Joe's Secondary Challenge

I had lots of fun with this! Glad I could enter this challenge. Thanks!

Artistic Endeavor

Life in the Fast Lane

Chicago

And the winner is.....

Earl Pitman congratulations Earl.

Earl chose the theme for August and I think he chose well, this will be a challenging and fun theme. So get off the sofa and go out and shoot "Life in the Fast Lane". Yep the theme is
Life in the Fast Lane.

Also for the month of August I am giving another challenge for this new challenge the rules are simple. Using the theme Life in the Fast Lane create a photographic piece of art. Here are the simple rules: 1. The piece must start out as one or more photographs that you took with your camera between the 1st and the 20th of August 2. You can use photoshop or any other program you may own to create your piece 3. You must create the piece yourself. There are the simple rules this challenge is designed to allow you to show your artistic talents not just your ability to take great images. (Yes Joe, you can enter this challenge)

So 2 challenges this month both with the same theme Life in the Fast Lane. So all you slackers who have been neglecting the challenge get out of the slow lane and show us your rendition of
Life in the Fast Lane.

Joe's Photo

I know we are really supposed to email photoman our pics and then he will post them but I cant seem to remember or find that email address. I'm probably looking at it right now or something but any way here is my post. Not my favorite to say the least but its something I guess.

Uploading Images

I didn't receive any images from others to be uploaded this month. If you are trying to upload and are having trouble you can still email them to me, if they are a day or so late I will allow them. I am also available if you have questions about uploading.

Red White & Blue Church Garden

I didn't shoot this image specifically for the challenge but while I was looking at the images that I did shoot I came across this one. I liked it better than any that I had set out to shoot so I am submitting it.

Next Months Challenge

Well the judging has not quite been completed for this months challenge so I cannot call a winner yet, but I wanted to go ahead and let everyone know what next months challenge is. I also want to remind everyone to look at the new judging format and to take part in judging Junes challenge. As a result of not having a clear winner for July I am once again going to choose the next theme. July's theme is "Red White and Blue" .

Enjoy shooting, Photoman

Once again the Judges have dropped the ball.

O.K. I guess the judges have dropped the ball on us again, I made them aware that it was time to judge and they still neglected to make time to judge the images. I guess it is time to come up with a new judging system. So I have decided that starting now we will no longer rely on judges but will be self judged. I was hoping to have more photographers before we started self judging but I think we will have to give it a shot starting now. Here is how it will work. Each photographer can vote once and cannot vote for themselves. So after all of the images have been uploaded then the voting will start. We will maintain the same deadlines for uploading by midnight the 20th and the judging will start on the 22nd. That way if there are any late submissions due to electronic hiccups then I have 24 hours to get them uploaded. Starting next month each of you will be responsible for uploading your image, if you have questions as to how this is done feel free to call or email me. To vote just leave a comment for the image you like best, just type "vote" in the comment for the image you like. Votes cannot be left as anonymous, all anonymous votes will be deleted. All photographers may vote even if you do not submit an image you may still vote but your name must appear next to your vote. O.K. there are the voting guidelines lets see how this works for us. If you have read this then lets try it out for this months challenge. I will add the name of the photographers to the images that were submitted this month so you will know that I did not vote for myself.

Judges,

I am allowing this image to be in the challenge even though it is late, due to a computer error. Please judge it also.

A note to the judges,

Please feel free to leave feedback on this photo, however Joe is only doing the challenge for fun as he currently does not have the correct type of camera required for the challenge. I would also like to welcome Joe to the Challenge, I am glad that he has joined and I look forward to seeing his images each month.

I had a lot of fun with doors and doorways. Hope you all did too!
