You can still enter if you don’t have a blog. Just send a comment with the photos URL, and make sure you write something about it. You can use flickr, deviant art, ext…
***END EDIT***
Those of you that know me know I love photography. It is a passion of mine to say the least, and after that… no comment.
Well I want to do a photo contest, and I want all of you to do it with me as well. Please invite all of your friends. I want this to be an ongoing thing. THERE IS A PRIZE!!! SEE BELOW. I will also submit a photo, but I am NOT in the competition. Jess and Al can totally submit as well, but Jess cannot win since she is voting this week. I am still working on all the logistics of this, but next week I will have the official rules. I will also figure out who is judging. I am planning on having more than just me. This week Jess and I are the judges.
THIS WEEKS THEME: SOMETHING IN NATURE
PRIZE: $10 Gift Card to your place of choice. (note from jess: i have to be able to buy it online.)
SUBMIT: ALL ENTRIES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED BEFORE SATURDAY AUGUST 30TH AT MIDNIGHT (mountain daylight time). I’ll post my favorites for view on Monday. Jess and I will also select a winner.
RULES
1. Take a NEW photo. Do not submit something you have already taken. Yes I should be able to tell in the meta data. Yes I can check that. Unless noted otherwise I want NEW photos.
2. Take the photo yourself. If you don’t take the photo then you shouldn’t submit it. If you put your camera on a tripod and just have someone push the button then it is ok. If you have them hold the camera it is NOT ok.
3. Post your photo on your blog and mention the contest. Invite others to join and give them our URL. The more the better!
4. Put a link in our comments. This link should have the post’s URL and not just your blog’s URL. By commenting you are giving me permission to post your photo on my blog with your link. I might possibly even critique your photo. Bonus for you.
5. Cross your fingers and hope you are chosen to be the winner!
Stumble it!

Just for you, I’ll go get naturey…
Okay, Bridge. Here ya go. The image on dA has the EXIF removed, but if you need the information, I can send you a JPG or even the raw (CR2). I took the photo today.
