Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with (ineffective) Tin Foil Hats (4)

Almost. I figure that guy's been doing it for a lot longer than I have and with higher grade Hassy gear. I do the best with what I got. It ain't much, and the shots aren't all that swell, but I have fun with it.

Hassy? That piddly stuff? He is shooting Large format, that stuff is AMAZING. mmm 8x10" of pure sexy photo absorbent silver crystals mmmmmmmmmmm

I know what you mean, I am not 100% sound on my choice. I am not to sure if I would submit it.

I would like a bird photo but don't have anything

you know, one of the reasons I went ahead and just submitted? Because the longer I looked at the 5 I was going to submit, the less I liked them...I found flaws with every photo I looked at today and it started to get me down. SO I just submitted the ones that I'd picked and decided to let it go at that....

perhaps we're our own worst critic...I don't know.

Riley - don't forget about Bailey -- we don't want you running off with some sheets of 8x10

That was film... 8x10 film to be exact

okay but I STILL WANT A NEW HASSY...(really, I was just going off on owning a hassy). though I'm surprised that's film because it's obvious he did some tonemapping on those shots...

Can you imagine what just one shot would cost? Forget it. Gimme a 4 gig card....

I dunno, I think it is more grads and color filters... I guess it could be tonemapping, but part of me hopes that it isn't I dunno way, I just want to believe that is capable with film.

I think it is close to a $1.50 last time I checked.

Yeah - something tells me that when you shoot with gear like that you don't go "down" to the level of tone mapping...

I think your right. the longer I look at a photo the worse it gets... that's why I have closed PS down for the day and give it a break.

Oh. Well, that's different.

Still, being lazy, I think I'll stick with my 30D.

see, I disagree...tone mapping (used skillfully...which is something that really does take practice) is the digital equivalent of those shots, without the cost and without the hassle of film. So I don't see it as going down a level. I see it as the present age technology. Of course, most of the time it's badly done (including by myself but I'm working on it)!

Okay......so I just threw a couple of photos into the POTN Book pile. I didn't give them much thought and won't worry if they don't get selected.

I just thought it would be fun to paticipate a bit.
