SDMB Monthly Photo Competition - rolling discussion thread

I’ll add my congrats to those of @Dung_Beetle – it is a superb photo and very deserving of the win. :slight_smile:

For a category that I at first thought would be difficult to fulfil, there were some great varied entries. Well done everyone, and congratulations to Twoflower.

And I got fifth equal! Best I’ve managed yet. Very pleased with myself.

I also have a few possibles for Stone so I’m rearing to go.

He was my top vote, too. His photo simultaneously actually is very hot, and makes it look very hot.

Yeah, well…everybody must get stoned!

Our September “Stone” thread is now rolling.

Here’s hoping it gathers no moss.

mmm

You didn’t include the usual instructions for using ImgBB. Maybe you could add a post for that.

ShadowFacts’ entry in the current (Stone) monthly photo thread isn’t loading for me. Anyone else?

For me, it’s one of the few that’s loading quickly. All of the ibb images are super-slow.

Loads fine for me.

Thanks for checking, everyone! I started using postimages recently because ibb was giving me fits every month I tried to post here. It’s been working great for me, but apparently not for everyone.

Something isn’t working for me…I followed the instructions posted by Mean_Mr.Mustard for linking to an ImgBB photo, but it shows a link instead of the image. What did I do wrong?

Nevermind; I got it to work. Unfortunately, I can’t delete my post with URL.

I thought about using this one, taken in the Meteora region of Greece, but I decided the stone in the Uluru photo was more front and center.

Imgur

What did you do differently between the two posts?

As near as I can tell…nothing. Weirdly, the image that posted seems to be a lower resolution than the one that’s just the link.

@Aspenglow, where’s your photo taken? That’s really an interesting photo.

The rules for the monthly contest require that we not discuss photos until after the contest is concluded, but I promise to get back to you at the end of the month. :slight_smile:

You are a good citizen.

mmm

September Stone poll is rockin’.

mmm

Congratulations to @Twoflower, our September winner! This is Twoflower’s second win and, lookie here, back-to-back wins as well!

Twoflower, please let us know our October theme.
