SDMB Monthly Photo Competition - rolling discussion thread

The first post @Karen_Lingel linked to details the extent of the prizes on offer. :wink:

That’s cool. Did you do that, @Karen_Lingel? If so, thank you! :grinning:

Not me, I believe the links are automatically generated by Discourse when you link this thread in the contest threads.

Ah, gotcha. Handy feature I didn’t know about.

As usual, there were a bunch of great photos this month and I’m very honored to be a co-winner! I look forward to these competitions every month and I am excited to see what we all post in the future. There are a lot of wonderfully talented photographers here. :camera:

We have agreed on the category “Reflections”. Vague enough to attract a variety of shots, I think.

Suggestion: In January, 2024 have a “best of 2023” contest that includes each monthly winner (include the first contest, held in December 2022 in this one).

Maybe this has already been discussed?

mmm

Love your optimism about how long TwoCarrot’s patience with our dumbasses will last.

Cool choice! I’ll set up the thread at some point this evening.

It’s a fun idea. It would be more than 12 photos, of course, since we’ve already had two ties (one of them a five-way). I guess the question would be how it would work. Setting up a poll would be easy enough, but if we want all the pics in one place the winners would have to re-submit them to a new thread. Or we could do links to the specific post in agh thread I guess.

:grinning:

To be fair, I’m really enjoying it so far.

Roger that.

Would the “best of” thread be in place of the usual monthly contest, or in addition to it? The former would mean there would be no contest for everyone else to participate in that month.

It would have to be “as well as” for exactly that reason.

The new competition thread is up. Happy snapping!

Am I the only one who cannot see pictures posted using imgur?

I can see most of the ones hosted on imgur, but @Lancia’s entry shows up as a link rather than an embedded image.

I think it’s perhaps the security settings on my laptop. If I cannot see all the images I will refrain from voting.

FWIW, I can see all the pictures with no issues.

I can’t see imgur pictures from my work computer, but I can from my home computer.

Those who can’t see the image, which browser are you using?

I’ve had that experience before. It’s not uncommon for photo sharing sites to be blocked by company firewalls.

But anyway, I didn’t think this picture was good enough to use as my entry, but it fits the theme – Sydney Harbor reflected in the Opera House.
