Congrats realrockhound - it's a beauty for sure! The color is so striking! Thank ya. It’s honestly so much nicer looking in person. It’s more of an aqua blue. The slab pic I posted it came from is a lil more true to color. I got a light box etc… and I’m not happy with how the photos are coming out. |

Congratulations everyone! We have 10 very nice entries. I missed the whole voting period but I really love that pink No.5. Already looking forward to this month's theme. Keep up the two-digit entries  |

Great cab realrockhound ! Almost looks like candy. So, you aren’t liking your new phone camera? I’m still limping along my iPhone 7, getting as much life as possible out if it. But, I know it isn’t long till I’ll have to give in. I keep thinking well at least I’ll have new photo technology… |

What I hate about the 14 is that when you take photos, it like automatically corrects the photo. Auto Adjusts lighting, saturation, etc.. if that makes sense. From where I stand, it makes the photos look cheap. I feel like some of my older entry photos looked much nicer. |

I had old Nikon e990 and e995 digital swivel bodies and used them for a very long time. I have since had Canons, a Nikon DSLR and a Galaxy 220. I instantly know what images were taken by those old Nikons. The pictures are superior in almost all respects. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough pixels to properly edit/crop or I would still be using them. I absolutely loved them.

Maybe on your camera app you can turn on that "RAW" option on the right top of the window: "Classic RAW formats like DNG (Digital Negative) capture all of the data from your camera's image sensor without compressing or processing any of it." The RAW photos are larger in file size but could also make post processing more flexible. |

I hardly ever take photos and when I do, it doesn’t bother me. Other than when I’m trying to take something nice that’s true to look for the contest. |

Congrats to Realrockhound. It was a well deserved win! Nothing to take away from the win as it's the one I voted for but I'm still a bit confused by some of the voting. I guess a lot of people are voting based mostly on material. I thought #1 looked like a perfectly cut cab and it got 1 vote. My Crazy Lace cab has some irregularities and got a few. That just surprises me on a forum with so many cab cutters.

Congrats realrockhound on the win (blowout) lol! Killer material and cut. It would have also made an excellent entry in the upcoming dendritic themed cab competition. |
