No way! If you got a spot - keep it! Lots of point and shooters here. This will be fun for you - and we are all new. Got to start somewhere!

Stay on!

The Captain has arrived. If you don't want to be a captain I would be glad to do it.

Good thing, because I believe the task just fell to you :D

Congrats!"

Hang in there, including

dsterner, and

PhotoInterest we still have exactly a lucky-7.

Kick in the ^ss works for me! Thanks for the vote. Now, where's my camera? LOL

A suggestion... Click on your camera link and see what others have done with similar equipment.

Then read the comments-before, of each photo. The comments-after, sometimes, may not be as sincere in my opinion.

That's what can be done. be sure to read scalvert's essay/message on what it takes, it's the best advice I've seen.

It is true what TCCGuru said about only picking Oscarmeyer and Blue Moon from this thread. I believe I found 4 more real life friends to join my team unexpectedly to form the 7 of us. Good luck forming together and I hope everybody gets placed onto a team that wants to be. Can't wait for the season, happy submissions!

Above is what is left from the original post. I am assuming that none of the above has committed to a team.

Justamistere is running the team. Waiting to hear back from everyone interested. However, I had asked a friend to join and that puts us at 8 people and Justa had also asked a friend so I am not sure what is going to happen here. Right now, Justa asked everyone to respond. To see who is interested.

Since I want to be on a team with my friend, and I do not want to take any spots away from anyone here, I will just create a new post - start a team. And if I don't get on a team - that is life lol. I want to be on one but not going to take away from anyone else since maybe I am the one messing up issues.

Ok, that makes sence.
I definately want to be involved.

Good morning America, Hello World. I'm just a mystery, yes a Just A Mister E.

Okay, Hopefully we can create a team, who wants to work to improve skills. Yes, this is a competition, but you only have to do what you enjoy and comes naturally. Competition and improvement requires some work or play. Work can be play and visa versa.

I would love to have ColorCarnival on this team, she could be a real contribution. Usually the more heavyweights carry the less experienced, but there Definetely is such a thing as Beginner's Luck. It's just a matter of Effort and Timing.

Please verify the following:
The Entry rules require only 4 members names to enter. Then we have until the 20th to get the final members recruited. Last minute stuff is very iffy. I do what I do for reasons, just ask.

I've reviewed all the contestants' profiles. As captain, my choice is to replace

TCGuru with ColorCarnival's friend

PhotoInterest TCGuru is still the runner-up and welcome if someone else faints. I decided to go along my earlier suggestion of going with more then zero-submissions. My best photos have not been displayed in my profile here, yet, either.

That will give us a strong 7 members to start to with. I just don't want to be called the "E-Volts". That Has power too, but I own a Nikon now. So Welcome all the the Motley Crew. Or any other team name suggestions welcome. Let's Rock-n-Roooooooollll!

w00t! i'm pumped!

if we stick with The Motley Crew, here's some ideas for logos we can b@stardize:

other name ideas:

"A Shot in the Dark"
"Aperture Priority"
"TechnoChemistry" - Since it seems like we're all experimenting with different subjects and techniques to get the right "formula" - Like a chemist....

Hang in there and check back here, but I'll keep you updated.
I haven't heard from all people on the list above. I know ColorCarnival started a thread 15-minutes before I posted it. I have sent emails to all the interested parties above. I will check back this evening.
