Hey everyone in the Photography Group, want to have a contest?

[Longgrain]

Just for fun and to maybe get more people interested. There's a lot of great work on the Photography board and I'm afraid not too many people make it down there to take a take a look at it.

I was thinking we could all submit a photo of our own. Since I'll be around on Christmas eve I could post it as a poll in the Lounge and let the others get a chance to see it.

If enough people are interested, maybe I'll put up an official sign up sheet down in the Photo Group either tonight or tomorrow.

It will be just for fun, no prizes, no real winners or losers, just a friendly game. (Of course the winner will get bragging rights ;) )

Anybody in?

2. I did not even know there was a photography group

:shrug: I am slow.

Sounds like a fun idea.

[Longgrain]

3. Exactly my point in starting the contest....

To sort of drum up awareness for the group ;) .

6. Please show me where it is

slow shutter speed here.

7. Go to "DU groups" in on the menu page

Under forum categories, it should be the last one...you'll then be given a list of groups. It's alphabetical so Photography should be easy to find.

14. Right now it's just a small clique

But thanks to Longgrain, the photography group is taking off. You don't even have to be a photographer to check it out. All you have to do is appreciate good photographs.
But yes, longgrain, as a member of the photo group, I'm more than happy to participate in the contest. Because I'm leaving the country on Thursday to go to Colombia for the holidays, I guess I'll find a picture to submit from my old files, instead of going out to take a new one.
After all, I still need to pack and buy xmas gifts for the family down in Coloombia.

[Longgrain]

15. Thank you Miami

Keep on Raging!!!

And you know I loved your photos...

I hope you'll take an interest in this little contest idea of mine...It's all for fun.

One big
