The TeakDoor Photo Competition with great prizes

[NickA]

(I think all entrants should specify their cameras and lenses)

If you save the photo and then load it into a suitable program it will give you the info.

^What a shame 268kb

[benbaaa]

yes, I noticed the neat slits and the oozing sap Benbaa, a nice, very sharp pic, what was the equipment (I think all entrants should specify their cameras and lenses)

I've just got my camera out to post what it is, and I see that smartie-pants Knicka has already posted the information. I'll say it anyway. Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom.

If I reduce it to 200KB, dirtydog's still going to disqualify it because I've posted it elsewhere on TD. (https://teakdoor.com/northern-thailand-forum/23635-around-chiang-mai-christmas-2007-a.html)

But what the fuck. Again. Here it comes again, slightly smaller.

Correct.

First 2 pictures over 200kb and already have been posted, so you used up 3 entries and have at most 1 that can be entered, thats you out of the way

Should also point out that Benner's original submission was also in contravention of Rule 37a sub-paragraph (iv)

1 picture per post..

I still think it's the best pic so far!

[dirtydog]

I aint entering. i have seen the ones bustak is mulling over.

Don't forget there are 3 prizes, he can only win one of them.

Sabang, that's what I call photography. Nice bright light. Good perspective and sharp.

Kudos

[Megahorn]

So much to look at.

I like the look of sheer delight on the old ones face in the window reflection as she gives the devil a good soaking.

And the delight on the girl's face as she gives a perfect facial.

The recoil of fear in the boy in the back left upon seeing the devil (possibly).

The colour refraction (or whatever) in the boy's throw of water.

The exact moment of explosive impact between icy cold water and face.

And the fact it includes the devil himself.

Isaan... bloody hell.

[Megahorn]

Me mate buddha.

[Megahorn]

As for my last pic, I can't choose between these. If anyone can say 'Put in the 3rd one' for example, I'll put that in and delete the rest. So as it stands, none of these pics are being entered, just asking which one I should put in.

Cheers.

^^How about having a booby prize aswell, say breakfast at Crazy Daves (about 50 baht), so at least i have a chance of winning something??

[dirtydog]

^I don't think it is a good idea to start killing off posters at this stage of the game

naw, I dont like it smaller, no good at all

[DrAndy]

Sleeping Boatman, Kwai.

that is nice; your other bridge picture is not though, quite boring

this one has good balance and interest

[November Rain]

just asking which one I should put in.

difficult to say, as it's hard to see them properly, but the light looks interesting in number 3, so I'd say that one.

[Begbie]

Best Songkran picture I've seen by a long way. The face reflected in the car window makes the shot.

Might benefit from a faster shutter speed to sharpen up the droplets and water edging.

I have found that when taking pics of water splashing in sunlight with a compact digital it is a good to crank up the ISO to 200+. This seems to force the shutter speed faster rather than close the aperture so it is a good way of taking control of the shutter speed on compacts which don't allow direct control.

I like your third one, Sabang, but didn't you read Bustak's *POP* thread?

Before the POP:



After the POP:

Thanks. I pressed the big button thing, next to the power button thing to take the photo.


I think.
