I knew. If I'd had an event it would have been easy. I did shoot one thing and worked on it tonight, but I don't know if it will cut it. It wasn't what I had in mind.
I only shoot for challenges or if someone hires me for something (which isn't often). Other than that, my regular job takes up my time so I don't have a favorite shot in a two week period. I have to make time. Tomorrow!
WhatSheSaw and Linda--my goal was to do something that I've never tried before, but to do it within my regular shooting assignments for the week. (I contribute to a small local online news outlet.)
I shot an outdoor concert, a theater production, a D1 college football game and an NHL hockey game.
The most common theme was people. since I'm not a portrait shooter at all, that's where I concentrated..... informal portrait that I could process in high key. I needed a goal. I like that I found my own goal within the Open theme.
Thanks for everyone who kept yakking at those of us who were having difficulty finding our niche in the Open Study theme.
Anyone else having a problem logging out of the Challenge gallery?
I've tried to log out numerous times and every time it says I am logged out. Then I try to log in to my own site and get switched to the Challenge site, which shows me as logged in.
The Challenge site is really a nice site but I have to be honest. It isn't mine and I'm rather fond of my own.
I'm hoping that when I try to re-log into my site tomorrow (or later tonight if I can't wait any longer) I will be able to do so.
Oh, and when I went to upload a picture, the screen came up without any way to upload. I eventually found that the Jurasic version worked (the one that gives you a button to push for each photo you want to upload) and I was able to upload. But, hey, I thought I had outgrown that.
Just askin!

I haven't had that problem. Maybe try flushing your internet cache.

I personally have had a few glitches this week. Clearing my cache or trying a different browser does seem to work in my case.
You are not the first person to notice a few weird things happening, so I do suspect there may be some stuff that needs attending to since I also just received an alert from SmugMug saying they are putting things into read only mode tonight at 10 pm Pacific time for emergency maintenance.

I was having problems posting my image in the challenge gallery. I finally had to pick a different method of uploading for the 3rd time and it worked. Thought it was just me, but it seemed weird since I'd never had that issue before. I was just now trying to view the gallery and it's moving REALLY slow. I can't get it to change images or pages even, so I quit trying for now.
Last round we had no Disqualifications but unfortunately this time we have two. :cry
Froch - Youth = No EXIF information, Make sure you always check the info after uploading.
CookieS - Gritty = Uploaded after the challenges closing time.
A small rant here, which I have not mentioned until now:
I will start reminding all of you that if your caption does not conform to: Dgrin User name - Title it may be subject to DQ as well.
It is a simple thing to ask and do, the main reason behind doing it is consistency.
I do not want to see a colon : or ~ or -- or :: or anything else in between your user name and title.
What I do want to see is your Dgrin user name, a space, then a - (minus character), then another space, then finally the title of your photo.
So far I have been editing the captions to conform and there are many of you that every time I am changing it.
Please in the future follow this format. It is actually part of the rules and has been since the beginning.

Sports works as does the dress rehearsal.
Maybe a lot of folks are just overthinking this. Enter your favorite shot from these 2 weeks.

Just have your camera handy so you can take advantage of an opportunity.

This round is now closed to entries.
I will be cleaning things up and posting the public poll sometime tonight.
The new challenge is still getting the finishing touches done to it and will be posted ASAP.
I was having problems posting my image in the challenge gallery. I finally had to pick a different method of uploading for the 3rd time and it worked. Thought it was just me, but it seemed weird since I'd never had that issue before. I was just now trying to view the gallery and it's moving REALLY slow.
