You must upload photos to the monthly photo contest gallery in order to be entered.

Hmmm, this is seemingly obvious at first, but the broadness of the topic leaves a lot of room for creative shooting. This should be one I can participate in for a change.

Amen to that! Great Topic!
I'm gonna have to dust off my camera and get back in the game. I just spent Jan & Feb recovering from a tonsillectomy! This is a good reason to charge up the 'ol batteries. This month should have plenty of entries~

OH NO!!! No artificial lighting! Haha, this should be fun. I'll have to keep my "light" bag in the car for this one.

I wouldn't worry - you have a great sense of how to use light, whether it comes from the sun or out of your "light" bag. The sun is rather less portable, that's all.

Maaaaaaaan! I completely forgot to enter my picture this month. I even went out a few times to get some to choose from (including earlier this morning). GRRRRRR

I will see if I can enter one I have on my photobucket account since I am away from my laptop right now.

I wasn't particularly inspired by the topic, natural light is more of an techique than a subject. I also wasn't feeling well this weekend, so I never got to take a picture. However, entries are still open and I'd just taken a photo I thought could fit, so I submitted it, even though its supposedly closed.

Ah - but surely the challenge is to make it the subject?!
