Pat! Please tell me this isn't THAT kind of contest! Seriously??? You are eliminated because of a date error like that one? Is the prize a new car???? :rolleyes:

Its to keep the competition fair. To ensure that the photos are taken during the timeframe.

I wish there was a car!!! :) Of course with a Truck, SUV, 2 seat convertible and 3 motorcycles, dont know where I would put it if I won!! :)

Most important for me is to learn and improve and I at least got to do the exercises and learned from them.. I will finish them off anyway for my own satisfaction!!

Thanks Laura!

​Pat I say post your photo. Not like you never entered the contest before. Not that it's up to me, but I say as long as the EXIF data say it was taken with a D7100 I buy that it was taken within the time frame (this time, just kidding lol)

Rick, thanks for the support.. for anyone who knows me, knows I have only had the 7100 less than a week... not everyone does though. :rolleyes: Hey, it will not happen again!! :) I have already fixed it... so I will be good for the next competition challenge...

Good luck my friend....

Nothing, Normally I do. I'm banking on the fact I'm going to be around my Daughter and her boy friend on Wednesday.

That sounds like a loose plan... at least you have a couple "models" for the Photo! Be anxious to see what you come up with... You do good with these types of photos'! I have learned from you on these and appreciate it.

​My how things have change in the last 4 hours. I have to cancel my outing with my daughter and boy friend. We had planned to go down to downtown Chicago on Wednesday and take in a couple of the Museums, then do a photo shoot of them on the Lakefront and use the "skyline" as a backdrop.

However my wife has to report to the hospital for emergency testing for an ulcer. I'm not going to sit here and make excuses, but I have really struggled with this challenge for one reason or another since it was announced, and this latest development is typical how our last two weeks have been.

We have been out and about taking photo's, but that has been mostly to keep her busy until we were able to see a specialist today, and try to keep her mind off the fact she's been throwing up blood for the last 11 days.

Thank you in advance for the well wishes etc. My wife is a sickly women and this is not something we are not use to. We will be fine, we always are. Just another chapter in the never ending medical book I'm writing on her.

Rick, sorry about your wife being ill... I hope that she gets in quickly and they can do something for her...

If you need anything.. someone to talk to, want to rant in an email, I am here... I can make my phone and email available...

Mine is up - it was fun and pretty hard, lol. Did it with the timer on the camera, you guess how many turned out wrong.

Looking forward to seeing your photo Shannon.. You have done some amazing stuff with that camera...

I have 2 or 3 versions of 2 concepts on my computer but never finished the post work once I found out the dates were in June of 2011. Ironic, the camera was not even a dream back in 2011.. :) Thats what I get for being stupid... :(

Anyway, off to to play with Lightroom 5.. have a set from the Weekend I need to get done and uploaded for the crew from PA. I will post proc my shot by Friday so you can at least see what my entry would have looked like

Tell Corey I said hello when you guys chat at the judging...

Re: Faymus Media Photo Challenge #6 "Winners Battle Round #1" 4 Part Contest!

I posted this up a couple days back... have a date issue (or did) on my D7100.

"I regretfully am out of this weeks compettion... all of my work was done with the new D7100 ... but I accidentally messed up the date during the setup and it shows the photos taken this week in 2011, not 2013. (Of course the camera did not exist then) (and I did not have the camera until this week)

Anyway... I will not have time to start over and re-create this in the next 2 days.. (props are gone for one and no model for the other)

Sorry folks... I was looking forward to this one... it was tough and I worked hard to make a presentable photo...

See you all the next challenge and good luck...

Pat in NH "

Anyway, unable to re-take after I found and fixed the date in the camera... I had a couple possibles but when I found the date issue Monday Night, never bothered to finish the post work... I will do that tonight or tomorrow and post at least one in the forum here so you and the others can actually see what I would have submitted.. :)

Well, better get back to work here... have a great day!

No entry from you?

Without an entry... I will likely skip the spreecast too... (I may change my mind and show up but if not, you know why)

Since mine will not be critiqued anyway, I can get the replay to see how you called the others...

Have a good day and do not work to hard...

WUD don't be to hard on me, it was all I had. We adopted a puppy not to long ago from a rescue and every since the first time I through the Frisbee for her she hasn't put it down.
I'm calling this "Love of the game".

Corey you might want to start a new thread, the title for this one is misleading.

Rick my thoughts are still with you and yours.
