Somehow my photo floated to the top of many terrific entries in Greg's "Snow" challenge. Therefore, it's my honor to carry the baton through the next challenge. So let's get started.
For this week's challenge I want you to show us "Something Old." However, it must be man made. Since 'old' is somewhat subjective I'll leave it up to you to decide on your subject's qualification. It doesn't have to look old, just be old. (I'll post some examples of what I'm looking for so you'll get the picture.
)
This topic is independent of geographical location or season, so I'm sure everybody will be able to find something to share. Any related info about the photo is always welcome, so enlighten us.
In keeping with previous challenges, this will run for a week and will end at 7pm January 26th 2010, Mountain Standard Time, US. (0200 GMT)
We're all looking forward to your images! You may post up to three for consideration...
The standard Minichallenge rules:
The host gives you a topic of interest and you get going. You post your image(s).
The host chooses the winner. The decision of the judge (the host) is final. The judge is not eligible. The winner then chooses the next topic, judges the winner, and passes on the baton to that person.
Any picture you've taken is eligible regardless of time taken and camera.
You can do all the post processing you want. However, it is most helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo.
Feel free to comment on other contestant’s images. If you want someone to leave you a piece of constructive criticism, put an asterisk next to the title of the image.
Here are some posting guidelines:
When posting your picture, change the Subject of your post to display your picture titles. This way, when someone comments (i.e. replies), it will refer specifically to you. If all entries read "Re: Mini Challenge xxx"... it would be very boring to scan the list.
Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
And how do you embed a picture? I'm glad you asked:
1. While your photo on Flickr (or any other web site) is open, copy the URL address from the address box on your tool bar, and then paste it into your reply thread. Add a .jpg extension to get the photo to show up. Click on preview to make sure it's what you want.
Or
2. Right click on the image in Flickr (or where ever you've hosted it), click on "Properties"..., highlight the link with the .jpg extension on it, and paste it into your message text. Provide any additional information you want.
You may enter up to 3 pictures, but try to put them within a single post. Please give a title to each photo - this makes it easier to differentiate when giving comments.
Please size your photo no bigger than around 1200 pixels on the longest dimension. This is to let those with smaller monitors to see your image at full resolution.
Please limit the size of your entries to conserve bandwidth.
As a show of courtesy, and to save bandwidth, please remove the original post when replying, so you don't bring back any previous photos.
