Scarby 2011 photos?

[Merlin the Elder]

About every 15 pics turn out decent.

Obviously I need to take notes...  That's better than I do 

Shoot 1000, delete 800, process 50, post 10 (maybe).. Hmmm ... 1%

You win!!!

Stalk well...

My late father-in-law was a photo-engraver, now a lost art. He got me interested in photography to begin with. He told me that if I got one really good shot out of a roll of 36-frames, that was a good thing. With digital photography these days, it certainly makes it easier and cheaper! Slightly better that 1%, Stalkwell, but close enough... you understand the odds!  You do some really great work, though, as does your lovely better half. In case no one has thanked you lately, we are most appreciative of yours and Kim's work.

You had better watch that praise thing... you'll have me turning 18% red scale   Both Kim and I appreciate the kudos (Kim is bouncing in her chair while reading this).

We have to follow our passion.  It just so happens that all of you are superb subjects (for photographs that is, not saying we are royalty or anything).  That makes it a lot easier to get good, and sometimes better than good shots.  We both enjoy it to the point of being constantly up until 2 in the morning working these things.  We just can't work enough of the shots for the people that deserve them, so we do what we can do.  If you see us dragging our tails at faire, that means the previous weekend was probably a good weekend for photography.

Stalk well... (and Faeriebox too)

To quote a famous Star Fleet Doctor...
"In a PIG'S EYE!!!"

You all do quite well (and Merlin is no exception).  Quite often you do better than we do at the same shots.  We are trying for a more technically difficult style of shot, and very often entirely miss the moment that you capture.  When we get to the point of not missing the moments, then we will be up there with you guys!  Between everyone here (and I mean everyone from $35 digitals and disposable cameras to $10K rigs, from 5 minutes to a half century's worth of experience), the mood and magic gets covered.  No one is 'better', just different.  And all are appreciated.

Stalk well...

OUCH!  I suspect that wasn't really a dig at Merlin 

Al-Nimer... I saw you working that camera of yours at FoF for all it was worth, learning how to meter better on the fly.  And from the look of it, you did wrangle it.  You even conceded the ultimate a male can concede.. that you might have to actually read the manual! (yes, that was in jest).  You do a good if not great job at it.  You get around better than Kim and I do, nab a much wider variety of shots, and you are trying to better yourself technically at the same time.  What's even more important, you are getting the shots that are important to you.  That's all anyone can hope for with any camera at faire.

Keep up the good work.

Stalk well...

Oh, definitely NOT a dig, but a comparison of your work to my own 

Even so, thanks so much for the compliments and encouragement!  BTW, I still haven't RTFM

I have to say one of my favorite shots is one stalkwell took just off the cuff of the PP and I. "Pink Pirate steals a kiss".  I have it as the home screen on my phone. 
One day I left my phone ona shelf outside my cube at work.  Soon as they turned it on they knew who it was. They thought it was adorable.

I didn't get many shots worth sharing- but, I was pretty proud of this one picture I got with a  regular digital camera at the Fire Whip show.
