Why is Rocserum allowed to put his thunderstorm pic up in the challenge that he clearly stated was taken during the day but you wont let me put up my IR shots? If anything my ir shots should be up there since all visable light was blocked and they were taken in a wavelength of light humans cant even see. You cant get lowerlight than that. So whats up?

Hmmm....let me look....I'm confused? scratches head

Well I found it and I see what you're saying...I obviously didn't read it! :~) So thank you very much for pointing it out..... I suppose it should be removed. It was my mistake in not noticing it.... I wonder if anyone would care to debate before I do take it down....since I care not to be called names by anyone. :~/ This is after all the forums challenge....

I figured you were giving special treatment to a friend and not me cause you dont know me....just got in from 12 hours of work (Mover) and it was 94degrees here today so i had a short fuse the minute i walked into the door and i noticed that pic and the timer was activated on the nuclear bomb inside me. Sorry to be a pest;)

But I don't know rocserum either! So no, no special treatment. I do want to give him the opportunity to respond and I have IM'ed him to let him know.... While I may give out hugs and kisses to my friends.....no one get preferential treatment when it comes to challenges or things like that! :~)

But I thought you liked me!!! =:-) Bsteph

Hugz and Kisses to Michelle....Sigh...ooh what the Hell...heaps of Fluffy Smoooooochies as well:)

Some of us don't even get the amount of hugz and kisses we deserve..... (",)

Aaagghhhhhh!! I just wrote out a lengthy post and it vanished :( Here I go again, with a shorter version... Roscerum's photo was taken during the day, so it does not count, imho. No offense roscerum, but the theme is "Night". To me, night means, "Between dusk till dawn while the sun is below the horizon". Michelle wrote, "We hope that this will be fun and helpful to all of us in our efforts to improve our photographic skills." That is exactly what I see the challenge being about. The majority of us voted on this theme so we could enhance are night photography skills. Michelle also wrote, "Think outside of the box and let your imagination go." That could be misleading to some people, but ultimately, I believe Michelle still meant for everyone to still keep the focus on night photography. Maybe we should have titled it "Night Photography", to help any confusion. shrug Azraelll, you do great IR photos and I respect your skills, as it is not for the novice photographer. I don't think they really quailfy what we were aiming towards for night photography, though. Maybe you could add IR to July's selections for the the challenge. Michelle is always very open to new ideas to add to the voting list :) I understand these are simply my own opinions and others may have completely different thoughts they may want to share. I hope I have not offended anyone during my ramblings here, as words are not my best gift :)

LoL! Hard to believe the posting above is the shorter version ;)

I'll say!!! (",)

Kisses and Hugz to MzQt and JordyArt.....ooh and smoochies ....sigh

yea, me and Michelle already discussed my IR photos being in the challenge, since they were taken during the day, they werent allowed....but theres a few days left so im gonna try to reverse my photos....im gonna put my IR pass filter on my 3 million candle power halogen light and bathe the night with IR light and see if the camera can do it like that:)

Oooo.....that oughta be very kewl to see!

Azraelll, that sounds very interesting. Please do share your results, even if it turns out you aren't happy with the photos enough to enter them. I'm new to photography, so I am curious. Hugz back at you Tedz ;) Shannon

Ooo..all the hugs and smootchies....blows kisses to Tedz too....and strokes Jordy's head.....yes Brian I wuv you too! Hahahahaha...... feel the love.....

Why not simply photograph some thing in IR and the same subject in visible then attemp to combine them. To me that is whe fun of IR. But then I'm a chemist. I guess I tend to the scientific. Bsteph

Ive tried that, but i wasnt pleased with the results, anyway, i cant find my filter, i moved 3 months ago and "misplaced" it :-(. BUT.....im just gonna order 1 tomorrow and next day rush it, then ill be back in the saddle again :-)

Hi Michelle Its true, that picture wasn't taken by night, but I posted this image to show how nature quickly chanced from day to night in bad weather conditions. I thought,it fits in the challence. Sorry to here there is a differentcy about it. nevertheless, do what you have to do. No hard feelings. Roc Serum Holliday keeps me off this forum, RS
