Photography Question

October 2012 Countdown Thread


It's almost the middle of the month again. It's almost Thanksgiving here in the states. My kids are home all next week. I figured I should post this thread now, just in case the judges want to surprise us with early results so that they can focus on their holidays too. Of course, they might also decide to make us wait. The good news is, we should all have plenty to snack on while we wait!

Happy (almost) Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate the holiday!

Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, 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---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost.

Good luck everyone!!!

Here's one of my favorites - every time I go to see my Mom in Omaha, we visit the zoo because I want to see my favorite polar bear.

My niece enjoys a soda "cocktail" from the bar, after fulfilling her flower girl duties at my sister's wedding in Iceland this summer.
Thanks to my friends at BP for valuable editing advice and suggestions on this one!

One of the charming homes in the small, picturesque, former fishing village of Arnarstapi, in the northwest of Iceland.
The Atlantic ocean was about 40 yards behind me when making this exposure.

Ok, I probably say this every month, but looking back at Oct. entries, I'm having a super hard time picking just one. So I'm gonna go with 2 -- for now ;) My most "hopeful" is the image of my niece. I almost never photograph people, and was so happy with this candid capture. And one of my top favs from Oct., is the picture of the wood house in NW Iceland. Best of luck to everyone!
