LIKE THE POINTER SISTERS ONCE SAID.......
I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!
Okay so it doesn't take much to get me excited maybe, but I'm feeling that way nonetheless. I belong to a forum that is about Urban Exploration, and I've been there from the very beginning (even before!) of that forum. There are obviously a lot of UE'ers who go there too, and share their photography on there. As it's grown in time, so have the photographs, from flowers to... well just about everything.
Last month, one of the guys had an idea that we would have a photo contest there every month. So last month was the first one, and it was Macro shots in nature. Hmm. Well as it so happened I had just discovered the macro button on my digital and had been trying, but everything just comes out too fuzzy. I obviously need a LOT of practise in that area, plus a tripod. You can't take macro shots (extreme close-ups) with shaky hands, and I just can't hold the camera steady enough. Needless to say, I sadly opted out of that contest.
First good news: I bought a tripod this past weekend. I tried it out, and the shots are still fuzzy. Back to my manual.
Second good news: The July contest is Glass/Mirror... reflections would work in there too. Well!! I have the maximum entries (max. of 3 ) ready to go!!! I can't wait to enter, just for the sake of being able to! I don't care if I win or not, which would be quite the stretch anyway. You'd know what I mean if you saw the calibre of the photographers on that forum! OY!
I just want to be able to play the game, you know? So..... I've got 3 ready to go, and of course once the contest is on and I've submitted them, I'll post them here for you to see.
I know it may sound like such a wee thing..... but believe me I am NOT a photographer, I just play around with my camera. So this is a really fun thing for me. I can't wait for October's contest, it's going to be graveyards.....
Anyway I'll let ya know how it all goes.
