Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / November 2007The Fabulous 500 Gets Dusted At the 30 Yard Line!
Yes sports fans, once again the Fabulous 500 holds it own against all obstacles. Even with a crappy background and the mediocre bokeh of the Fab 500 doesn't hold Ty back from dusting the opposition. <http://www.geocities.com/ritaberk2007/dusted.htm> Rita On Nov 4, 10:56 am, Rita ?

His chin is awfully exposed and getting hit on the chin is the quickest way to a concussion. Also, teach him to keep his chin down, more. I didn't have much time to grab a photo, so this is the first one I saw. Look at the replationship of the helmet to chin to face-mask. http://www.salamancasports.com/2007_Warriors/v/2007_Sachems_Midget_1/IMG_0247.JP G.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=2 Anyway, nice picture. P.S. My son plays full-back, so he never sees an open field. Usually it's 3 or 4 yards up the middle. Here's what he considers having space around him: http://www.salamancasports.com/2007_Warriors/v/2007_Warriors_Playoff2/IMG_1784.J PG.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=2 and linebacker on defense http://www.salamancasports.com/2007_Warriors/v/2007_Warriors_Playoff2/IMG_1775.J PG.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=2 >> Yes sports fans, once again the Fabulous 500 holds it own against all >> obstacles.

Also, teach him to keep his chin down, more. Thanks for the excellent pointers. Constructive criticism is always welcome. I think once the coach from each team review the photos they will see what is happening and what is not happening and take corrective action. Some of these little items of concern aren't really visible to us till after the fact. The nice thing about photos is you always see something you missed when looking at it live. > I didn't have much time to grab a photo, so this is the first one I > saw.

What's really nice is these kids play harder and have more spirit than most NFL players.

Next guess? > > badly used blur tool........ BINGO!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!! This is called "Tennessee bokeh" for the people that didn't catch it. It's an old hillbilly technique used to cover shortcomings in poor quality L glass. I confess, I learned it from a certain someone in this group. My next goal is to get images with that painted on watercolor look that is so animated.

Canon is guilty of many flaws in their L glass, but CA isn't one of them on the old 500/4L IS. The bokeh is for crap, that's it.

I'm not talking about bokeh. I was referring to the purple fringing where the white borders the black. Signaturem-m > I'm not talking about bokeh.

When you are dealing with fools like Rita and D-Mac, who don't know how to use Photoshop properly, you're liable to see all kinds of messy things in their pics. For them, shooting JPGs with a cheap point-and-shoot would be a better choice. > > I'm not talking about bokeh. I was referring to the purple fringing > > where the white borders the black.

This coming from the village idiot who though my use an alienskin plugin to add some lightning to the shot: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/27848862 was real "cool" stuff when you thought you'd be such a fantastic SHOOTIN manager! ROTFL at that one. Who rules with that one mate? Every time you have a go at other people, you stick your foot further down your throat. I reckon pretty soon you'll need colostomy bag just hold your spare shoes!.LOL!! D-Mac |
