From our fearless leader,  posthumous:
"This thread belongs to Team Suck, a ragtag group of militia... um... photographers who compatriate more than compete, more interested in winging than winning, in love than lustre.
We don't let a low score get in the way of a dream!
As our seditious philosophy gained ground, our ranks grew, until we became more than just a team. We became a league of teams in wholesome if not entirely serious competition with each other. And that's the way we all became Team Suck.
This thread is for suckers to commiserate and compete. It can also be used for anyone with questions or comments about the Suck lifestyle. If you do wish to join us, we ask that you participate at DPC for a while to see if sucking really is your style, and we ask that you fulfill whatever half-brained initiation we come up with at that moment."
Rule of Thirds applies to *composition*, not subject.
Join us at our new website dedicated to the suck way of life. Visitors are always welcome; stop by for a cuppa coffee, spot of tea, keg of beer, or photoshop confusion.
Nominate OOBIE or YAPPIE!

Team Suck Policy Statement
posthumous quote:
"I don't make these very often. In fact, I might never make these, but this is a pretty fundamental policy that I'm talking about, and it's a necessary one for our survival in DPC. It has to do with voting practices. Obviously, we are not responsible for the voting practices of our members, but to go further I'd like to suggest some guidelines for how Team Suckers vote:
- We do not share photos with each other and then vote on them.
- We do not vote higher on images just because we think they were made by a member of Team Suck.
- We do not encourage each other to vote higher for certain types or styles of images. We pride ourselves on our variety of tastes and styles.
- We do not encourage any particular voting method, though we might frown at people with 3.67 voting averages and make grumbling noises.
- The only way we might influence voting is indirectly, by enriching everyone's tastes and opening their minds to what can be beautiful, and this sort of discussion is never about an identifiable picture in a current challenge."

| Dave, I left some comments on your shots. I don't know anything about lenses, so my comments didn't address the lens. I did notice that the focus is soft on all of them. I don't know if that is a function of the lens of if you did that deliberately. It gives a nice quality to the portraits. |

Comment by JuliBoc:
Mmmmm. They look delicious.
Actually, I think they're Jonathans. :-)
And David, I like the softness of the portraits - I think it serves them well. If you want to test out the sharpness of the lens, choose something with good color/good contrast, and then play with a bit using the sharpening tools in post processing. Or if your camera does both RAW and jpeg, shoot in jpeg with the camera's default settings and try a couple of lenses on the same subject, same settings. But for portraits, I think it rocks! |

Nice digs; I'm not in very much of a chatty mood, but I thought if anyone has some knick knacks to put up, we'd need a shelf.

Here's a fiber optic lamp to put on the shelf. It comes with a little bonus. ;)

All you need is love, but a little duct tape wouldn't hurt.
Bonus included, natch. |

Hey! I hit it on a website!!!!
My daughter's cheerleading coach put together a website and used some of my work on it. I didn't even know. You might recognize the shot at the top. Some of the others on the site are mine as well.
