Your right joust, sometimes cell phones will pull off a few crazy cool pictures but it's like 1 out of 500!
I think your camera is pretty nice Joust, either way it doesn't matter because you have it dialed in and you take great shots.
I'd like to see a shot of how you utilize your other gear. I'd like to see a typical Joust shot setup!

I feel like you guys took what RuralAnomaly said the wrong fucking way.
All he did was state some ideas about how to improve on next years contest and asked how other people felt about it.
If you can't handle criticism without responding with something like "quit being a cry baby" the internet may not be isn't the place for you.

thank you!
as far as the rules thing ran-d, apparently you did NOT read or they've been edited, which i cannot control.
initially joust said 'anyone who submits will get a consolation prize' and 'i will be the judge'
nowhere did i see him say "dudes i kinda want to change the way things are structured" and for any of you to insist that this is normal behavior, whether on the net, or not, whether its a first time, or not, its really dumbfounding.
i think this has me perplexed more than anything, and you're right, i can't wrap my brain around that, so i'm going to let it go.
Joust admited that he didn't execute the greatest, and i can accept that 100%, i'm just not buying into 'the dog ate my homework' train of thought.
I have repeatedly stressed (go read, its there) how i do understand the motive behind his offer (i'm speaking to you as well joust, just using third person here for convienience) and that everything was well intended. I am sure he's a very nice guy and i would be glad to meet any of you. Even YOU ran-d. heh. i hope someday you have my back like you have jousts...
only hopefully not holding sharp objects back there.... JUSSST kiddin! gawd. relax everyone. seriously.
now lets have a group hug, and no groping.

I don't "have Joust's back", there is no favoritism going on. If your posts were logical I would agree with them, but they're not.
For you to be "dumbfounded" by the idea of letting people vote on the contest is a bit dramatic, don't you think? You're taking it all way too seriously.

I think the one photo (or photo series) which inspired me the most on the Shroomery was from Lord Mayonnaise' Spring Gyms thread a little while back. That dude and The Thinker are truly in tier 1 by themselves.

I don't care about "winning" and I don't think anyone else should either. This is about having fun and when you guys get all dramatic about it it stops being enjoyable for me. So please gentlemen, take it easy and keep it happy  Happy holidays, you guys mean more to me than you known
