Can I take a picture of a picture of a sunset? Does that count?

AxleIke · 04-10-2008, 01:12 PM

The time frame rule is super lame. I have a great sunset shot, but not from the right time.

Yeah I kinda agree.... But if we didn't have that rule all the photo-jokey's out there would kick our butts. What if we made the time frame to the past year??

tc · 04-10-2008, 01:36 PM

to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the timeframe deal either, but it does level the playing field - everyone has the same week to take the picture, and hopefully, it inspires some creativity into the interpretation of the theme - these don't necessarily have to be pictures of the sun setting on the western horizon ...

Oh - and if you have a great pic, post it up anyways!

wizzells · 04-10-2008, 04:01 PM

Im gonna throw up a picture, but it wont get submitted since it was taken last summer. Maybe this can kick it off this week.

**Lysmachia** · 04-10-2008, 04:32 PM

Oh and I'll play along. This was the last year on our way back from Farmington....

I'll bump with some unfortunately out of date range pix:

(not bad considering I was using a beer bottle as a tripod)

You are lucky that digital cameras were $1200 when I lived on the coast. There were some amazing sunsets there. There's some decent ones here, also. I'll see if I can get one tomorrow, but there aren't any clouds, so the sky might not be so pretty, but the scenery around it might.

X-AWDriver · 04-12-2008, 12:57 AM

stormin,didn't regular film cameras work on the coast??

These were from a little bit earlier that day.

stormin94 · 04-12-2008, 01:12 AM

NICE!!!!

Yes, regular cameras worked, but I don't have a very good scanner, so quality will be poor at best.

The sunsets on the coast do kick butt, i wish i knew how to take nice pictures. Best i got is a disposable in my glovebox

the picture quality from them after scannage is awful. Very nice pics too by the way - X-awdriver

tc · 04-12-2008, 09:41 AM

If you have a really great pic on film, take it to a real camera shop (like Ritz, Wolf, etc) - most of them can scan the negative at VERY high resolution, resulting in a very good digital file.

wizzells · 04-13-2008, 07:16 PM

Alright, here is my official entry this week. Who says you cant get a good sunset in Wisconsin in April? (actually I think I just got really lucky since it's been raining the last 5 days)
