It has been a really impressive turnout thus far. 64 images have
already been submitted to the challenge, and we've only been open
for just over 4 days! We will be accepting entries until end of
day June 9 (GMT) so if you haven't had a chance to submit yours
yet, don't worry as there is still plenty of time to get in on the
action.
Maximum number of photos that you can submit is 3.
If you've already submitted 3 and would like to replace 1 or more
of your entries, you may do so at your leisure. Please take care
not to remove anyone elses' photo by mistake, as there is no UNDO
on smugmug. If you need help, ask me, and I will gladly assist you.
Even if you are not interested in joining the challenge this time
around, please visit our challenge gallery and see what the D70 is
capable of:

I know that the challengers would all appreciate any comments you
may have for them concerning their wonderful photos, so please feel
free to post your remarks to the gallery by clicking ADD COMMENT
when viewing a particular photo. (Comments can be anonymous)

D70 Challenge #5 – Transportation
Transportation; U.K. term: transport (noun) - A means of traveling,
or carrying people or goods, from one place to another.
Your challenge is to convey the essence of transportation however
you see fit. How do you (or others) get from place to place? Do you
fly around all day in a hot air balloon (I wish...sigh)? Perhaps
you paddle to work in a sea kayak? Or taxi around in a Chinese
rickshaw? Ever take a ride on a Jeepney? Whatever it may be, let's
see it. You can submit up to 3 pictures for this challenge. I ask
that you try to submit at least one photo that you feel strongly,
or perhaps even uniquely, represents transportation in your neck of
the woods. For example, I live in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, home
of my nation's oldest subway system. I might submit a shot of a
trolley car, or the tracks, or an interesting candid in my favorite
underground train station… you get the idea.
I decided to change the rules a little bit here. We're going to
extend the submission period to about 2 weeks, to give you all
plenty of time to get your shots in. You can submit any picture
you've taken with your D70. It is not necessary that the picture be
taken during the 2 weeks of the challenge. That is up to you.
After the entry period is up, we will have about 5 days dedicated
to voting and commenting. Voting details will be forthcoming in
this same thread.
Those who have never submitted a photo to a prior D70 challenge, it
is REALLY EASY, so please read on:
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PHOTO IN 10 EASY STEPS*

Mini-Challenge #5
6. Once inside the gallery, click on the button that says "Add
Photo", near the top of the screen.
7. Smugmug offers 5 different ways to upload an image. Choose one
of them and send your photo so smugmug.
8. Once your photo has been uploaded, find it within the gallery
and click on it.
9. Below your photo, you will find a dropdown combo box that says
"PHOTO TOOLS". Click on this and select "Edit Caption (Single)"
10. When adding your caption, be sure to include your dpreview
UserID so we know who took the picture. Click UPDATE at the bottom
of the screen and you're done.
That's all there is to it. When you are all set, be sure to logout
of smugmug by clicking logout at the top of your screen. As an
optional step, if you want to leave a background comment along with
your image you can do so now.
Keep in mind that this is a site for all to use ONLY to post images
in the Challenge galleries. Please be respectful and careful of not
deleting images posted by others when the galleries are created.
After you have submitted an entry, please post a link to it within
this thread. Posting a link to the gallery @smugmug will encourage
viewers to leave comments within the gallery, rather than in this
thread, though they can certainly do both!
