Well, my first challenge is over and done with, and I'm reasonably happy. I finished 187th with an average score of 4.794, which is certainly nothing to brag about. However, even though the shot was too grainy and not as bright as I wanted, I'm still happy. It's been a great learning experience, and I'm confident I'll do better in future challenges. But the main thing I'm happy about is that my shot still turned out reasonably close to how I envisioned it. I originally shot a wine glass with a laser coming up from underneath it, but I just couldn't make it bright enough to see any detail of the glass. I ended up shooting a (much thicker) vase, and I like the way the rim turned out. My score was fair, although I don't necessarily think I deserved the 1's and 2's (of course the blue ribbon winner had a couple of those too, so no worries). Bottom line: I had a vision of the shot, and I kept at it until I got as close as I could. Just watch out for my next challenges, though--I'm gunning for blue, and I'm pretty determined! :o)

Take care,

-Don

I'm with you on this, am a new member too. Only one entry so far but as you quite rightly said the goal is to get it looking how thought it would. Onward and upward and all that...
