we're giving away a one-year subscription to smugmug (basic account) to the best n00b contributor to dgrin. if you already have a smugmug account, i'll give an amazon gift certificate :deal
so lurkers - de-lurk yourselves, and start posting and contributing. it's easy to contribute in shots - tell the poster how you feel, you don't have to feel obligated to do a full critique (although there's a sticky in the challenge thread on how to critique) ... if all you can muster is "nice shot" well, that's okay too. but you can also tell the photographer how the shot makes you feel ...
in the other forums, contribute if you can answer a question - or if you notice something on page 2 or 3, and no replies, give it a courtesy bump so that others who may know the answer, will see it!
the mods will make nomination and we'll give away the prize in a month - and if this program works, we'll keep it up :thumb

Congratulations on another great idea, ginger
_______________
Did I really say that:uhoh . I just decided to read what this "lurker" thing was all about, and there is a post, like that, so untypical, from me.
Must have my day to want to earn brownie points, not that you don't come up with great ideas, Andy. Of course you do. I personally liked the free dinner one.
What I have been wondering, this is just for newbies. What about the "oldies"?
First to reach? Best after 100,00 posts. Something like that?
A free trip to NY, London and San Fran??????

Just to clarify for those who are wondering?
Yet........

Birdsville, wont be able to make that this year - but it would be a great photo op.
Here's a couple of happy snaps from the recent Auto Italia in Canberra.
...after a while I stopped taking photos of cars and started photographing people reflected in them. This one is of the owner reflected in the window of his car.
... and here's his car. Not quite sure what type of Lamborghini it is. I can't find a reference to it anywhere. I remember him saying it's a LHD version and is one of only four in the world.
See the blue Fiat 850 Special to its left? That's my old car *beams*. It won two awards that day and was a real pleasure to drive when we owned it.

Ya know Simon, I have always considered cars to be a waste of money, my last car was a old Corolla, I had it for 18 years, didn't owe me a cent, I only went through one set of tires, one set of brakes, one radiator and one alternator
I just gave it away after I got this second hand Falcon
Ive had this car for about 6 years now, and fully intend to run it into the ground too
I'm thinking about going back to USA next year, even though I'm going this year ....... I'm just dreaming
Nice looking cars you shot there........some folks just look after their vehicles so well, I like the vintage cars....take care Simon...... Skippy (Australia)

Congrats _bluey!
Hopefully others will follow your example and 'delurk' and come play.

Don't think I've washed it in the five years I've had the thing which would explain the dalmation effect on the roof (we have a large oak tree in the front yard).
If I had the money to spare, and the inclination to spend, I'd snap an E-type Jag (or two... I hear you have to do that with Jaguars) - oh and I'd need a full time mechanic as well. Guess I can dream.
If I really didn't have to worry about money then I'd snap a Vector W2 which I've had my eye on for a few years now...
BTW: Congrats Bluey! One year's hosting on Smugmug... gotta be happy with that, mate.

Rich,
You can't be a lurker with 70 posts
Steve
Howdy. I'm Michelle. I've already posted in a few places this weekend, but this looks like an official-type de-lurking place.
These are older photos, all taken with my Nikon CoolPix 990. We had extremely record-breaking rainfall this year, so I've been busy with my shiny new Nikon D70. I've got a huge backlog of photos to process from the deserts this spring. I've only been lurking a little while, but I already feel like I've benefitted from the river of knowledge here. So I hope to have even better photos to show soon(ish).

I have been wondering?
I will delete my post here, or if I can't, Andy, you do it, but I noticed that I haven't "noticed" Steve recently.

I'm trying to get this stuff up and running so I can get some photos posted.
And you guys can call me Aly.

Here are two of my favorite photos. The latter is one of my last that I took with my point and shoot camera. I have officially decided to take more of an interest in photography. To that end, I just purchased a Canon Rebel Digital XT. It arrives in two weeks. Until then, enjoy these two pics. The first one is my daughter next to a sunflower in our garden. The second one is a killdeer protecting her eggs. I hope to contribute more in the future. Be kind.
