Can you interpret your name caption in American for me please?

I thought of you yesterday because I went to an old car show. It was for a convention with a tiki theme, so the cars were mostly buggies, hot rods, and woodys. Here's a link to a back-door to my photos that doesn't need a password:

To see more detail of the cars in the same set, add this to the end of the link &ratings=345

HA!!! I've been bombing in the digi comps, thats cos I'm using ancient one's from about a year ago. But the animals and children one doesnt count, photo's taken with love are lucky, you know that ;)

as for the disasterous electricals..a good friend of mine gave me her old laptop which only happened to be 6 months old. And another let me "borrow" his version of photoshop. So I'm back up and running. I've been borrowing the boyfriends to enter comps, it's been crap.

I'm still busy doing other stuff but I've had photoshop for a full day now and I'm happy happy happy :) Hope you're well mate. Love to all the family. Jo xxx

That's great news about the laptop & photoshop (both pricey items), friends are a blessing aren't they?! You were due a good break I reckon.

As for your watery doggie entry not counting, that's bollocks, it's a great entry, & your photographers eye that took the photo & then chose that particular entry from your archive to use, so once again, well done you bandicoot !!

I'm back!!!! Did you miss me? ;) x

========

It hasn't slowed you down flogging us all in the contests you bandicoot !!

Yes we have missed you. Good to have you back, what did you do with your laptop situation?

Peter

Thank you for visiting. The sunrise image of the San Diego skyline was taken from the deck of the USS Nimitz, an aircraft carrier. My son was stationed on it and we were attending a Family Day which included a VERY early boarding and then short cruise off of the San Diego coast. It was fun. This is one of my very early shots using a Sony point and shoot.

Thanks for the word about my comments on what amounts to abandoned critique pages. I had no idea how it worked. So which ones are the most recent postings, pages 1 and 2, or what?

=======

Hi John,

Look at the date of the first post in the particular critique & just comment on the most recent ones (the last month or so). The last post won't tell you because if someone makes a recent post on a 2 year old critique, then it will look like a new post. Unfortunately we have had some wallies deliberately dredging old critiques up, so that the new critiques that current fotkins are asking for help on keep getting pushed down the list, making it harder for them to find them again.

The Critique Me forum was added by fotki after requests by fotkins, & has proved quite popular and helpful, but the dredging up of old entries was getting to be a real pain.

We welcome your involvement & insights.

Peter

Just stopping by to pat your back and tell you well done! I really like this weeks DA "contest" entry.... I NEVER tire of these types of images and you do a great job with your edits.....so a big old slap on the back to you..... and thank you for YOUR recent comments.....
you are very kind......................
Thomas

Thanks for your kind words in " My Photo of the Week (August 3-9) " mate

Yeah, I'll feel the same shame when we win the Tri-nations ! (also joking !)

Re the plastic money : the comment made over here (and I'm sure it's old hat over there !) is that it's easier to "launder" LOL !

Cool,1st place congrads Peter, well deserved.

Thank you for the photo on the hummingbird photo.

Regards,
Bruce

hi mr0oo

how about him huh? never guessed he would do something like that. maybe he should go to the naughty corner with bryan. lol

Hey mate, thanks for the support on the Clovelly entry, much appreciated !

Now please tell me, what is the deal with the plastic money in your country ? or is this standard issue to immigrants ? It all sounds most intriguing !

========

Gidday mate. Yes, you've pegged it, immigrants are issued with plastic money until they've proven they're not terrorists or even worse - PPG's !!

No, the polymer notes provide much greater security against counterfeiting. They also last four times as long as conventional paper notes. We're actually world leaders in bank note technology.

Now to use it to bribe the umpires in the last test for the Ashes !!

Hi Peter
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your banter in the competitions, even if you don't know what a dry stane dyke is!!!! The competitions to me are more of a gallery and I love the comments....... the results don't really matter. Thanks for being my friend!

Thanks Myra, me too. I've met a lot of good friends through the contests, whatever their shortcomings may be, & people get so upset over them, but they serve a useful purpose. With regards friendship the feeling is mutual mate, you're one of my oldest & dearest fotki mates, & I just hope we finally make it to Scotland one day to lob on your doorstep & sus out this haggis stuff !!
..........

sure you will, Peter....... just keep stuffing the piggy bank with notes........:-)

Thanks for the support in "All Things Grass" mate

Peter

I believe you visited my Portraits: Live albums yesterday. Any response? I get mixed reviews from too blurry to great action. As a photographer, where does your response fall?

I too enjoy a relationship with Jesus. You might like to read my journals I've posted on fotki.

My wife and I have been married for 37 years and enjoy our five kids-now-adults.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

John

Gidday John,

I visited your site initially to see who was commenting on all the old posts in the Critique Me forum. You're far better off just commenting on the recent posts because many of the authors to those older posts have moved on & won't respond to your comments. Good to hear you're a brother.

Hey Peter,
Just wanted to stop by and let you know I added a few car related albums yesterday. I think I have about 7 car related albums in my 2009 folder. Went to this years Formula Drift again this weekend, thanks to Scion. They allow about 200 Scion owners and 1 guest each, to attend the Drift event for free and also hold a car show , giveaway and feed them lunch. Its great fun.

Talk to you later
Have a great day
Brenda

Hi Peter
Just stopping by to say hello. I'm still alive. Been going nuts with all the court ordered doctors appointments, but I'm hanging in there. Hope you are doing well.

ooO Pete, thanks your expressed appreciation for the magic cave which (just saw it) made its magic way in the DA contest beating even your beautifully edited grandfather's teahut :-)))
