Due to complaints all around, "Motion Blur" has been changed to "Macro without Insects or Flowers." Try and capture an exciting macro shot without using flowers or insects. Have fun!
now hold it-- how many of us have the capability to set the exposure time on our cameras? not many, I'd guess. My camera sure won't do that, and without that, it's pretty darn hard to get any blur. Before we jump to the advanced, I think we should think about the others in the group.

It's a hard call, I don't mind the subject but if you can't set the shutter speed it's pretty hard to do.
Mon 7-Mar-2005 21:15 Posted by:Zandt
I can't set my shutter speed, but I get plenty of blurry shots. The trick is the right mix, which will be hard to control with the Mickey Mouse cameras that most of us have. Perhaps Brian should give a less sophisticated alternative for us laymen.
Mon 7-Mar-2005 22:30 Posted by:Marisa
yes, I suggest that BeeF gives us an alternative, or even another subject that would be more of a daily object than a specific form or style. Originally, (though I'm not sure if we ever stated this) the idea for kosomo was to have photos (and therefore the subjects) centered around "everyday things/objects" that everyone involved would have access to. We probably should have included this in the charter, but I guess we were to busy with "thou shalt nots".
Hope this clears things up a bit.

Hurrah for the early debate! Let's all get in a fury at the start this time.
Tue 8-Mar-2005 00:04 Posted by:Marisa
I agree.I can't set my shutter speed iether.
Tue 8-Mar-2005 01:01 Posted by:Famous Amos
Ok, OK! Sorry guys, it didn't occur to me that motion blur would be a difficult subject for most of y'all's cameras to capture.
I'll pick another topic... Hmmmm.... let me see. Let's try macro without insects or flowers.
Tue 8-Mar-2005 01:17 Posted by:BF
My favorite. I'm clapping my hands in glee, well, figuratively at least.
Tue 8-Mar-2005 01:24 Posted by:Marisa
I thought he said no insects
Wed 9-Mar-2005 00:47 Posted by:Famous Amos
why the restrictions, anyway?
Wed 9-Mar-2005 01:51 Posted by:roo
Yeah Z I'm normal not a big stickler for the rules, but the subject directly said no insects.
Wed 9-Mar-2005 03:15 Posted by:Pepe'
What do you all think of this verse?8He that committeth sinne, is of the deuill,for the deuill sinneth from the beginning : for this purpose the sonne of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the deuill.
9Whosoeuer is borne of God,doth not commit sinne : for his seede remaineth in him,and he cannot sinne,because he is borne of God.
1 John 3:8-9
Wed 9-Mar-2005 04:03 Posted by:Famous Amos
I think it doesn't have much to do with Macro
Wed 9-Mar-2005 06:44 Posted by:Pepe'
Excuse me. I thought that I said "without insects." This is a fairly common macro challenge, designed to get people to think outside of the normal macro box. If I didn't everyone (including me) would be pulling up old macro shots of parts of flowers, or insects on flowers, and that's all we'd have posted.

mouth... nice 0)
Wed 9-Mar-2005 17:16 Posted by:Zandt
The odds are stacked against me. All I see are flowers and insects.
Thu 10-Mar-2005 01:51 Posted by:Marisa
im tring to make conversation Josh.
Thu 10-Mar-2005 03:40 Posted by:Famous Amos
What do you live in a garden Marisa? I found about 50 cool things inside my house. Now to narrow it down to just two.
Thu 10-Mar-2005 04:44 Posted by:Larlie
Well, Marisa, maybe sometime someone will choose Macro WITH flowers and insects accepted...I bet there are some pretty cool shots out there in this group! But for now, this topic may take a bit more creativity, but it's a good one.
And whoever put up New Leaves...that's one good shot...droplet and all! Keep up the good work all of you!
This is going to be a GOOD week!! There are some really great pics up, I debate if I want to enter a pic at all because then I would have to vote. A good bit of conversation to boot!!!
Thu 10-Mar-2005 15:39 Posted by:KT
The cache is filling up fast. Going somewhere this weekend, folks?
Thu 10-Mar-2005 23:00 Posted by:Marisa
Great photos everyone.
Fri 11-Mar-2005 01:40 Posted by:Famous Amos
Come on people! I think we can bet last week's record of 35 entries!!
Fri 11-Mar-2005 16:56 Posted by:KT
What if we beat it? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's the mysterious malady again.
Look, I don't want to cause a bit uproar (well, maybe I do), but if I am to be held to posting pictures anonymously (which I've changed my mind about somewhat, and almost like), then so should Zandt be. As a mild-mannered enforcer of rules, I suggest that Zandt should stop signing his pictures, as a matter of politeness and group ethic.
Fri 11-Mar-2005 21:08 Posted by:Marisa
Nobody ever said you had to post anon. and really we all have very distinct styles that are pretty easy to spot. So I do not know what the big deal is 0)
Fri 11-Mar-2005 21:44 Posted by:Zandt
Yes, that was made a rule in November, Zandt. As for styles, I agree, but keep up with the pretense because asked.
Fri 11-Mar-2005 22:42 Posted by:Marisa
I never saw a rule made ? Where is Roo ?
Fri 11-Mar-2005 23:37 Posted by:Zandt
That was never made a rule,it was just an idea.Z I don't mean to be obnoxious,but if you can tell whos photos are whos which ones are mine?
Sat 12-Mar-2005 02:13 Posted by:Famous Amos
Where is everybody?
Sat 12-Mar-2005 04:20 Posted by:Sue
Yeah where is that roo?? I don't remember it being made an official rule either. I know we were supposed to take a vote on it and try posting anonymous for the week it was brought up, but I didn't know it was made a rule. I think we just all started posting anon because everyone else did.
Sat 12-Mar-2005 05:24 Posted by:Larlie
I think roo's present location is in a tent, far away from so-called civilization. Most of our rules are unwritten, just the course of the group altered by a request. Perhaps we should demand a formal declaration of rules, or get used to democracy.
Sat 12-Mar-2005 22:34 Posted by:Marisa
Polco!
Sun 13-Mar-2005 05:15 Posted by:Pepe'
What does that mean, Pepe'?
Sun 13-Mar-2005 20:09 Posted by:Marisa
It's what I yell back when someone yells MACRO!
Sun 13-Mar-2005 23:53 Posted by:Pepe'
Tune in for the official ruling:......now!
The desicion is: (and sorry for my extended tardiness, it really couldn't be helped) Kosomo participants may or may not let others know whose picture is theirs. It's their choice. Personally, I don't usually have any trouble identifying whose pictures are whose, but sometimes it can be challenging, especially when I start thinking about how I shouldn't do just that. This week was especially hard, and no amos, I don't know which are yours. One more thing; I'll be gone almost all of this week, so please try not to turn things chaotic. (like that'll ever happen!)
Excellent work this week, I'm truly impressed.
Sun 13-Mar-2005 23:56 Posted by:roo
Great edict, roo, and I do (finally) get what you mean, Pepe'.
Commence chaos.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 00:46 Posted by:Marisa
no, no, no! Cease chaos! Let harmony abide. Deep breaths everyone......[breathe in]..........[breathe out]...........now, isn't that better?
Mon 14-Mar-2005 02:38 Posted by:roo
Hey!
Y'all did great! I had a hard time voting this week.
I'm already scheming about another weird, different, or unusual topic for next time I win!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 02:43 Posted by:BF
I knew I wouldn't have to explain it to you
Mon 14-Mar-2005 02:45 Posted by:Pepe'
but we like chaos
Mon 14-Mar-2005 02:46 Posted by:Famous Amos
If there ever is a next time
Mon 14-Mar-2005 02:46 Posted by:Pepe'
let's form a brute squad, go over and break Beef's camera, then there won't be a next time!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 03:02 Posted by:roo
suuuuuueeeeeeey!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 03:28 Posted by:roo
Did everyone remember to vote?
Mon 14-Mar-2005 03:38 Posted by:roo
My pictures haven't exactly been up to my expectations lately
mostly because I have been busy with other things.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 03:52 Posted by:Zandt
Mine were exactly what I expected.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 04:21 Posted by:Marisa
let's get some chatter going!!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:02 Posted by:roo
Pay attention. Don't let your mind wander.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:08 Posted by:Marisa
OK!! that sounds great! what did you have in mind?
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:09 Posted by:roo
I think you know already. Or choose for yourself.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:10 Posted by:Marisa
[my last comment was directed at the comment I made before that, seeing as no one was talking, I was going for the one sided conversation, but aside from all that:] there was an unbelievable occurence tonight on KOSOMO!! Y'all will receive the results shortly (before midnight!!)
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:19 Posted by:roo
We noticed
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:23 Posted by:Famous Amos
No we have five choices.BF is out of the sudden death because he won last week so he cant pick the next subject.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:27 Posted by:Famous Amos
so, what the thought? not only did we set the picture record at 36, we set the tie record at 6! unbelievable!!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:30 Posted by:roo
Inconceivable!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:31 Posted by:Marisa
Isn't it
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:32 Posted by:Famous Amos
yes it isn't, I mean is.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:37 Posted by:roo
did you by chance even read what i said?
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:39 Posted by:Famous Amos
No need for the brute squad. My camera is already broken. It is now only a point and shoot camera, since a major controlling button no longer works.
Good work, people.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:39 Posted by:BF
But I COULD still win.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:40 Posted by:BF
I missed the excitement, while I was shopping for a new -- BETTER -- one.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:41 Posted by:BF
it's those Japs! blame not winning on the tojos!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:42 Posted by:roo
Maybe so, and the sucker I am, it'll probably be a Canon G series again.... this time new.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:43 Posted by:BF
are you getting a grandpa camera to match the car?
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:43 Posted by:roo
I'm having a hard time seeing shelling out the $$ for a Rebel right now...
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:44 Posted by:BF
Hey, if I look less like a roudy teenager that way, so be it!
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:45 Posted by:BF
(ps.s., it's pick on Beef night.)
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:45 Posted by:roo
BTW, what's a "grandpa camera?"
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:45 Posted by:BF
You're just jealous, that's all.
Mon 14-Mar-2005 05:46 Posted by:BF
I'd like to see your sedan in a flat out against my rowdy truck. I'm signing off, but it was good ribbing you B. I'll let you have the last say.
