Puhonix Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 You're lucky I like you, Go FSU!!!! 716466[/snapback] The power of Mandy Moore must be on my side.
KD in CA Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Do I need to start a new poll with the latest entry? 716378[/snapback] Not by me. I like the first blue one best of the 3.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Does she know that you're bargaining with her? 716459[/snapback] Of course not. Do you think I'm that grotesquely stupid?
IBTG81 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Of course not. Do you think I'm that grotesquely stupid? 716562[/snapback] Not stupid, but grotesque.
Dibs Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Looks like I'm in the minority but....sepia. To me, the sepia gives it an old quality which blends better with the obviously old boat. It has an 'atmosphere' to it. A historic feel. The blue IMO comes across a little washed...no atmos. It has the feel of just another boat on the water. Mind you, I agree with the previous poster saying the white in the sky on the sepia is a little bright. I don't know what I like, but I know a lot about art.
Puhonix Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 Just curious, why the colored effects? 716482[/snapback] Theme of the contest is monochrome. So I'm taking originally colored photos, and turning them monochrome.
Guffalo Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Ask and you shall receive: God's Blessing Briana - Blue II 716376[/snapback] Thats the one Great shots!
Puhonix Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 Hey fish fan...what camera are you using? 716732[/snapback] Canon Digital Rebel XT. I love that thing.
IDBillzFan Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Canon Digital Rebel XT. I love that thing. 716739[/snapback] I bought the 20D back in November and in hindsight the Rebel would have been more appropriate because I'm not that good of a photographer to have something that extensive. On the other hand, I have managed to take some pretty remarkable photos, so there's no regret on my side. It's unfortunate the zoom lenses are so expensive. I added the 28-135mm to the bag and I never use the original lens (18-55mm) that came with the camera.

But I love the Macro shots too, so I've been looking on Ebay for just the right Macro lens.

For the right price, I might try it. Also, if you're googling around and find a good price at ExpressCameras.com, do NOT, under any circumstances, order from them. They are a racket of embarrassing proportions.
Puhonix Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 So after all that, I decided against going with the popular winner. I think the sepia just captures a better mood, and is a shot that has more of a grandiose feel to it. So here it is, my contest entry: God's Blessing Briana III On another note, someone pointed out to me that if you look at the blue picture, you can see a face in the clouds. Anyone else see it?
RayFinkle Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Personally, I like that shot better in sepia...EXCEPT that the gradient from the bright sky to the boat is a little too excessive and jarring. Keep it in sepia, but darken the brightest part of the sky somehow, and it's got my vote. CAVEAT: I don't know sh-- about art or photography. 716380[/snapback] and throw in a hot chick in a bikini!

Buffal0 Bill5 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Yep. Looks like Teddy Roosevelt. 716971[/snapback] I don't know, I think you may have a "Jesus in the clouds" picture here. Go get your money. Is that supposed to be a play on See Our Villa?
