Still haven't figured out how to make the colors I see when I shoot and in post-production show up in a jpeg on the internet. They don't "pop". Any tips?

Rock Creek

50mm

3 exposures (is that cheating?):

Don't think I'm going to get a chance to shoot much before the 4th, here are my motion entries. Not eligible because of the dates though.

I'm pretty sure its 100 times better than the pictures you haven't posted.

And if that's a crappy scenic, then why don't you go take a good one and show us how its done?

How do you know? Have you even seen the pictures he hasn't posted? I think you mean the pictures he HAS posted.

Semantics aside, Deep Days apparently has a much better grasp of capturing "motion" than you... It is pretty silly for you to be giving him shit, in light of your submissions.

**brice618** · 06-28-2007, 03:16 PM

It wouldn't be TGR if someone didn't get made fun of in a thread! Haha nothing like a beatdown on a friendly competition!

**smmokan** · 06-28-2007, 06:51 PM

I was being sarcastic with Max... I'm pretty sure he knew that. And my submissions... well, its all I've taken in the last week. Thanks for commenting though. Its awesome getting shit from people who haven't submitted anything.

And my point with Squatch is that he DOESN'T post pictures.

Cuz he's a hater. And that's ok... We should all know that by now.

Entry #2 coming shortly.

P.S. Those 4-wheeler pictures are sweeet.

**focus** · 06-28-2007, 07:25 PM

I was being sarcastic with you. Didn't you know??

I dunno why having a submission is a criterion for commenting. I'm not gonna just enter any old crap that I've taken in the past week into the contest, especially if it doesn't really have anything to do with motion. I've got snapshots with subjects that were moving when I took the picture, too.

Your point wasn't lost, just poorly made.

Back to the contest.... pardon the interruption.

**hop** · 06-29-2007, 12:22 AM

this isn't a submission since it was taken in May, but since I was playing with a few photos and I like it better than my other pic as far as motion is concerned, here it is:

we got there late and were right next to the SE corner of the stage.
got tix for kottke and subdudes shows
the dudes in black didn't mess with you for taking pics?

really cool shots. I especially like this one, with WM still and the two colorful dancing fellars in motion (lmk if you mind me linking)

and this pano is cool as well. some pretty amazing sunsets lately

Thanks. Those two are my favorite subjects. They just have so much personality, it really comes through in the photos of them.

I am trying to crop out the left side, but Lightroom will only let me crop so much. Anyone know how to crop just one side of the pic out in Lightroom? I want the right hand side to stay exactly the same, with the edge of the picnic table showing.

Unlock the ratio (sort of like a padlock-logo)... Or crop and then move the copped area so you have it how you want it.

**warthog** · 06-29-2007, 11:48 AM

Thanks- I can't tell you how long I looked for that info. When will I learn- asking TGR gets me the answer quicker. Here is a new crop, with some color tweaks:

**Shepherd Wong** · 07-01-2007, 09:45 PM

Nice pictures everyone, anyway here's my entry 2, from today July first. Ben Kraner from the local Deer Valley race.

Still can't decide if my last entry should be biking or concert.

That is my favorite so far. What lens/camera you using?

Thanks, the camera is a D200, the lens was a Sigma 10-20 at 14. SB-600 flash on camera.

Shutter speed and aperature, please?

Great shot, btw!

Edit: Can we have til the end of the week to submit pictures? I've taken some that I THINK would be decent submissions, but i can't upload them and do lossless rotations with IrfanView until i get home to my computer on Wednesday. What say you all?
