Love the pic of your Beavers, Lea. I trust it is something akin to Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts in the USA only for both genders?

Yes - Scouts Canada has been co-ed for many years though. We still have Girl Guides that is strictly for girls too, but none that is strictly for boys anymore.

Sexist ? Maybe. But as a mom - it works for me (okay, and it was nice as a Scout myself many moons ago too).

Subtext - daughter #2 is very, very happy, and barring a calamitous disaster will be going to university next October to study for a degree in Japanese. Happy daughter = happy mother!

Congrats to new member hajeka and colorcarnival on their top scoring entries!


It was a very nice wakeup this morning (rollover is at 6Am here, so most of the time I'm not awake), followed by the stress to submit the original (which one was it?) and describing the process steps (what did I do? Well, actually not much, a tiny bit of cropping and some level adjustment). After a nice day to enjoy this wonderful score I'm back in real life now (looking at my Triptich score).

So, uh.....you didn't Facebook the sh*t outta this why?

Voted and signed on for the voting updates.

Good on the boy, too!

Me too! Good luck to him.
 10/24/2009 10:14:06 AM · #815
He's already facebooked the b'jaisus out of it himself, but you're right, why wouldn't I add to the viral effect?

Great lad, thanks to y'all for the support.

Now for the rest of DPC...

I found a box to tick that says it will update you with a voting tally once a week.

I ticked it......8>)

I wish him luck.

But I'm not feeling like putting much into that wish - they dug out and filled in the only outdoor pool in the south (poor) end of our city this summer - the one that is only about 1.5 blocks away from our place. They're shutting down the arena in the south (poor) end of the town because they built a new one in the north (rich) end of the city that is a good hour or so away by bus and not walkable at all.

We've still got a few playgrounds - but they were overlooked this summer when the city put over a million dollars into renovating three playgrounds in the north (rich) end of the city - playgrounds that were no where near as old as the three closest to us.

Hmm - I think I'm feeling cynical today.
 10/24/2009 11:48:31 AM · #819
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
S'all right, Lea. I think cynical is the opposite of naïve, so it's not all bad. The question of what you do about it sort of hangs there. Maybe the trouble with sponsorship is that sponsors want to get their logo out there where the money is...
I could tell Simon to give your kids free lessons if you were in that oart of the world :)

So, you do get a confirmation that it has been validated! Just can't remember my previous ones (except my DQ). Now it's time for me to get nervous.

naw, don't get nervous. Sometimes it just takes quite awhile. Doesn't sound like you did that much to it to get nervous about. I had one that took about 2.5 weeks.
 10/24/2009 10:27:00 PM · #823
Just got mine this morning, too. So I guess I get to keep the ribbon.....8>)

On a different note.....for those of you who might have seen/heard me venting my frustration about not being able to intentionally do portrait shots....I "borrowed" a co-worker's daughter and her friend. I think I might actually be starting to get the hang of it. I didn't have to spend a lot of time or technique on this one, though to be honest, I really think the subject has something to do with that.



I know it's certainly not perfect, but it was intentional, and I'm pretty happy with it.

Oh.....the one above is the friend.....this'un's the actual borrowed daughter.....



Thoughts?

Jeb, to show you what a little warming filter would do to help your images I copied them, then opened in CS3. What is dull and lifeless in sRGB is perfect in Adobe RGB, are you forgetting to re-assign profile

Nope.

For whatever reason, portraits I upload here always look like sh*t compared to how they look here or when I print them.

I even up the saturation before I upload after I edit for other use.
