30 DEC 04 REQUISITE WATER ON CD SHOT

I'm really proud of myself for NOT doing this earlier in the year

It's a definite "gimme" shot

It's very easy & available
It can be done with excellence with ANY camera
It's a guaranteed wower

And I didn't do it ONCE . . . until now
So I guess my shooting DID improve . . . about a micron
But it DID improve . . . and that was part of my go

Here's the setup http://www.pbase.com/coastalva/image/38076049

I'll likely continue on with PaD, but maybe not with as much commitment
I'm pleased I stayed with it the WHOLE year

one day to go . . . .
but I'll probably do New Years Day to make it a nice round 367 days (leap year, ya know ^_^)

a version of the CD without water is here

a sloppy one with fingerprints is here

You waited, but it sure turned out nice.

All of my friends are leaving PAD Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

You did good. I've never tried this myself.

You have to still hang around! Just don't feel you have to do one a day.
Adalberto Tiburzi31-Dec-2004 08:49
Kisses and hugs Pete, and... oh yes... WOW! ;-)

OH MY GOD!!!! Tomorrow is my last day and I didn't do a water on CD shot. Looks like I'll be banned from the club.

You know, that water on CD shot is not so easy if you don't know about the business section. I'm not sure who tipped you off but it is supposed to be that you have to figure that out when all else fails. I can't believe you had the patience to stick with it and figure that out on your own. I still don't undertand why it only works when you use the business section, do you? It really doesn't make any sense. I guess its just one of those things.

Nice one!

I didn't know this is a requisite shot, LOL! I checked your set-up pic and I went "Wow! That's it?"
petesie31-Dec-2004 04:29
We'll miss you too much, so please don't stop completely. I hope you have seen Robin's tribute....it is special!

See, Pbase went down just as I was trying to post my commnet, about 3 hours ago... and it was funny, but I can't remember it....
Something about why take a requisite photo -- like 2 months into the commitment when you've got another 10 months left. The message lost something in the wait.

Anyway, you won't leave the list, regardless of your frequency in posting. Thanks, Pete. I've laughed loud and often for the past year of your PaD.

A nice,if somewhat ubiquitous shot. (naa,naa,naa)
Stu31-Dec-2004 00:22
Well done, Pete. Don't be a stranger!
Robin Reid31-Dec-2004 00:11
Pete you've been an inspiration. And I'm so relieved you have gotten these "requisite" shots in the bag. Leaves you free to do whatever you want and whenever on PAD. Congrats on your year.
Leo Charette30-Dec-2004 23:57
Congrats Pete.... a magificent accomplishment and I'm glad that you will continue to post here from time to time. Since we live but a stone's throw away from each other, maybe our paths will cross sometime. Beautiful image and how to close your PAD year with style. - LC
