September 2013 "Theme" Contest (Nikon, hobby, d70, lens)
Please register to participate in our discussions with 2 million other members - it's free and quick! Some forums can only be seen by registered members. After you create your account, you'll be able to customize options and access all our 15,000 new posts/day with fewer ads.
Please read the appropriate DISCUSSION THREAD to be up to date before posting. You may post as many photographs in the discussion thread but the actual contest thread is limited to one photo.
The theme of the photo you enter in the "Theme" contest is determined by the winner of the last contest.
To be able to stay on a monthly schedule, the last day for submitting entry photographs will be five days before the end of the month, ie, if the month ends on the 30th then photos must be submitted no later than the 25th. If the month ends on the 31st then photos must be submitted no later than the 26th. Etc...
There are 30 days in September 2013, so, entries will end on September 25th, 2013.
The poll will be opened the day after the last day for submitting entry photographs.
Only users who have been registered on City-Data over 30 days and who have at least one valid post may enter the contest or vote on the contest. (Rule added Feb 3, 2012)
One photograph per contest
You must have been the person who took the photograph which is entered. (Rule added Apr 1, 2012)
All photographs must have been taken within 30 days of the date you submitted them.
Please add the title of your photo, and any information that you want to share. We do enjoy knowing. The title is needed/placed in the Poll.
You have 90 minutes to alter/edit your post. If you need help with the title or information, just DM me Poncho_NM and I will fix it for you.
Do not use the entry thread for discussions, until after a winner has been announced. There is a separate thread to be used for discussions.
If you have an suggestions, you may DM me Poncho_NM .
Thanks and good luck!

So the theme for the September 2013 Theme Contest is Back to School as described above.
Lets begin posting!

What about Bridges? Not just "regular" bridges, but ALL types of bridges. Stringed instruments have bridges, of course roads and paths have bridges, Music has bridges (not sure how you would photo that though...), there's the game of bridge, Dentistry. You get the idea. I don't believe we have done that yet, and it is more open ended than a person might think at first. Of course put in a note of what type bridge it is, a person might miss the "bridge" between social, age, belief groups in a photo of the more obscure types of bridge.
Thank you to everyone for voting for my effort. Let's get some more participation this month, and really have Poncho_NM have to earn the big bucks (LOL don't you wish!) in setting up the poll at the end.

Yep, more entries!
Contest Polls? If I am not interrupted or lose track of what I'm doing, I got that part down as a science:
Sep forgot to write down times...
Aug create contest polls 32 minutes
Jul create contest polls 33 minutes
It's a lot of other things which take time...
