Crap. All the wasted work. Back to the drawing board.

agreed. I will more & likely show the original & the end product when I get around to posting my entries. I mainly do cropping & adjusting the levels, like I've mentioned I like to crush the shadows & open up the highlights.

Especially for Bustak's photos.

damn, I can produce the negative.

I'm moving tomorrow & I have so many negatives it's not even funny. The scary thing is we're talking about pictures taken since March, so in 5 months I've taken roughly a million film pictures (give or take a few 100,000).

I need to go back to digital, that Rebel dSLR is looking really good right now.

hah, that will show you

a million digital pics will fit on a smallish drive, no problem

Nobodys organised enough to file that many negatives and find one again.

You big fibber. It was taken 24 hours earlier. Just past midnight on the 26th, I believe.

Disqualification for fibbing?

My first entry is taken at the Por Tek thung Foundation temple in Chinatown sometime earlier this year. I always meant to do a thread of those pics as I was rather pleased with them. Glad I didn't now. I set a tripod up and took a lot of pics of people adding insense sticks to these large brass pot. This was the best one.

Canon 30D - EF 24 - 105 4L IS USM - 1/6th at f4 - ISO 100

**Bobcock** · 30-07-2008, 10:05 PM

The second is of one of my children rising up out of the water whilst on holiday in Hoi An, Vietnam last week.

Canon 30D - EF 100 - 400 1:4.5 - 5.6 L IS - 1/2000th at f8 - ISO 400

**Bobcock** · 30-07-2008, 10:09 PM

Lastly is a photgraph taken in a market in Saigon last Saturday. The site of these frogs sitting on a metal plate surrounded by faceless skinned frogs that were still bouncing around was captivating. There was no doubt these frogs were terrified.

Canon 30D - EF 100 - 400 1:4.5 - 5.6 L IS - 1/200th at f6.3 - ISO 100

**Marmite the Dog** · 30-07-2008, 10:39 PM

Ahh, nice pics.

Shame you didn't read about the 'no added borders' rule.

Next!

**JuniorExPat** · 30-07-2008, 11:04 PM

Borders or no borders, excellent shots.

Great frog pic Bob! Posted a pic of one getting devoured by young Wayne Jnr in the extremely fascinating rug rats thread - https://teakdoor.com/the-teakdoor-lou...tml#post707114

Not worthy of the photo comp and all that

**machangezi** · 31-07-2008, 09:48 AM

Wonderful shots, Bob. Love the composition and colour capture in the second pic.

Great effort Bobcock. All three are potential winners.

**ChiangMai noon** · 31-07-2008, 11:12 AM

those first 2 shots are excellent bobcock, especially the kid in the water one.

don't like the frames though.

**machangezi** · 31-07-2008, 11:22 AM

My first entry taken early this year when I visited a customer in south Asia.

Camera Nikon D80, Lens 18-200mm f/3.5 IF-ED AF-S VR DX, ISO 100.

**ChiangMai noon** · 31-07-2008, 11:25 AM

Nice subject, but what have you done to the outside?

it's darker.

**machangezi** · 31-07-2008, 11:26 AM

Sort of frame to match it with Bob's piccies.

**ChiangMai noon** · 31-07-2008, 11:27 AM

think it would be nicer without.

**machangezi** · 31-07-2008, 11:30 AM
