    Contest Photo
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a photo contest themed around snow, inviting participants to submit their own snow-related images. Contest rules specify that only original photos are allowed, with restrictions on editing and size. Participants express their challenges in capturing snow pictures due to unseasonably warm weather in various regions, leading to discussions about climate change and the impact on winter conditions. Some members share past snow photos, while others express frustration over the lack of snow in their areas. There are clarifications on submission guidelines, particularly regarding the interpretation of what constitutes an acceptable subject for the contest. The conversation highlights the community's enthusiasm for winter photography despite varying weather conditions and the impending contest deadline.

Just a reminder that you have less than 2 days left to submit a photo for this contest. With various parts of the world (especially the US) getting snow the last couple of days, I'm sure there are more opportunities now to snap a picture that qualifies for this contest.

Great! I don't use my camera every day, but I'd be uncomfortable without it. I hope you can replace most of the important stuff that was stolen.

Okay, we got some snow yesterday and overnight, so I was able to get a picture this morning before it all melted again. I can't even begin to compete with those who had pretty blankets of snow, because it just wouldn't stick enough to get my meetings canceled today.

This is of my neighbors. :biggrin:

Christmas Eve, 2004, Houston Texas. The "snowstorm of the century" (for South Texas, that is). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Christmas_Eve_Snowstorm"

[Edit: Thanks to mattmns, I edited your post to have your picture here. This will make less tedious for me when doing the polling thread]

DH, I can't figure out why your img tags aren't working. I thought you forgot to use them and went to edit them in for you, but see they are there. :confused: How odd.

After a slow start, this is going to be one hell of a contest. All the pictures so far are amazing!

One day left to enter, if you dare!

I will try to get a pic entered.

Keep in mind, people, that just because you get some snow pictures later after this contest, doesn't mean you won't be able to save them for a later contest. We WILL be recycling the themes eventually.

Can't you steal one?

Steal one? From whom; the cows? :biggrin:

Here is D H's picture

The reason it did not work is because you used the wrong link, you should just use the "Direct link."

[Edit: Thanks mattmns. I've used it in DH's post - Zz]

Snowed in at Sea-Tac.

It's because of this that I got into Newark at 3 AM this morning. :-P

Were you at the AAPT/AAS meeting?
I just left from there Tuesday night. My photo entry was at the landing of the last leg of my return flights (from Sea-Tac via Newark).

I was there giving an AAPT Poster on VPython and an AAPT Oral presentation on a new derivation of the Doppler Effect in Relativity.

By my account (and clock), your picture was submitted AFTER the deadline of this contest. So to be fair to the rest of the participants, it cannot be included in the contest.

I wasn't paying attention to the time over there, the sun is setting here! I was just pleased to have posted an image successfully, albeit one from a moving car... maybe next time.

OK, one more time. This is a reminder to everyone that, if you have a photo that would have qualified in previous contests, KEEP IT! We will be recycling the themes eventually!
