@VNVObit: Dunno how you're hosting your pic, but sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't.

Likewise, I've just not been able to get the picture that I'd like to, so here's one of my old SB Audigy taken just now:

Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.

I've got an idea for something to take. Hopefully I'll get the chance this week.

Phew, just spotted that the closing date was tonight! 8O

Anyway, I wanted to play around about with exposure times, etc. as I really haven't done anything more than use Auto for most things, with a bit of manual focus now and then.

First, here's the source material, Muttley's Rack of DOOM:

So, then it was time for lights out, and these are my favourites of the evening:

Some lovely circles:
Image

Almost made my own waveforms here:
Image

This one has to be my final submission though, totally chaotic and very pretty. I like the fact that the LED numbers still show up nicely. It was also a total accident as I managed to knock the camera off the box it was sitting on. :D
Image

The only thing done to these is a bit of cropping and contrast adjustment.

Well here is my sound card, I just thought I'd post a photo of it to complement the Audigy but this isn't my entry

Now, here is my actual entry, I thought I'd go small with this one

Yep, I'm slightly late on closing dates. I'm busy busy and RiK's driving home after coming up to visit. Hopefully sort it out tonight. :)

Right-oh!

Home now after 450 miles in the rain. Still totally worth it to catch up with all the Ruffians up in sunny Dundee!

Comp's now closed, and Jima's shortlist is as follows:

Meow - Simple, made made me laugh.

Image
Xstreme - Nice fluid movement feeling in this, especially curious on the setup and what's being played.

Image
Nutty - Can't quite narrow down why I like this but it just seems to have good presence.

Image
Nyarla - my favourite of the bunch, really nice and moody.

Image
Muttley - I'm a bit of a sucker for this sort of thing and I like the slightly chaotic result.

Oooh, now I have a dilemma. I was all geared up to vote for bumblebee's stunning picture and then it didn't get into the final 5. I'm all of a quandry now...
