I'm OK, the Photos are goin so-so and You'll do just fine as captain. Now then, just because I don't always get things, is the first challenge for the Olympics then ones that will be announced on July 1 (or 2) or the current ones with the deadline of July 1. I confuse easily.

Thank goodness! I just saw this and there is no way I'm getting anything for Urban Landscape in time. For one it's hotter than the hubs of hell, and our downtown is not one in which I want to be wandering around alone with thousands of dollars of camera equipment (I exaggerate with the equipment).

So yes! Next rollover - I'm so there.

Where are the jerseys?

Hello my fellow we are going to kick some serious arse team members.

I am going to have to give in and ask Yanko if he would mind if he would make up our jerseys for us. I have been fiddling with them all day and it looks like my 3 year old was on the computer doing them for me. In fact now I think about it, I think he could have done a better job than I.

Right the way that this really worked out well for us the last time for our team, was we could send each other our shots but not vote on them. We offered advice to each other and we can be as honest with each other as we can. SO if I send you my picture and it sucks, tell me it sucks!!! lol, I do believe that that did happen once or twice too lol

We are here to make this fun and an amazing learning experience for each other. I know that with the last DPC O I learnt so so much from Steve and Heini in particular. They where amazing to offer long written explanatory details on how to do certain things in PS and what I could do to improve the shot.

I have emailed Irene M to see if she would like to be in our team again, so that we have a complete team. If time does not permit her to play, then we need to scramble to find someone else. I will let you all know!

Hello, sorry I just noticed we have our own lounge to hang out.
Cool.
I'm ready to roll. Although I'm currently busy in pushing the update button every 10 seconds or so.

Exchanging pictures before submission, to answer your questions Ringo (or Ian?) is a good idea.
We should not vote on each others pictures then but trying to improve composition and PP is actually encouraged.
I'm sure Juliet already has a distribution list of all of us.

I "talked" to Irene yesterday. She said she's too busy to sign up, but may be you can convince her otherwise, Juliet.

We couldn't beat Spain on Sunday, but we have to beat the Islanders :)

Sorry for the late check-in. Are we doing a pre picture check for thoughts? I just put mine up, saw some discussions about the style of shoot, and if it is landscape or not? Hoping for the best ;)

Buy the way, I would like thank Juliet for all here efforts in getting this done.

edit:

I guess I should read all posts before chatting away... Tonight is not an entry that counts, only the first announcement and start for the next tue entry. So I'm going to call my entry for this week a test run.... I really should lay of the wine.

I'm probably going to sound stupid but...
What does Wheathered mean???

no that is not a silly question. Weathered means old, liek something was left out for years and has gone rusty or bleached by the sun and wind. Like an old fishing boat, or a rusty nail or a an old person

Good one.

Hey maybe we should start posting in german, so the competition has a harder time figuring out what is going on at the "VIP" lounge. But my written german sucks, so I would have to find a german spell checker. A heck, my english sucks as well...

edit spelling
