It's funny how many people ask me "but, didn't your bathroom become wet while she was splashing?" after they saw this picture. Well, yes, of course, we were just having too much fun wathching her have fun to stop her 🙂
I never even considered the possibility that the water might come from a shower head until pinkthunder asked. Then I saw that some of the water did look like it could come from a shower head, but I figured you probably wouldn't turn on the shower if half of the water would land outside the tub. 🙂

You're right about the water pipe. I tried rotating the picture so the pipe is vertical, but that doesn't work either, so I kept my original composition. I don't think I would be able to clone out the pipe myself, I'm not very good at that kind of processing, but I agree the picture would be better without it.

Let me know if you need a hand doing the original.

I'll stop my spamming after this message, I hope I didn't miss any questions about my entries, and I would have liked to be able to participate in the discussions about the topic, but I haven't been home much the last two weeks.
I hope the competitions continue too, I would certainly try to participate in them. This was, again, a very good round, with insight ...[text shortened]... nor modifications to entice more people to participate or to stimulate discussion?

With regards to the competition itself. I have been thinking of a few things that might help increase the voting and comments. Personally I think the simplest thing would be to have the voting widgets and comment space on the web page that we use to view the images. That way, even casual viewers could vote and comments could be added alongside the picture. Should be easy to do too.

I know. I have followed several discussions about cameras in a German aurora forum. There are even big differences between individual cameras that are supposedly the same. However, I don't think it's that much of a problem for aurora photography anymore. 15 seconds would be an extremely long exposure time for an aurora picture with a f1.8 lens, most of the times I use something between 4 and 8 seconds.
If you have an issue with a camera you bought in Japan you'll battle to get it fixed under warranty. The new Sony A700 is looking pretty good.

There are a few drawbacks to using an offsite system though. Will post more later.

I have to admit I'm impressed with that link though but think we'd probably need something far simpler.

The main problems are 1) wether people think it's a good idea and 2) hosting.

1. Do we require people to register, or do we allow anonymous voting? How do we police that?
2. How do we ensure that there is an active thread here?
