I turned my scores off. I try and try to tell myself that the scores don't mean anything I like the photo but when you wake up to 4's and you know that it is better then that it's time to step away from the button and just enjoy taking pictures.

So it must go against the multiple images as long as it's the same image rule. I'm pretty confused about that one, myself. Can you do a double exposure and put yourself on two sides of the picture? I wouldn't think so with those rules, but I thought I've seen double exposures on here before...

Under the current rules, this would be illegal. Earlier images may have been done under different rules, or they may have been made by using one long exposure and either using multiple flashes in a dark environment, or by covering and then uncovering the lens with a piece of black paper between "exposures."

Multiple exposures under Advanced are only legal to increase the tonal range or depth of field; each frame should essentially be the same frame/composition except for the difference in exposure or position of the focus.

At least your DQs are for a clear and objective violation; it really sucks when it's just for a difference in perception or interpretation like my last two ... :-(


I would love to have double exposures (made by masking 1/2 of the lens) be legal. I've got an idea I really want to try...

That's what happened to me. And yes, I got the week long entry ban.

I don't have any entries running right now, maybe I could ride out your ban for you?

Maybe not.

I had my trailer all loaded up to take a load to the new house tomorrow. The car they gave me as a loaner is cute but kind of small. We can't haul the trailer but we LOADED it up. It's a 2008 Kia Rondo.


Where you moving to Terry?

You didn't get kicked out of Genesee did you?

I think we should be able to request month-long bans for ourselves. :-)

Umm - does anyone remember me ? Am I still welcome here ? I know it's been a while, and it's still difficult to pick up the camera, but I do have a horribly awful shot in for lines.

Starting to have some better days, which is starting to help me feel more like 'me' I guess. Helps that Brad is back to work (I'm sure I posted about him getting laid off - back in JANUARY !) finally.

Great news about the work. Cuts down on the cabin fever a little.

You have a dreadful shot! That's my girl.

You're always both remembered and welcome.

And I'm speaking for them. :)

Hey you are always welcome and we can suck together in lines :~)

I'm so glad you're back!

Sounds like everyone is sucking in lines--some really harsh voting out there. I had a shot that I liked, but was afraid that people wouldn't think it was enough of a line, so I entered veggies instead. After watching the forums, I'm really, really glad that I didn't do lines!

It was actually at 6.42 with 88 votes, so I thought there was a chance at greatness. But it's been dropping steadily. I'm not at 6.1894 at 132 votes. Can't complain too much, because there were certainly things I didn't like about it. But the 6.42 was pretty fun... :D

You were ready to enter lines until you asked my input. You owe me some points, girlie. Just transfer them to my lines entry, thanks.

ok, the posting curse has occurred again. Dropped even farther. no more posting scores. :D

I shall MIA for the next three weeks. I travel down to Cambridge later this evening to help my daughter move from her flat to a shared house, and will spend the weekend down there. The, on Monday I fly to Corfu for a two week holiday in the sun. Wahoo! I can't wait! The only downside is that I have two photos in voting, both 6+ers, and 'Lines' even has the potential to make my front page, and I won't get to know how they have done. I think I can live with that, though:-P

Oh, and Katherine, I owe you one!
