I looked at the challenges yesterday afternoon, noticed the summer meal challenge, walked into my GF's house at the end of the day, and now I'm the one entry that's in! LOL!!!

You are welcome to "practice" on any of mine, no stress required -- I find constructive criticism more helpful than compliments, and, more importantly, making the comments will help you take better pictures.

Use photography to enjoy the experience of photography, not to build a portfolio.

Enter challenges, but keep scores turned off for the entire year.

Find a lightweight, travel appropriate ultrawide (20mm?) lens with good IQ. Suggestions?


Woot! I met every goal this year!

Ah yes the comment more goal ... Let me clarify this. I have dyslexia and my spelling is atrocious. For approximately 80% of my comments made (including this one) I have to check google or copy to a word Doc with spellcheck and then copy back. When I post comments using my phone the spell check works (when I spell a word close enough!!) but it doesn't on my laptop. All that's not so bad but then I read posts on this site that state that there is no reason for people's spelling mistakes and use of word choice...this is what knocks the wind out of me...

I know it is a feeling that I have to "get over" and I'm working on it!! Sometimes I want go strangle people when I ask for help and the response is just sound it out...doesn't work in my world! So commenting more for "practice" isn't my issue spelling is!! I am sure I have typed comments and deleted more times than I have actually left them...

I will keep working on it!

Edit - this took me 20 minutes and I am sure when I look back at it I will find mistakes although I really tried not to on this one!

First, don't worry about it too much.

Second, what browser are you using? Might trying installing Google Chrome which has a built-in spell checker, and should save you a ton of effort. If you need help setting it up, just PM me.

-Enter at least one regular challenge for every three posted. If I can do it during TPL play even when my personal life is quite complicated, I can do it anytime.
-Vote all the challenges I enter (I always vote 100% except for entries I have seen) and, hopefully, more.
-Comment more - I've really slacked off.
-Enter every FS, even when I know my image is not "worthy". If it's the best I did for the month, it's the best I did for the month.

I really really appreciate this place and the growth that has come to me from participating. I want it to stay around. Participating more fully is the best way I can think of to contribute to that.
