"ghost pirates spotted at dusk"
April 2007
Canon Powershot S1 IS

[Cotterik]

are you sure thats not a toy boat at the bottom of your bath?

[aiasib]

hehe, no, it was spotted with binoculars at sunset a few kilometers off the coast of the Gulf when i was there a few months ago, and the only way i could snap it was with digital zoom...

am I the only contestant who's crazy enough to go up against Illusionest with a pixelated digital zoom photo...?

[70cuda88]

so, this was on the Gulf of mexico? hmmm, never heard of pirates in mehico!!

that is cool that it looks like its either floating, or underwater... very cool

[aiasib]

it was the arabian gulf.

by the looks of the picture my guess is they found a hermetic bedouin in the desert who revealed unto them the location of a map hidden somewhere in the sand whereupon they dispatched a team of expeditionary drunkards who miraculously retrieved it returning in time for the ebbing tide upon which they rode out and caught a good tail wind (on their invisible ghost sails) which by the aid and blessings of calypso and poseidon will carry them off to the south china sea where they no doubt began decrypting the map and will reveal the exact location of the eighty-one tons of gold bullion and gems that the map now magically reveals.

dundun, duh duh dundun, duh duh duh duh duh duhhhh-

That's a really cool shot...loads better than your last "DJ" shot with that melancholy tit.

And for future reference. "Setted" does not exist, it's simply "set".

Thanks. It is mainly because I took my time for this one. The other was basically a JPEG snapshot... This involved some work...

Thx for the free english lessons

It looks like Erick E has had some serious work done to himself as well ...

It's a shot of a friend He happens to be called Erik E.... Kind of funny, as we all call him like that and girls sometimes believe he is the real one ! Quite a good laugh for us always !

edit:

I have spoken with the real one for a while. I met him in a club in Rotterdam where I was working. The shots however were sold and I may not publish them anywhere else, like here.

You need to get a better camera. That's a fairly poor live shot, and being able to use a higher ISO than 64 will help a shit load. I use 800 or 1600.

DJ shots with flash, all handheld ~1/6 to 1/50th *not entries*





(Note how he is not looking at me when I took them)

a bit of constructive criticism there 2CC telling him his work is crap and trying to boast for your own. im sure you got alot of that when you were learning.
