SDMB Monthly Photo Competition - rolling discussion thread

I’m so bowled over by the photos there that I’m not gonna try. (Admittedly, I don’t really want to go mucking with a third-party photo host, and probably wasn’t going to anyway, but this is another reason not to.)

This is my feeling, too. I know when I’m beat. :wink:

Please don’t feel that way, the more the merrier. It’s not really a competition, more like a jam session.

Absolutely this.

I don’t have the slightest exception of actually winning, but it did make me feel warm & fuzzy to get some votes in the first round. And it’s fun to play along.

Totally. I’ve enjoyed every single photo posted.

mmm

I do not believe I got any votes the first round, but if I had a pic that fit the theme, I’d still do it. For funzies!

I got 0 votes but that’s ok. :grinning: It didn’t stop me from posting one for this month. I love taking photos and looking at them. There’s no downside to joining in for the fun of it.

Yeah, I think I got 0 as well. So what? It’s all fun.

I do think this months subject is a bit of a challenge, because you can’t just go out and look for some interesting sky to photograph - you need something good to turn up. So in the end I (reluctantly) used an archive photo (as my shots this week of aircraft landing over me at Gatwick really weren’t that interesting in the end).

I enjoy it too.
I’m still deciding what to post this month but it’ll be in the clouds theme.

God of thunder what a catch! Freaky!

Yours has me intrigued: either you were on a motorcycle or that is the cleanest windscreen ever.

And that’s it for competition #2 :grinning:

Guess which organiser forgot to submit a photo to his own competition?

Polls are open, folks - you’ll find them in the competition thread itself. As per the last one, you get three votes total. There are two polls, because there’s a maximum number of 20 entries per poll. Please only vote three times in total. :slight_smile:

Man, that was difficult. My mechanics of voting start with paring down to a shortlist. Even being as harsh as I could, I still had nearly half the photos on the shortlist.

Crazy.

I know! There were so many great photos, I almost gave up on voting because I didn’t want to leave out any. Well done, dopers.

I’ve had a PM from someone saying they had trouble voting. Anyone else had problems?

No problems voting for me.

The only problem I had was picking which three.

The actual voting went smoothly for me. Like @Galactus, the difficulty was in winnowing it down to three!
