Ah, don't worry. My long exposure is in the pits also, but wait till the open challenge. That score will be better.

I know what's going on. It's called, "TRYING TOO HARD!"

OK my Reflections shot is in.. went with DIFFERENT and also MY STYLE so it means it will be around 5.5 if im lucky.

i have two reflection shots that I can use and I also grabbed up a nice shot of a neon sign lastnight. However I am going to go out one more time today and see if I can come up with something better, not 100% happy with what I already have.

my long exposure shot finally broke into the 4's woo hoo. at this pace I might even make the 5's before voting finishes.

So far my long exposure is at 5.249, 1 stinkin comment. I've got my reflection shot just having a bit of trouble trying to get it the way I want it. It too is a little bit different but I'm hoping that it will do well.

received a series of 8x10 yesterday and getting some 12x18 done today
of my reflection shot(s)

i wish i could request some advice on which to enter but i went with gut feel

must be killer shots if your getting them in poster size. I am still not sure which challenge I will enter with 12 hours remaining. However I can promise I will enter something higher than a 5.0

well i think they are good :)
bit misleading as the images are really ~8x10 in the frame of a 12x18
lately i've been getting my prints done at costco & if i don't fill the boarder they have occasionally expanded the image or cropped in weird ways - so i always get the next size up & fill the borders with a light to dark background graduation color...
maybe after the challenge 'ill stick one up for demo ...

Ok my reflection entry is in, now comes the crossing of fingers.

11/07/2006 11:59:20 PM · #259

I am in the reflection challenge too. I got some more neon shots tonight but also got my best reflection shot out of all that i have taken so i decided to roll the dice and enter with the masses.

well im glad some are doing better than I .. my long exposure is keeping me going for the team now at 5.9 but my reflection is bombing 4.9 this is what TEAM PLAY is all about. Im sure we done enough to beat the llamas.

11/08/2006 11:26:12 AM · #266

My long exposure has stabilized at around 5.6.

With my reflections it's too early to tell, but it is at around 6.5 for now. I'm hoping it will go up, but it might just take a dive.

I'm suffering from 'Tries too hard!'

Trying too hard is a real killer.

Next week's challenges are essentially 3 open studies. Who are we up against next week?
