February Countdown Thread February Countdown Thread Welcome to the February Countdown Thread Wow! We had three of our Countdown entries make it to GOLD last month. Congratulations!!! Although we would all like to go gold I know that most of the times our own personal favorite photos never make the BP cut. That doesn't mean that your favorite photo isn't one to be treasured. Here is the place to share one or two of your favorite photos from last month. There are so many fabulous photo posted on BP. So many very inspiring works of time and talent. I like this thread because its purpose is for each of us to show case your individual photo that you believe is your best or that you feel is most representative of your inner self. So... let's see your personal best! *If you are a regular here you know what to do. **If you are new to this thread, take some time to read our helpful hints below and join in the fun. *** If you found yourself here because you are lost.... Hmmm.., Don't worry, this is not the Hotel California, you can escape! Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process: 1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your reply here. a. Jot down the PhotoID # of the photo you wish to share. To determine your PhotoID, go to the little Pancakes icon, then click “My Photos”, then “Manage/Enter.” The PhotoID is right below the number. b. Go to the Countdown Contest thread. Click “Respond” at the bottom of the page. c. Type in whatever you wish; e.g., “Here’s my Fav image for the month.” d. Click the “Select” button below the text input box, and select “1.” Toggle on “Notify” box if you wish to be notified. Click “Submit.” e. The Image Uploader appears. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an input box for the PhotoID (from step 1a). Type it in then click “submit your photo.” Then, return to the forum thread and you’ll see your photo. 2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery. 3) If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help nudge BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate... which may one day be deleted. Errick

Two favorites from my February... I spent a few evenings exploring lighting some glass objects in a dark box enclosure. Really liked the green vase result. Also shot some "atmosphere" images on a super foggy/misty February afternoon, and liked the feel of the white-out effect.

I had kind of a "mehh" month. I'll go with these two. The bat was a delight to watch - you should have seen it spitting out watermelon seeds as it ate! And I refuse to give up on my repurposed bus details - I think it's the colors that I like so much. Good luck to all.

Chris I am a big fan of your "Ode to a Venetian Urn" and think it will do well in the contest. I like how the counter top anchors the glass. Good luck!

Not necessarily, Nikki. There has been instances when I got a winner when there was no jackpots and many instances when there is a jackpot but no Winner. So hang tight...your froggy is a sure winner, IMHO. Good luck.

I asked about the Jackpots in another thread and was told it has to do with the number of loves. I don't know, really.

I thought it was more like the latest iteration of the old Judges' Comments. And when we had Judges' Comments, I never thought getting a comment necessarily equated with going on to winner because there were several judges and none of them had time to comment on every image they liked and even if they did, it wasn't necessarily enough to have one judge like an image for it to go on. But now that it's pretty much only Jim . . . at least I think that's the case . . . I thought he released jackpots whenever an image tripped his trigger. So getting one did NOT necessarily mean the image would get a win, but not getting one pretty much signaled that it would not go on. No biggie.
