How to Use This Board (http://www.christianphotographers.com/community/index.php?topic=5279.0)  











Details:  

• This topic was chosen by TTGator, who won our  last Challenge. He chose the new subject of "Let His Light Shine".  He says simply - "Be Creative!".  So let's see how many ways we can show this wonderful concept.  Put on those thinking caps and let your imaginations go!
  

• Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes.  If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.  If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it.  It's best if your photos are at least 500 to 600 pixels wide so that they are easily seen.  Please keep your photos under 175 KB in size.

• Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.  

• The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on September 20, 2009  and then we'll vote on them.  

• Please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it.  Please only enter photos taken by you.  

• Please put a short title above your photo.  We need the title for the poll listing.  If you want to tell us a bit about your photos, please do that in a separate post so that every post ONLY has the Title and then the Photo and that's all.  

• Please post only one entry per post/message.  

• Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge.  So start posting.  Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
  Remember, this is a fun project!

I was the first one to vote, Jeanne .... I wanted to get it over with so I could enjoy the process .... (and compare my vote to others)  ;)

I voted but it was hard. A lot of the Photographers but a lot of thought into the entries. The message is there in the pictures. They all give glory to Jesus, our Lord and Saviour..

Steve

Amen, Steve!   :thumbsup:

I've voted too.  Great photos, everyone.  As Steve said, they all reflect the Light of the World, Jesus Christ.

I voted did you?  

Only 18 voters, we can do better than that people. Come on and vote ,only takes a minute.

Don

Edit: Can't you see I'm lagging behind, I need more votes!!!!   :lol:

Greetings brothers and sisters,

It is getting chillier here in Ontario but It did not stop me from submitting my votes.
I agree with Don. We could do more than 18 voters. ...please.

I hope the attached photo would inspire other members who still haven't voted.
This is Lake Ontario, shot from the shoreline of Scarborough where I do my morning walks.

LaughingPeppers, that's beautiful!

Only a little more than 5 hours left for voting!   ;)

What a feast for the eyes - and the soul!

I voted several days ago.  :thumbsup:

According to the rules, the voting goes through Monday October 5th. Today is only October 4th. The Only reason i'm sure of this is because my wife's Birthday is Tuesday, October 6th.

Steve

Steve, you are so right!  Another goof I made.  I've had October 4 in my head for days and never thought to double check my information.  :-[

So there's still time for any late votes to get made. 

Jeanne I also thought the cut off was Sunday....wasn't looking at the date, just the day of the week.   My mistake as well at least we are all human!.. You are doing a good job sis and Steve thank you for the heads up!.

I agree that Jeanne is doing an excellent job.   :groupwave: :clap: :yes: It's great to have so many Ambassadors that can keep things running. I'll throw in a big round of applause for all the ones who keep the Site going.  :clap: :clap: There's too many to mention by name and I wouldn't want to leave anyone out. This Challenge has a lot of great pictures. But a few of them stuck out in my mind. Part of me wants it to be over so we can go to the next one. But part of me wants to see it come down to the wire on these 3 or 4 great entries. I'm was very happy to see Pat get her entry posted in time. I was afraid she was just going to ride off into the Sunset. I would love to ride off into the Sunset she entered. OK, I've said too much. Now I wait patiently for the Winners.

May the Lord bless & keep you

I would like to make a comment about your picture, Laughing Peppers. I LOVE IT!
The photo and verse go so well together. I'm guessing that you took it after the entry's deadline. In my book it's a Winner.

May the Lord bless & keep you
Steve

Now, we wait for RobTesnear to tell us what the next challenge topic is!  (RobTesnear, please send me a Personal Message including a description as to how you want the topic interpreted too.  Thanks!!!)

Congratulations Rob, a first place photo for sure. Congratulations to the others that posted photos. They were all great!  :thumbsup:

Now we just have to wait for Rob's choice for the next challenge.

Don

Congratulations, Rob, on a real winner!  There were so many nice photos in this challenge.

kevin

Great Picture Rob! The Sunlight just right through the Clouds helps us to remember that Jesus Coming could be soon. A Photo very worthy of first place. I liked all the winners. None of them were losers in my opinion. :groupwave: :groupwave: :cp: :cp:

OOPS! I'm sorry I have to catch all the mistakes. The Dawning of His Light by Don is the wrong picture. You have one of Kathleen's pictures there instead.  An easy problem to fix.

Humbly submitted
Steve

Steve, thanks so much for catching that and letting me know.  See?  I need a keeper!  :ticked: I've fixed that - do you see anything else out of whack?

Not a thing. We all need help from each other. It surprised me that Don didn't catch the mistake. It's easy catching mistakes. If I was doing what you do, you would find plenty of mistakes that I made. May the Lord continue to bless you.

Steve

Congratulations to all the winners! 

Congratulations to everyone who entered, for letting His light shine through your camera lens!      :thumbsup:

It's okay, Steve!  I don't mind.  :lol: 

Congratulations to each of you.  It was a wonderful way to look at His light and think what it meant to each of us.
Becky

Congratulations everyone!!!  The pictures are all beautiful.  It was a hard decision for me to pick they were all so good.

Jeanne and Don you have done a good job of organizing this competition.  Way to go.

My apologies to both Don and Kathleen.   :anon: 

My father used to tell me  "The only people who don't make mistakes are the ones who don't try."  Well, judging from my mistakes, I can never be accused of not trying!   :-[

No apology needed here Jeanne. Didn't bother me one way or the other. :)

Don

Didn't bother me, either, Don.  Heck, yours was one of my faves.  Nice shot, btw! ;)

No problem here either, Jeanne.  I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do the behind the scenes stuff for the challenges.  Thanks!

Thanks, Don and Kathleen, for being so understanding.   :D

Thanks Kathleen! That was a nice shot of that Sword there also.  :thumbsup:

Don

I liked them both and voted for them both....but there has to be a winner.

I can't get into the Website for the Winners. I get an Error message stating thaat it is off limits or down.

Steve

Steve, there's no separate topic for the winners.  It's back a page or two in this one.  Or you can just CLICK HERE (http://www.christianphotographers.com/community/index.php?topic=8956.msg139258#msg139258) to get to the start of the announcement.

Thank you Steve!

I had put that link in when Jeanne first opened a new topic but now that it's merged, that link doesn't work so I'm off to change it.

Thanks so much for letting us know!

Thanks. I got through to the Site this time.

Steve

That's great Steve.  I sure messed up forgetting to correct the link!  So happy you told us.

That's alright Pat. Makes me feel like I'm A part of the team.

Steve
