said: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/letter_u I am happy to see that the SI hasn't quite faded into oblivion and still has an element of fun to it. Thanks to all who played. Now on to my comments before I head to the dentist and another new experience, an implant. Pete Attkins: Nice nighttime street shot, but like Tony, I struggled to find a "U" association. Tim Conway: Yup! The end result of human consumption, "Ugly"! Jessica Stevens, welcome to this little zoo: Umbrellas were not unexpected for this mandate, but you have presented some unique examples. Personally I liked your first shot of the three as it evoked the giant garden the oversized daisy promised. Eric Stevens (I assume this is our NZ Eric): #1: If those are your underwear much is explained. ;-) #2: I get the "underpass" but you seem to have metered on the sky above the bridge, leaving the lower potion of your image in shade and tough to define. Perhaps an ND Grad for the sky and metering below the bridge might have worked better. Even HDR might have been interesting. #3: You have creeks in NZ? Bowser: #1: Nice! I like the color, and the repetition down the deck, or pier. #2: Great! The unicycle capture is the pick of this crop. What is there to say, but good work and great luck to be there at the right moment, prepared to take the shot. #3: OK! I get it, but did Phydeaux really enjoy this modeling job? Yours truly: #1: The udder is obvious, but it is probably one of my worst results in recent memory.After I got out of my car to leisurely take my shots of the bucolic scene, the cattle standing near the fence, took one look at me, turned and retreated. This left me fumbling to get at least one or two udder shots as they swayed away from me at a fair clip. It seems I held no appeal to this particular group of ladies. ;-) #2: Just an uncoupled freight car in a siding. #3: ...and a ewe fo U. Tony Cooper: #1: Now that is a bust! #2: Truly a unique capture, which raises the question; Are you going to the dogs? #3: Nice and clean. I really like that shot of the Model "A" dash. I love the speedo and fuel gauge. I am not sure that the ammeter is original, I would like to believe the restorer sought out the closest facsimile. #4: Underwater, not unexpected from you, but I would have thought in your case the camera would have been underwater. Alan Browne: #1 & #2: I like both of your umbrela shots, both have an imaginative angle to them. #3: Your utensils have some lighting an DoF issues even at F/7.1 Peter Newman: #1: Clever! #2: Actually not so ugly, I think it is a great shot. The textures punctuated with that eye are just perfect. MG: #1: Technically a nice enough shot, but the tools on the left are distracting. ....and only with your title post was it possible to make the "U" association. All in all a fair turnout. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Perhaps an ND Grad for the sky and metering below the bridge might have worked better. Even HDR might have been interesting. I originally expected to get rising the sun shining up the valley onto the road under the underpass. Instead it appeared over the hill to one side. The buildings were fully (brightly) illuminated while the valley was still in deep shadow. Before the sun appeared I knew neither what the right time would be or the right exposure. I set up the camera on Aperture priority with the interval timer set to take five series of shots at three minute intervals. Each Series consisted of five shots bracketing the measured exposure. The most successful was the one chosen. What you saw was what I got, except that the picture as a whole seems less bright. Maybe it suffered in the conversion from ProPhoto RGB to sRGB. #3: You have creeks in NZ? Mostly paddle-free zones. Bowser: #1: Nice! I like the color, and the repetition down the deck, or pier. #2: Great! The unicycle capture is the pick of this crop.

Then again I love milk. Bowser's doggie underpants.. otherwise a stellar set! Wuuf! -- "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty." Douglas Adams - (Could have been a GPS engineer). |

First, thanks to Alan for jumping in and taking the reins. He bugged us to send in our submissions and posted the results quickly. I do wish he would have included the comments about the images that he asked for. You're right about comments. I'll attend to it asap. The Pbase management interface is not particularly friendly and I've had a few glitches getting used to it again. but where's the unicorn?
