I think Pascale had a good idea, but understand Cyn's comments about work to achieve that... Maybe, the "last week in the gallery" option is a good compromise. You could "just" put a number to each picture and ask us to vote for 3 picts, on a thread... (If I remember, the Terragen commnunity already makes something like that). For clone voting, it's true it's a problem 'cause if you share the same connection behind a router, all your PCs have the same IP. By the way, if I can help, just ask, because I'm on RR almost everynight ! Wait and see. Olivier.

I wasn't able to make a good entry for september challenge... SO maybe for october ! My choice goes to #5 and #2. Olivier

Totally agree with Andreas, we will help you as much as we can. Let's list our competences to help Kim : - some habit with Mac - some habit in press (I coordinate a pro heading in a magazine) - some e-books on photo work flow... Come on guys, make this list as long as you can !!! PS Some habit in cooking too ;o))

CONGRATULATIONS KIM. It's a great new for you ! I'm sure Mike will learn how to cook (or use the microwave !!!). I imagine what picture you can make with a "real" camera... I'm so happy. Well done. Hugs. Olivier

SO happy birthday Andreas.

Olivier

PS : Here is a pano, sorry for the long scroll ! ;o)))

Sidobre is located in Tarn et Garonne. It's near Albi.

Pascale, amber is gorgeous !

Still a tons of gorgeous shots. It's a gemm to find the best of the best here !

Please Andreas, don't do that again, my mouse fell down !!! LOL

Happy fall to everyone.

Ekta 100 (slides) when I worked with argentic... But by now my favourites films are the Aliens serie, LOTR (like Andreas) and Moulin Rouge !

Congrat Kim. It's a real GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD news. Can you call someone in that paper to know what kind of camera they use and tell us. We'll find a ton of documents on the web for you (don't we guys, hey it's for Kimmie !!) and send to you. You'll just have to read during 5 days, 24 hrs... All my wishes are with u and I'd like to be an angel to be with you tuesday and convince that editor (as I said be yourself and everything gonna be OK) You're the queen tonight so dance as long as you want. HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS Olivier

Hey guy, hope you'll be better fast ! What is the key of your choice ? Money, performance ? IMHO, if money is not a problem to you (send me a cheque LOL) and buy the best (Canon Mark). If it's not, I think the 5D is a good choice between fist DSLR and pros. I have a Rebel and if I could have your choice... don't dream Olivier... Good luck. Olivier

Are u sure that kind of thing is really a good one ? I have a Nikon coolpix AND a Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) and I'm glad to loose that f***ing screen on my DSLR... The traditional view is much more precise ! No parasite light, full concentration on your composition AND no silly look with your arms behind you ! LOL But of course, it a matter of taste ! Have a good evening (and buy a DSLR anyway, you'll enjoy it and give us wonderful pics...) Olivier

Hehe... Birthday money ! I have a Canon 300D since last december (birthday time !) and I cry everytime I can't use it... It's amazing, and after about 2000-3000 pictures I really begin to play with all the tips it allows. I had a manual argentic reflex (Pentax) and a numeric Nikon coolpix. And waoooh, a DSLR is a real diamond. For the lenses, I have the "standard" 18-55 which is not so bad and bought a Tamron 28-105. It's a little bit short, but my next gift will probably be a wide angle (less than 18, but often expensive), 'cause I make a lot of landscapes, and maybe a macro. So good shopping, and enjoy your new toy !
