4. A well fought contest - Congratulations to

the top 3 and all participants. Outstanding beauty in the winners. It makes me happy to have the contests and folks stepping up and showing their work.

Thanks Dyedinthewoolliberal for hosting the contest and even thinking it's easy.
I'm impressed.

5. Thanks everyone....

I will make every effort to run the Winter contest just as well Dyedinthewoolliberal ran this one. I will probably need some HELP. This was a great contest - mth44sc and ohheckyeah really beautiful photos. Everybody who entered did a great job - now onto Winter.

6. A seasonal is a little more laid back for the host

we used to even have co-hosts for the Seasonals, where the hosts could enter, but had to back away and leave it to the other one should they be in "danger" of winning.
I think that's how I remember it.

Anyway, if you want and need to, call on me to help.
I'm around for the next couple of months.

[Johnny Noshoes]

7. Thanks Mira

9. Applause for all who entered!

Such gorgeous choices in the submissions.
A cheerful contrast to the drabness that is now outside my window.

13. Thank you. Mine was an older photo

from film. Unfortunately, when the contest started, fall was gone here so I couldn't get something new.

[Johnny Noshoes]

15. It has that really nice film quality.

It may be "old school" but film still has that nice warm feel to it.

[ohheckyeah]

17. I don't miss color film photography

but I do miss black and white. I liked developing my own film and printing them in the dark room.

[Johnny Noshoes]

19. I remember the first time...

I remember the first time I saw a print come up in the developer it was cool. I ruined a few t shirts with dektol stains. I was never really good at making prints. I could do a straight print but never got the hang of dodging and burning. That's what I like about digital. It still is a matter of the photographer's skill and talent to get the image in camera but the software for digital darkroom work is great.

[ohheckyeah]

20. It is great....

while I sometimes miss the darkroom, I don't miss hours of dodging and burning to get a photo the way I want it.

We have a lot of talent!

16. Miss Sarah was not pleased

that i wanted to finish no better than 2nd. CC kept that bit of advise from me back in the day.

Congrats to Johnny NoShoes and ohheckyeah - those two are absolute beauties that way more carried the theme! And thanks to Dyedinthewoolliberal for taking care of business. Miss Sarah has already chosen which pic I should enter in the Winter contest. Oh my...

[CC]

18. Congrats Johnny NoShoes

and all the winners/entries.



YW for what little help I gave but it was really all you Dyedinthewoolliberal. You did a great job and sorry to of just dropped the whole thing in your lap without warning. Lesson learned, chase down winners and remind them the true cost of greatness in our little corner of the web sooner rather than at the last minute.
