yep, here was mine with a long explanation for title as required. Did much better than I thought it would. :)

My Fill the Frame entry :D

This was my entry, now sitting at number three on my profile page:



It's a kitty cat.

Best,

According to my informal review, flowers were the submission punishment chosen by the majority of entries in this side challenge.

Judi takes the Side Challenge ribbon with her beautiful out of the box butterfly entry. Congrats Judi!

Note: as far as I could see, there were no sunsets or babies and only two cats. There were also entries from the side challenge list that did not meet the side challenge punishment criterion as well as some who chose not to participate. And not one of you brought home the Brown Ribbon.

C'est la vie!

Here's my cat entry. It seems my idea wasn't very original. This was one of five or six tigers in the challenge. Too bad the voters thought it DNMC.

Okay, everyone else, let's see your Fill the Frame entries. :)

Mine didn't score so well, but it did about as I expected. More to the point, this is my first serious macro attempt with the D200, so I learned plenty!



Here's the setup, with my 70-200, a 1.4 teleconverter, and all 3 extension tubes:

And I did my punishment...out of the box...as I intended....as I said.."I won't be going down without a fight"!!

I would just like to toot my own horn and have it duly recorded that I won the BORING MEDIOCRE side challenge with my punishment shot!



What a hoot!

I have *NO* idea what happened to me last week!

That was the highest score ever in a Free Study for me, my only 6+ score, my best B&W ever, and my first B&W 6+ score.

I liked my entry, but it never occurred to me it'd be a PB for me on so many different levels!



So I was a good boy, accepted my ho-hum directive with a truly mediocre offering and it's been hangin' at about 5.5 with four comments....go figure!

I think we are still dealing with the Free Study Speed Challenge. Hopefully levyj413will start another one for FF at the rollover later today.

Hi everyone. Sure, I'll go back and post the entries from Fill the Frame once it's over. If, uh, someone will remind me. :)

We'll skip a challenge and then do it again. If we do it on Tuesday, then we can include folks from both challenges.

Oh! I think I could fit right in. Can anyone join?


Basically there are rules...

AIM - To not be dragged down over a low score...but instead to have a bit of fun with it. You can't change the score...but you can change how it makes you feel.

1 - You need to nominate yourself within 24 hours of the start of voting. You don't have to post your score in this thread...but it is encouraged.

2 - It is encouraged to trash talk....just as you would in a normal score thread.

3 - The one with the lowest score at the end of voting wins. The organiser will contact the winner to notify them of their win and what they are to do next.

4 - The winner determines what everyone else has to use in their next shot. This WILL include options to suit all abilities/tastes/locations. And it DOES NOT include aiming to shoot for brown or to make any particular entry/s stand out to be noticeably part of this challenge.

5 - The 'punishment' is then determined, by the organiser, whether it is suitable ...after which it is then PM'ed to all members who stood up to the challenge and all members must keep the punishment to themselves to prevent the rest of the site members in being able to identify the images in the next weeks challenges.

Once you are in, that's it. You stay in.....hehehehe!!

Don't know about the rest of you, but I love my F the F shot. It was fun working with the restrictions. Can't wait to show it to you.
08/26/2007 08:07:44 AM · #21
oops I'd forgotten about this..... Better get shooting I guess.
08/26/2007 07:53:31 AM · #22
I'm in; no sense in repeating what others have said, though I generally concur with the sentiments expressed.

08/26/2007 05:31:26 AM · #23
Yeah I am in...I don't like your options...and I personally think it is foolish to shoot for the brown...but that is my opinion. I don't like the punishment you gave us...but I took the challenge...so I will begrudgingly see it through...but don't expect me to go down without a fight.
08/26/2007 05:21:12 AM · #24
I'm in too Charliebaker, I have accepted the challenge! :D

I've got my punishment shot for the Fill the Frame challenge. After the voting is complete, how about posting the punishment and all the shots here, just to finish things off.
