Errors, Slips, And Blunders: F/Stop Follies

Challenge #28 in the The Revolver series. Hosted by Digital Alfredo, The Bacon Wagoneer.

Challenge has finished

Sometimes you just have to guess at how big or how small your aperture should be when you release the shutter... and occasionally, you get that completely wrong. Or, you trust the camera to pick the right amount, and it abysmally miscalculates. Either way, you end up with a photo that's over exposed... or one that's too dark to fix with a little fill light in PP.

Hey manipulator. My name is Charlie i was in the 5th place and the 4th place is my friend Edson. We are living in the same community. Now prove it that we are the same person. if not then shut up! http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10150352278311132&set=t.100000435151295&type=3&theater. This is the link that will prove to you that myself , edson, and ryan are not the same person that you're thinking. edson is wearing red shirt, i'm in the middle, and ryan is on the left. And shame on you Paulo for accusing us. Have a nice day.

All evidence that you are lying is in this thread:

It is really amazing that, even after all of what you've done, you still have the nerve to insult others.

If a submission dissapears from the challenge does that mean it was DQ?
I am new to the challenges and learning the process.
