09/19/2008 06:21:57 PM · #951

Final 4,,,cool! Just got back for vacation. I never thought about a possible tie. A playoff would be cool. Now all I have to do is make though this week. I'm in the Long Exposure challenge. Well, this is the first time checking my score and it's going to be close. I'm at 5.5833 with 5 Great comments. Good Luck to you guys.....ace

Probably means that if all remaining photogs go out at the same time...there is a tiebreaker...

Boy, am I glad I fell out when I did. Big fat 5.1 this week in Risk. Bleah.

How are you survivors doing?

09/19/2008 09:14:52 PM · #956

Doing OK in Long Exposure currently with a 0.4 buffer , shold be able to make to to next week, but there is still a lot of time for things to change.

09/19/2008 09:38:23 PM · #957

Hanging in there, 0.3191...little too close for comfort. next week used to be a lock.. now the pic has done nothing but drop the last few days...lol

09/19/2008 11:34:56 PM · #958

Keeping my fingers crossed for Numbers, and wondering what to shoot for next week in case I make it through.

09/21/2008 11:24:37 AM · #959

Hit 101 votes on Long Exposure , still hanging in there.
Now for the next challenge - Accidental Letters or Bummer (I am entering both), Accidental Letters or Bummer ??, Accidental Letters or Bummer ??, Accidental Letters or Bummer ??
I WILL GO FOR ACCIDENTAL LETTERS !!!
Good luck guys..

09/21/2008 01:06:11 PM · #960

Lol...I'm in the same boat. Hanging in there myself, not by much. Only by .06. I have shots for both Accidental letters & Bummer. Haven't decided yet which one to enter, both are just average shots. I'll post some time before roller over and make a decision.

No shot for accidental letters, but I have an idea for bummer. I'll be trying to shoot it this evening, and hopefully it will turn out exactly how I see it in my head! As for my Numbers entry. . . I should be able to make it through to the next round. . . I think.

09/21/2008 08:06:22 PM · #962

Ok, after only 30 minutes of setup and 20 tries, I'm actually in for Bummer! That was way easier than I expected, but there is one little thing about the shot that bothers me. So. . . while it may not be a glaring problem, I still have a couple of days to re-shoot. I'll know in about 4 hours if it's gonna be worth my time to do so! :)

I flipped a coin and Accidental Letters won out over the Bummer challenge. Hope itâ��s not a bummer choiceâ�¦.Lol. Not sure Iâ��ll make it to the next round, my score is bouncing a little above averageâ�¦..Good luck guys!!!!

Looks like we're not done yet!

With the results of Numbers,

Tfarrell23 and I have made it through! We'll have to wait until Thursday night to see about

andrewt and

ace flyman, though. How are they looking, guys?

09/22/2008 08:40:25 AM · #965

Should make it through on Long exposure, still have a 0.4 buffer.
So far a good start on Accidental Letters also.

Yeah , Free Study should be counted as one of the challenges for next week too. I almost forgot about the possibility of using the FS. I was thinking the whole day on what pyjamas to buy & shoot. LOL

09/25/2008 06:29:19 AM · #971

That's good, as my Free Study entry went in about two weeks ago. It's like getting a week's vacation! :)

This is all assuming, of course that I don't get booted by Bummer. The possibility exists. . . :(

Yep, FS counts. Sorry for not updating the OP sooner, but I figured by now you guys know the drill. :>P

Congrats andrewt nice finish, looks like we both make it to the next round. Biggest jump in score in a member challenge for me in a while, with the last couple hours & rollover just around 1.8 with 150 votes or so. I'll take it...Lol. Good Luck next around!
