, I don't like it.... but it's all I got. Hopefully there will be five other participants. I normally would have passed on this challenge since I have no talent for indoor (staged) shots. But I guess ya gotta be a team player.

LOL.. I wish you could get that handicap... I've had wrist surgery myself.. It took as long to recover from it as it did from both of my c-sections put together.. It was unreal.. I'll pm you with the details when I get a chance.. Made an amazing difference in my life though.. Once it was healed, I never felt the pain again..

I used the sun as my light and a patio umbrella as a diffuser. You have to make due what what you have.

Oh, and if my entry scores the highest, I will drive around the US and make one of those beverages for every member of Team Mexico. (No fair changing your entries)

Sugarpie, try brightening up your entry a bit, it may bring out more of the image. But be careful to not blow out the food itself. The subject and composition is perfect.

ETA: Check Flicker for suggestion.
