Hey all, sorry again for the hiatus. Here's our #208 voting, and good luck to everyone. You may notice that some pictures weren't included, and this is due to sizing violations. I'd just like to remind everyone to review the rules in case there is any confusion; always feel free to PM me if you need clarification. Thanks!

Thanks, we appreciate the fact that you take the time to put this together. I've done it before and it can be time-consuming.

Thanks for the thanks! I almost forget that it's been a week, everything is flying by at a blistering pace. My job has been very demanding as of late, but I am definitely going to continue to put in the effort required to run the competitions. Also, drinking time; a few beers after a long day and next thing you know I'm asleep at 8PM.

I voted for kvisser, but I would've liked it even more if there wasn't such a hot spot from the light. Overall softer lighting on the fender would've made the whole shot quite a bit better, IMO. Still a great shot, though.

was my shot deliberately excluded?

Sorry, a size violation is a size violation...

so 535x803 and not 800 is enough to dismiss it.....great stuff, well done.

Re-enter it this week at a 3 pixel decrease.

This isn't the first time its happened to someone.

I agree with that. The problem was that my lcd was broken so I had no idea of what I was shooting. I would have changed a number of issues in the shot. I guess that is what shooting film is like. Ahh.. the good old days!

Thanks for the votes.

Wow, such a new camera and the LCD is broken already? How'd that happen?

I found a great way to break everything you shoot with...

It goes like this, I was taking my daughter out for her 9th birthday. I had a new toy to play with, an egg 360 attached to my 2.8 20mm on my d90. So we get to the Port Discovery in Baltimore. I get out of the van and am prepping the kids to departure. I then open my front door...... and prep my bag to add some snacks for the childrens. I then pick up the bag.....without closing the photo section and everything I own hits the concrete from about 4 feet in the air.

I am such a dumb sh!t. To my own accord, I do feel proud in that the first and only thing I yelled was CRAP! I then internalized and went about picking up the pieces....literarily. The 20 and the egg 360 were attached to the d90, the 20 is toast. My 18-200 hit hard and shattered the UV filter. I haven't had the desire to test it yet. My new 2.8 105 seems to have come out with only a scratch. My 10.5 I think also survived. My rather new d90 fires up but the lcd on the back is toast, 2 cracks and nasty blackness mixed with intermittent flashes on the bottom. The SB800 tossed its batteries and may also be functional. I will have to revert to my trusty Fuji S3 Pro for a while.

One lesson I take from this is that I have to never do that again. But also, I need to have individual protective bags for each lens as well as a better bag that fastens down the camera itself. I'm looking for suggestions on that front as well.

Once I get my kids to bed, I shall seek solace in a bottle and maybe a friend...


SH!T!

Wow, that's a really unlucky day. Stuff like that happens though. Really bad luck.

I have had the automotive version of that. August Friday the 13th, my dad's Civic Si hatch was stolen, 2007 or 2006, I forgot, right in front of our own house. It was supposed to be the car I would learn manual in.

I never believed in Friday the 13th until then.

yes, and I did my utmost to bend them
