lol...don't worry, I hardly ever get more then 2-3 votes (one of which is normally mine ). But its always exciting when at least one other person also liked you photo...and its always fun to compete. One day we will get that "just right" photo!

Yes I did. I did note that the site was having some "s l o w" problems, but it should have gone through.

Yep.

Great selection this month! Is it just me or do the last two photos... it looks like the cars are sliding off the road! I coulda on the road I was on, the fine silt mud on a sweeper dip was fun.

My cliche' entry "Road NOT Traveled".

Once a month.

I only found out about this when I clicked through on the front page pic once, I hadn't looked in this forum yet. I like photo contests, my problem with photography is never knowing what to shoot, this gives me something to do. This month I did 4 shoots, specifically to get my picture, I repeated one location 3 times, including getting up before 8am (???) in the hope of getting the right light.

That's cool.... I'll just watch for now.

I'm still using a Polaroid camera... .you know the one... .the one you pull the film out, place it in the foldable metal plate and place it under your arm to keep it warm.



Seriously, there are some cool pics on here... love to check them out.
