January 2011 Countdown Thread

And, not sure about the rest of the world, but it's downright chilly down here in Texas. It's not supposed to be like this. I just know I moved South for a reason!!!

I can't wait to see your choices!

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!!!

	The Way Up Three exposure combination, looking up the parclose stairs from crypt level to nave, Washington National Cathedral. I've long wanted to capture the broad spiral of the Yellin wrought iron handrail, in combination with the stairs and vaulting. After many unsuccessful attempts with regular lenses over the years, it was the 10-22 wide angle lens which allowed me to compose what I'd envisioned. Thank you to the BP community for such enthusiastic support of this image!
