Disqualified in the photo contest

In summary, someone else took the photo you wanted to enter in the You're So Cold contest, you've already submitted one but have others that fit the theme you want to share, or you've previously touched up the photos with some editing software.

I missed the deadline on the "Hills Are Alive" contest for this shot...it was taken in New Zealand. That is Mt. Cook in the background.

New Hampshire's White Mountains were at peak this week. Too late for the Autum contest, but not to late for this thread. :smile:
-GeoMike-
Great shots! We had a weird combination of droughts/deluges, and sunny/overcast conditions that conspired to give us one of the brownest, crappiest foliage seasons in years. We're not that far from NH, but the local weather is the major determinant and we got stiffed this year. you know, since you live in the state, but we usually have really spectacular colors in Somerset county by the end of September, and this year, you might as well have stayed home. It was nice riding the Harley, though with few leaf-peepers to contend with.

Autumn Photos

The leaves here are just hitting their peak. I wish I had this shot for the Autumn thread. I took this today at Bald River Falls in Cherokee National Forest.

:cry: I had to withdraw this one from the Pretty in Pink contest currently running. I had to photoshop out a face, and was hoping that would be acceptable, but it wasn't. :frown:

Note how well the shirts match, and that the wall color is also pink. It was a very pink picture. :rolleyes:

This was disqualified from "Pretty in Pink", since, for one, I didn't take it:

It does live up to the theme, though. Sort of. At least the pink part is present.

Here are more pictures from our neighborhood Halloween Parade that didn't make it into the Halloween picture contest:

They also had a pet section, and kids section, that compete separately.

Most of the superheroes were there. Where were you?

This is the outside of that bush. It looks like I was messing with the color balance, but that's actually what it looks like. It's about eight feet tall:

I like the skiing accident one. :rofl: But I bet that was a really annoying costume when it came time to use the restroom! That's so cool that you have a neighborhood Halloween parade. I miss the little school parades. Of course, adult costumes can be even more interesting...like that Indian who looks a bit chilly!

Sea Lion Caves Pics

Looking North, you can see the Hecata Head lighthouse in the background.

Looking South, Note that long stretch of beach which disappears into the fog bank. This is typical of the Oregon coastline. Rugged headlands separated by miles of beautiful sand beaches. The reason they are completely empty is the 60F water and the unrelenting wind.

I've seen nothing in this world. Sad.

These pictures make me sad.

We have the Niarage Gorge though, which is nice! That's about it. Never seen a mountain in my life or the ocean.

Jason,
I have found that every region has its unique beauty. First appreciate what is local for you, but plan to travel and see other regions. You are young and have a lot of time to see the world.

No reason to be sad about it. It just gives you something to look forward to doing later when you have your degree, and a good job, and a real paycheck and actual vacation time to enjoy seeing all the things you haven't seen yet. :smile:

Oh yeah, I'm totally aware of that.

I live 20 minutes away from the Niagara Falls where I eat in a beautiful Casino that has a marvelous view. Amazing.

The city of Niagara Falls is more beautiful than ever. The changes that have happened in just the past 6 years are tremendous. I hope Casino Niagara decides to become more competitive against the Fallsview Casino. That will bring lots of money and then everything just gets nicer.

Here's a "disqualified" lighthouse pic. Mainly because it is not a photo, but a 3D rendering of a lighthouse I did years ago.

Every place has something nice to see or visit. I would love to visit the Mohave, if only for the very dry clear air in the night-time. Here in Maine, we have the mountains in the west, and the coast, of course, but some of the treasures are little places tucked off in the woods, like Gulf Hagas, Moxie Falls, Houston Brook Falls (a nice warm brook, and the falls have nice rounded pools under them where you can sit and get pounded with the water) and Cold Stream Pond (really WILD brook trout that fight like crazy). One summer, I canoed the St John River with a friend (chief of the Maine warden service) and spent several days in pretty wild country, pulling in every evening to set up camp, fishing for our supper, etc. There are rolling hills in the farm country to the east in the interior, and quaint little villages with one old general store. The great thing about Maine, in my opinion, is that is hasn't been Wal-Marted to death (yet).

One of my favorite Maine attractions is the Liberty tool company. If you love tools, especially old ones, you'll love this place.

Explore your area and learn your way around. You'll find more great places than you've ever imagined. You say you've never seen the ocean, but believe me, one look won't satisfy you even if you do get to see the ocean. It doesn't matter if you're photographing lighthouses, exploring the animal life in tidal pools, looking for shells or beach-glass, or sitting on a cliff hoping to see a pod of whales or some seals - every location and every activity brings new experiences every day. Eventually, you build up a host of experiences that all seem to tie together in some way, but it's not something you cross off a to-do list, like "have sex with a double-jointed supermodel and her twin sister".

Here is a picture that has precisely nothing to do with any of the contests, but I thought was very cool.

It's a picture along a very long mirror glass wall. The white thing you see coming up from the bottom of the photo is a narrow concrete curb that runs all the way to the other wall, but the heat from the window is causing a mirage that hides the curb halfway down.

A motion picture would have been better. It danced like a candle flame.

The green thing at the end is a garden hose.

Zapper hasn't had a Bigfoot pictures theme yet and I'm tired of waiting. This was taken while trying to find Zooby during his downtime.

Hmmm. You were tracking the wrong bigfoot. Those prints clearly belong to some zoobie from the wrong side of the tracks who can't even afford a shoe.

And the reason this year's tree isn't going to be in the photo contest...

That snowman was an ornament for the tree, but has now been claimed as one of many new toys that Ember thinks Santa left hanging on the tree for her. :rolleyes:

That's a great pic moonbear, I had a cat at home that used to like to bat at my mom's glass icicle decorations...she was not pleased.

Here's another shot of the tree I entered with different lighting. I'm only posting it here to see how many can find what's wrong in this picture.:confused:

About the We-built-that-city thread. So when we were visiting the London resident daughter the other week and we did London eye when I had the good fortune to a dramatic lightning snapshot that I finally selected instead of this one.

But unfortunately the contest was not about Salvador Dali elephants, stepping over Big Bens.

But then again perhaps Dali elephants did build London.

I don't remember which contest I could have enter these but anyway I did not take those.

The fall picture is from the fundy national park in new-brunswick and the second one is on the road the the park when coming from St-John, NB. At high tide, the cave is filled with water.

Shipped out from the New Year photo contest ...

Gokul43201 said:
Okay, here goes! I predict this picture survives 7 minutes before it is scratched out by the twin lightning bolts of the mighty Zz ... but what the heck; I like to tell a story!

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3293/img2086qt0.jpg [Broken]

This is one of our instrument banks that let's us measure momentum transfer rates between electrons living in a pair of quantum wells. Since "momentum transfer rate" is just a fancy term for 'force', and since Bia is the Greek Goddess of force, I've always wanted to name this bank the Super Bia. The reason I haven't overtly done this, is out of concern that it may offend the sensibilities of any christians around here - "super Bia" sounds and looks a lot like superbia, which, as you all no doubt know, is the Latin word for 'hubris', the last and deadliest of the Seven Deadly Sins!

...tick tock tick tock...

PS: Just made up the above story a couple minutes ago, so when I said "always wanted", that may be a wee bit of an overstatement. Other details, however, are full of truthiness! :biggrin:

...tick tock tick...
