Comments Weekly Comp #152 - Duotone
Stefen, its the same old, same old. We're used to something not going quite right, Last night it was the goaly. We should still come top of the group but the dreams have been curtailed and we're back to earth. You're right, we've not got a group of death. Argentina looked tasty, I'm going to se...

I set up my shot in the sun (rapidly melting subject matter), adjusted the aperture etc. fiddled about with the focus, pressed the shutter and nothing happened - camera as dead as a doornail :shock: Fortunately it was just a flat battery - speedily remedied :oops::oops::oops:

Oh well. I could re-do with better lighting but time is short, and I don't know how to macro focus stack. But hey I entered.

MMM.... I am stuffed.... loosen my belt.... slightly recline.... and here goes nothing. Or at least that’s how it would be if I had let temptation get the best of me this week. Picking a winner seems like being at a 5 star gourmet restaurant and trying to decide what to order with such a tantal...

Thank you lot for many nice pictures ! Please do not forget, that there are as many opinions in the world, as there are people. So I judge according to my impressions and taste, and as an amateur. Maybe I would notice different things another time and my dicision is not an amen in the church. So...

Comments for Weekly Competition #155 - Sunglasses!
It must be the holiday season, so I've changed the date of finishing to Midnight on Monday 5th July - Nathan will be back the following morning and will be able to judge later on the Tuesday. Back to normal the week after.

Just a reminder that Nathan's competition is running till midnight tonight because of his holidays. Next week will be back to a Sunday finish, so will be a short run.

I don't know whether I want more numbers of competitions, but what I do like is the time of shooting rules in the Fortnightly Competition. The Weekly Competition is just to scary for anyone who hasn't got years and years of back-catalogue to choose from - its all very well having an idea to focu...

There's no voting system - yet - but I did put the idea in and it went on the wish list a while back. In the meantime we could improvise.

I voted 'No', but to be honest it's a little odd when someone who rarely (if ever?) enters the two existing competitions then puts up a poll about adding more of them. I enter when I can, however I dont have the time I would like to go out and take shots suitable for most competitions so rely on bac...

The aesthetic of the competitions is self selecting. Those who win pick the subject and do the next judging. So there is a problem in that the "genetic makeup" of the judges is tuned to a mediocrity of sameness. If you win, your style is selected by the last judge, you then pick the next winner, ...

Looking though the gallery of the creme-de-la creme of weekly shots, where people are picking their best shots and crowbarring them into the subject, there are some really dull images. Technically fine and on topic but dull. Quite. This is why I prefer the Fortnightly, and rarely look at the Weekly...
