I'm learning something! Yay!and before anyone asks - no, I'm NOT being sarcastic. I really am happy. :)


I think we can all learn a thing or two from Jen :)

a msg i sent to one, but should be sent to more:

The Task:

Creatively photograph a reflecting surface that is not a mirror while keeping your camera out of the shot.

People photographing shadows may be photographing a loose term of the word Reflection (it is stated shadows are reflections).

However - the challenge is to photograph a reflective surface - a shadow is anything but a `surface`.

Duh! :)

I guess sometimes techniques can be a little too advanced... ;) The last three commments more or less say they don't see how it was done so somehow it doesn't meet the challenge...

What the ___???
Just because you don't get how the reflection was done shouldn't take away from the shot's score. Objectively going through the shots I fail to get 4.9244. The shot is simple with no distraction. The image and its reflection (no mirror!!) and in focus. arg

One of my better images but it's taken quite the nosedive. It's going to be a long week (especially I only entered one challenge). Folks, the challenge says reflection so IMHO it should be part of the composition. Like others have said before me, please look at the images carefully :)

I guess some folks are realizing that my image "does" have a reflection :)

I recovered a bit, I had been as low as the 5.8's. Now it will be a struggle to get over 6 again.

i was at 5.85 on my Personification scores just before turnover and managed to "eeke" out a 6+

I'd say if you're somewhere within 5.9 that should be easy :)

Tuesday is a long way away so I hope I manage to get up there :)

Apparently, according to the ER doc, I had a small heart attack the day I shot this - about 30 minutes after my entry was taken. So, I hope that the score stays in at least the same range it now is in to make it seem worth it. Now I'll be waiting for my medical to kick in on November first so I can follow up on what ails the old ticker.

If I can stay in the 5 range - that makes me a very happy camper!

Shutterpug: I hope you'll be okay!

Take care of yourself! Even a blue ribbon isn't worth a heart attack!

Seriously, do take it easy and Here's hoping all is well when you have your medical. Can't you get one earlier than November?

Back to scores - only one comment after 120 votes! These big entries do make it hard for people to comment as well as vote. Sitting on 5.2 - and yes I think it deserves better!!
Hugs
Pauline

Pauline - The ER doc really wanted to admit me to the hospital last night, but my medical on this new job won't be in effect until November 1st. I can no way afford the huge bill I would ring up if I let him admit me. So, I prmised I would take an aspirin a day and see a doc as soon as I had coverage. The 4th was the earliest the doc I called could get me in anyhow. For the next 2 weeks I just have to take it easy and not do anything that would cause exertion.

Back to the scores.....I am pleased to be ion the 6 rnge, but had really hoped to hit a 7 on this one. I'm not complaining though....it is doing better than I usually do.

Oh my God that makes me so grateful for our health system!
PLEASE take care!

You better hope you don't win a ribbon - could cause a little heart flutter!

I got DQ'd...lol. I'm not sure why the date was messed up on my photo. I KNOW the date on my camera was right, and I KNOW that I took it after the challenge was announced, it was actually a couple of days after...

Oh well, I would be sad if it was doing good...but it was only in the low 5's, so I'm not upset. My wide-angle broke into the 6's though...best score ever, so I'm happy.
10/20/2005 03:34:22 PM · #69
too bad caleb... just goes to show that we should all be checking our dates :)
10/20/2005 05:12:08 PM · #70
Caleb - had you left your battery out for an extended time? Might be that if you did, and the internal battery needs replacing, that your date reset
10/20/2005 06:40:07 PM · #71
Right after I got the notice I checked my camera and the date was still set perfect...

So, I'm not really sure what happened, but I hope it doesn't happen again.
