Point and Shoot Contest #45: (Wo)Men at Work

Anton Magus · 08-21-2011, 12:10 PM

Have tried several times, and tried to re-load page, but always the same.

I use Firefox 4.0 from time to time - probably need an update

No problems with any other browser, so I guess I will just use Chrome, which is my default browser anyway.

This is what Bart's picture looks like.

I have upgraded to Firefox 6.0 and the problem has disappeared.
Everything shows 100% OK now.
Guess there was some glitch in FF4.0

Finally I have one fresh shot!

Finding someone at work in August, in France, is a bit of a challenge.

Let me introduce you a fellow techie, Fred, trying to iron out a problem.
Don't ask me what happened next

Bart · 08-23-2011, 12:11 PM

Looks tasty, samtr87

Printer problems, G.T? Printers and I certainly don't get along so I can relate.

Nice shots!

G.T · 08-23-2011, 12:18 PM

I hate this one. I had to replace the whole drive frame, possibly missed something, still doesn't work. I have to check this thoroughly tomorrow.
Else, in my personal life, I've *never*, never ever had a printer problem, excepted a broken ribbon on a dot matrix.

Lucky you

Eh, a broken ribbon on a dot matrix? You must be older than I thought

G.T · 08-23-2011, 12:46 PM

Nope. I was young and bought old, used devices. Then, in late '99 (or 2000?) I got hold of a brand new Deskjet. So I never had problems with printers :-)

Must not have been an Epson.

My first entry, posting them as i get them.

Hard At Work

1/4s F/3.4 ISO 800 from a Pentax Optio A40.

One thing I don't like about tiny P&S cameras is their lenses ghost and flare like crazy despite the multicoatings, but I think it kind of works here.

samtr87 · 08-24-2011, 11:20 AM

Construction worker finishing up on our new science building

Samsung Captivate

Bart · 08-24-2011, 12:17 PM

Works for me, Erik.
BTW, that approach to 'work' seems really universal

Interesting composition with the lines, samtr87.

ivoire · 08-25-2011, 11:27 AM

Like the new entries. Have been away for a bit shooting with a micro 43rds setup and then my K5 was returned, so the PnS has been idle for a few weeks.

G.T · 08-26-2011, 12:35 PM

Erik,

To me it does the job as well. You made the shot from behind a windscreen, right?

I might have another pic to submit, but it's pretty close from my first submission.

G.T · 08-28-2011, 08:23 AM

Yesterday I missed a wonderful shot : a cop hidden at the corner of a wall with a speedtrap. I had the camera on the pass seat.
Instead, second attempt: Friday I was on a training session with some coworkers.

As usual, Optio P80. And that's yet another printer shot.
