I was trying to understand what you were talking about, looked and saw the 48 hour speed challenge.

I guess with all this talk about a Valentine's Day challenge they pulled a fast one. I kind of had an idea too. Oh well maybe next time.

A black Valentine. Sort of like a title to a Horror film.

For the new people it's been done before:

Darn! They glued the lens-cap on ...

No submission because cameras steal souls

Couldn't find the everlasting "Black Bear at Midnight"

I think those are the only actual entries in previous challenges. The photographers have a great sense of humor. Click on them to read the funny comments given to them.

Thanks for posting. I've seen a couple of them but not all or at least all of these. They all have a meaning and are guite funny.

Well, I got my shot in, and in the process, noticed my camera clock was 12 hours behind, so if I win, I guess I get DQ'd. That was my quickest submission ever...from 12:15 when I saw the challenge until now.

EL-ROI was there a lot of thinking involved in your submission? The setup must have been quick. Myself I'm lost in the dark right now, no idea. Good luck.

Does it really matter though?

The challenge is up, so anything taken after it's up should be eligable. I would think so anyway.

The Council members have said before that they can take into acount time zones so if you can take a shot now you're golden! I'm just taking experimental shots now but have three or four good ideas to work up...

I was just kidding. Thus the :P, but I may have taken my shot. Working on a couple of other ideas before submitting.

Goofy - it'll be as warm in Calgary today as it is in Austin (36F). Too bad the challenge wasn't "Sludgy Melting Snow and Dirty Windshields". I'd rock at that challenge.

Well, I thought for about five minutes of what I had in my house that as black, came up with three things... my nike gym bag, a three hole punch, and the thing I shot. I might unsubmit 'cause I'm having second thoughts.

I've come up with an idea but it is a little Artsy, they do say 'Be Creative' don't they...

Good luck EL-ROI

Hey How about a theme song playing while we vote!

AC/DC Lyrics

Back in Black

Back in Black
I hit the sack
I been too long
I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm dead loose
from the noose that's kept me hanging around.
I'm just, uh, livin' on the side 'cause it's gettin' me high,
forget the hearse cause I never die.
I got nine lives, cat's eyes,
each and evry one of them is wondrin why,
cause I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Mama, I'm Back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back, back.
Well, I'm back in black, yes I'm back in black! Ow!

Back in the thing,
I drive a Cadillac,
mama, one with a bullit,
I'm a power pack.
Yes, I'm in a band,
with a gang,
they've got to catch me if they want me to hang,
cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin the fox,
nobody's gonna get me on another rap.
So look at me now, I'm just, uh, makin' my bread,
don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
cause I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back, back.
Well, I'm back in black, yes, I'm back in black.

(solo)

Well, I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back, back.
Well, I'm back in black, yes, I'm back in black.

(solo)

Well, I'm back, back,
Back, back, back, back,
Back in black, yes, I'm back in black!
