Well hurry up then and shoot something.

I like how all the posting last night where Street Spirit was making idiot comments as per usual got deleted. Way to go SS, must be nice to be able to go in and cover up your tracks.

Reminds of a stunt a certain someone else pulled on here once...

Street Spirit

Yep, I cleaned up the thread before I went to bed at 5am, and PM'd Mizouse to let him know that I had deleted a lot of the banter and unrelated posts between you and I, so people could find the thread back on-subject....the photo contest and bokeh.

No worries though. You certainly do a much better job of making an ass of yourself than I ever could of you.

Anyway, if you want to say anything in response, please do it via PM from now on, as will I, if I choose. This thread has gone all over the place as it is.

wndrlst

Thanks. A certain flirty AZ member sent it to me. I like it.

wndrlst

I'm feeling uninspired. But I'll work on it this weekend if I have time...already pretty damn booked up.

Sarlacc

I much prefer make an ass of myself. At least half the time some gets a good laugh.

Acting like a self righteous bitch all the time, well, yeah I'd rather be an ass.

mizouse FTW

Dan Martin

That's a little uncalled for... there's nothing wrong with Mizouse's entry. Nobody laughed at your entries...

Sarlacc

We aren't making fun of mizouse. We aren't even laughing at him.

And I actually like his entry a lot.

Dan Martin

So who is "we" and who are you making fun of? SS?

Sarlacc

We is me and my twisted sense of humor. And I'm laughing at some deleted posts that found their way home.

I know she is your wife in real life Dan, but whoever she is on here is annoying and stuck up, snotty style.

fwiw, i'm a fan of 'zouses.

I was focusing on the frosting..errrr...skateboard in the front of the cake!

Street Spirit

I don't know how many times I have to say it pubicly, or even to some people privately, but 99.5% of you guys are nothing but a form of entertainment to me. How? Well, say something that might go against the grain. Sometimes it's how I truly feel; sometimes, and usually not. There are some threads I truly am interested in and feel strongly about, but not every post I write is one I really care about...sometimes it's just to create thought or discussion. Does it annoy you? I guess so. Do I care? Not really.

You're even an extra-easy form of entertainment because you whine about the slightest thing, as if anyone on an online forum has any control over you or your actions, or even care. I find it rather amusing, yet quite sad. You're just too easy, and get so worked up. Hopefully you aren't like that in real life either or you'll die young from the negative stress. You point things out as if it'll make me feel bad or embarrassed.

I couldn't sleep a few nights ago, and your hilarious posts gave me something to do until I went to bed in the early morning. As mentioned, I deleted the banter because I didn't find it at all relevant to the contest itself (the main purpose of this thread). I had no problem with them being displayed otherwise.

Sarlacc

Did you come to these decisions in life before or after your gential removal?

Wisc Badger

lets all play nice kids.

TSX Nightwalker

EDIT: I want to change my entry. I figured this was more IN-TER-ES-TING and had a better story behind it!

Besides, I ran across it when I opened my albums and was looking for shots to share..hehe

yohan81718

is the re-entry allowed? If I delete my previous picture from my hosting site and put another one up, is that okay?

Wisc Badger

it has been in the past... as long as its before the contest closes

I thought I'd take a stab at it this time and enter a pic so here's my entry.

"Rough Morning"

Mizouse

I tried, guess I failed.

Mizouse

is that what you see after a long night of drinking?

Sly Raskal

You mean things aren't supposed to look like that normally?

TSX Nightwalker

I was told you can.

wndrlst

In the past, people have been allowed to reprocess the same entry, and re-submit, but I'm not sure a consensus has been reached about submitting an altogether new entry. I think there was someone who tried to in the HDR contest, and minor dissent ensued. If I recall correctly, the reason given was concern about trying to one-up subsequent entries.

Given that particular argument, I don't see why you couldn't change your entry in this instance, as there were no other entries between the 2 you submitted. However, if it's been disallowed in the past (has it?), I think we should be consistent.

I do think we should discuss it, come to an agreement, and post it as a rule one way or another in future contests.

Damn The Queen!!!



i didnt see this contest till rite now!... i havent been on here in about a month but this is a pic i found on my comp that i took a while back. no time to try to take a better one... its raining too much

evilone

heres my entry.
GREEN WITH ENVY

Sarlacc

^ Great balance of color

evilone

thank you. Im still a newb at this stuff. Seeing the quality of work here has really inspired me to excel. Would that phot I submitted count as a "real" Bokeh shot?

Mizouse

i say it would be

Sarlacc

Yes it would be if you go by all the "rules" of what bokeh is.

evilone

coll Im very happy about that. You guys have taught me so much in here. Really seeing most everyones pictures, helped to give me the boost I needed to learn this art form. One of my ex's was a model, and I went with her to a 2 day photo shoot. I was making little suggestions here and there. The photographer said I should get into Photography because I really have an "eye" for it. It humbled me to say the least. And you all inspired me to take it up. SO THANK YOU ALL! Im very happy I did, and find myself learning a lot from you all!

Sarlacc

You're lucky because most photographers would have probably told you to shut up, or you had taken off set. Or just shot down anything you said.

wackjum

Unlike film sets, there's no sound being recorded at a photo shoot.

The majority of photographers I have hung out with are very nice, open, and talkative about their craft.

Sarlacc

Not saying there aren't people who aren't. I've just seen some photographers who arent very open to other people just walking up and making suggestions. Has nothing to do with sound being recorded.

I'm just saying he was lucky to find a cool one. I've been around both.

evilone

No he asked me if I had any input or things I might change. So he could get a new perspective, like maybe I see thomg that he doesn't kind of thing. He then let me look through all 3000 or so shots he had taken, take my favorite one. The he post processed it and printed out for me. I know have it framed haning on my wall. I took it as a complement because he now used that shot in his portfolio. You might have heard of him.( If not not big deal). His name is Kendal Carr. He has had shot in Maxim, HFM and a fe other big magazines.

Sarlacc

Thats cool. Its always nice to deal with cool pros. They are smart because they understand its all about collaboration and fresh ideas. The old curmudgeons are the ones who think everyone is trying to step over them and get ahead.
