I've entered B&W but don't think it will score well at all. Had a tough week with the camera.....

Mine's not doing that well...I didn't really have huge hopes for it because it's a studio-type setup shot (and I do badly at them) but I think I have to get better at them to be successful on here (i.e. artificial eye candy shots) so I'm going to go through the pain barrier...(or at least bounce off it a few times before I get pissed off and stop!!).
This ought to end up a 5.5-5.8 I hope. I've had other better shots recently do late 5s so I'm having a hard time finding a 6 these days :(

Not bad at all Nick!
It's way too early to know where things will end up, I'm hanging on till 100 votes but hoping I'll manage to hit my overall average or above, fingers crossed :o)

Well I woke up this morning to a score of 6.22 with 15 votes and thought, ok, maybe it's not as bad as I thought.
Now it's 5.67........
Normally my scoring goes the other way, starts lower then builds. Only 40 votes so it could all change, hopefully it will follow my normal trend and creep up a little.

took me a while to find this thread i suppose, but better late than never eh? ;P
*ahem* hi from Stratford Upon Avon!

As for helping hand with post/concepts: I suppose someone could set up a forum on one of the free sites - or we could exchange emails and use that as a forum with the whole "reply all" function.
Just a suggestion - should we all use our teamshirts as our avatars over the next few weeks? ;) |

| oh - and i may be british but i dont drink tea, warm beer or even like cucumbers! ;) |
|

02/28/2008 05:09:13 AM · #65 |
Haha!!!
I only drink tea if someone offers and im cold, not a fan of beer unless the beer is really cold, but I do love cucumbers, never had just them in a sandwich though! :P
How about fish and chips?? I love them, but dont have them whilst at uni (Due to costs and the fact the only fish shop in this town is rubbish!)
My score has dropped now :(
5.7985

| Fish and chips from a proper chippy is amazing for hangovers. Used to go to one in Anstruther which was apparently the best in the country (According to the awards it got) when we had a little extra cash and a willing driver to get us from St Andrews to Anstruther. Only graduated last year and am missing the life... :) |

Once the score gets to 100 you're pretty much set....so Talj, you're in for a really decent score :)
I'm seriously considering only entering the Olympics challenges (and maybe the FS for the FSM) and holding off on the other challenges until my PhD thesis is complete....I'm spending too much time behind the lens and not enough time in front of the keyboard!!!

What's your thesis on Nick?
Can't you find a way to crowbar DPC into it? ;-) |

Working title is "Personalisation of the User Interface using Profiled User Interface Skins" - in a nutshell the effect of aesthetic design factors (colour, shape, meaning) on interactive behaviours so that more personally relevant user interface skins can be designed....because the current "one size fits all" user interface does not consider individual differences like Personality. Typically user interfaces are designed for the average user - yet individually no-one is average, yet we're forced to use an interface/interaction designed for the everyman. We have the ability to change the user interface (skins, themes) but no understanding as to how this can be best achieved. This is where I step in :)
Can it be tied to DPC? Yes, but not in my thesis :( One of the main aspects of my research is the subject affect and interpretation of Art (extracting meaning) and I had to conduct a number of jury studies to create a set of skins to use in the experiment (e.g. one representing an extrovert personality...the Similarity Attraction Theory suggests that people like people with the same personality as themselves....so I applied this to embedded personality in a picture...but getting consensual agreement on meaning is hard...hence the jury to validate).
If I had known about DPC a few years ago I'd have written to Langdon to ask if one of my components could be worked into DPC (I may yet still for a journal or two!!). If I could get DPC users to complete a Personality inventory (to describe their Personality profile) then I could run analyses using DPC data (far more and better than mine!). For example, my research suggests that there is also another phenomenon at work....Dissimilarity Attraction (or aspirational), in that people with a low score on some dimensions actually prefer images in the opposite direction...e.g. highly neurotic individuals prefer low neurotic images (calming) and introvert individuals prefer extrovert images....
Anyhow...that should give you the gist of what I'm doing.. I've got a research website (out of date) at www.proskin.org

Hiya talj.
I'm not pretty happy. My Led Zeppelin shot is in. I had such high hopes - the pic in my head would get 7, the picture I eventually shot I can confidently predict won't :-(
I've got a tilted shot done as well. Will edit that later.
Glad to see your shot is still storming :-) |
