I am pleased to see that everyone is doing okay. Thankyou to all that got entries in this week. I know that

Brat wasn't able to submit due to other commitments...but she did notify me of this ahead of time. Thankyou Brat.

I'm in too. After a couple of rejected ideas and tries, I happy with this one (which usually means it will bomb!)

Hi Guys! Sorry I missed last week, first one in two rounds of Olympics, so I hope you forgive me, but just every now and then life gets in the way!
I've just put one in Motion Blur....a bit of a first for me to be this early! Good Luck everyone!

I'm in Motion Blur too... though I have 4 others that were candidates, and I might change my entry tomorrow... but I've definitely got AN entry in. Here's hoping it doesn't bomb like every other photo I've taken recently.

Hi everyone,
Lodged my entry for motion blur... Maybe I should just apologise now and get it over with!

As you can probably tell I'm very unsure about this one and was debating whether to upload it or not but maybe others will have a different opinion. Fingers crossed!

Thanks toddster. Wouldn't worry about the low score, its not for sheep stations and at least you back in the game now.
Happy snapping

Sorry guys, as suspected I didn't get an entry in this week for motion blur or money. Internet access at the caravan park was dicey at best.

Anyone else struggling with smoke and mirrors? I had a firm idea of what I wanted to achieve, and now that I've failed at that, I just don't know...

Man I thought smoke and mirrors would be easy, no such luck, I have a couple of shots I may go with but I'm far from happy.

Tried smoke.....no luck so I attempted mirror and have an entry that I'm quite pleased about...but it's up to the voters. My money entry is doing alright..nothing spectacular, though!

Well I'm in for smoke. Happy enough with it technically, but my entry is far from original :)

Just uploaded my smoke photo... another lower than average submission I fear. :(

I've got an entry in mirrors, I didn't really end up with anything I wanted (creative drought), and am a little uncomfortable about the one I've put in (can't really say why it would give it away) but my wife likes it, not that that's ever been an indicator of success.

Other question, some of you have used DCPrints, I notice my current "motion" challenge entry has marked 1 wish list. With my current 5MP camera is it worth putting the picture up on DCPrints or will the quality just be rubbish (its about 1800x1800 with the crop)?

I can't speak for myself last week, but I think we're doing as well as we are just by consistency (and the QLDers a couple of weeks ago helped just a bit!).
I'm really proud that we're working so well as a team, unlike some of the other guys who have gone MIA and teams are scrambling to fill positions.

Well done everyone. We still have time to win! :)
