How to Use This Board

Here's our Third Challenge for you all, suggested by Loren who won the last Challenge.

"PETS"

Details:

Show us your best photos of your "PETS" for this challenge--Dogs, Rabbits, Cats, Rats, Gerbils, Budgie--any Pet!. Here is an opportunity to come up with some fascinating and creative pictures! Think about your photo and plan the pose and the lighting and get a really nice shot of your PET!

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.

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

The challenge is open now and will be locked to uploads on Saturday, May 20th, 2006 and then we'll vote on them.

Please put a title in your post for your photos. We need the title for the poll.

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!

Thanks to Loren for suggesting this topic. He was the winner of our last Challenge entitled "The Blues". Thanks Loren!

Hey Kevin, I didn't know Jazz was a biker!

Larry Hanna · May 14, 2006, 08:36:27 AM

Great photos folks and it appears there are more cats than dogs amoung our posters. I will have to see what I have of our cat, Mr. Tiggers, or try to get a new photo of him.

What is a budgie?

geegee · May 14, 2006, 04:45:11 PM

Ellette · May 16, 2006, 08:54:51 PM

Well, this is only a sort of pet. "She" (my son has declared it is a girl, and she wants to be named Chickalee) is the classroom pet at my son's school. We got to babysit her tonight so I just snapped a picture.

Chickalee.

Ok, I can't resist posting this.

I call it "Hot Chick"

Sara

Ritz · May 17, 2006, 07:42:22 AM

That's too funny!

Marilyn · May 17, 2006, 10:55:09 AM

So fr I like the photos of the chick. The dogs are awesome too but I am partial to dogs.

Pat I don't see Geordie here yet. I see Lauren Cat.

Pat · May 17, 2006, 11:10:23 AM

Sara, those are great "Pet" photos. Love them!

Nita · May 17, 2006, 02:58:29 PM

WOW!! What talented photographers we have here at CP. These pet pictures are such fun to see. Nita

"barn cat"

Ritz · May 19, 2006, 02:46:53 PM

*Beauregard*

mybcjazz · May 19, 2006, 04:35:20 PM

Don't look now Beauregard, but there's a barn cat right above you!

He's a cutey, and on ONE leg!

Gripped,
kevin

Pat · May 19, 2006, 08:54:54 PM

Nice Kevin. I was thinking that the bird might feel stalked by all the cats!

geegee · May 19, 2006, 10:00:02 PM

This is Reggie, almost a year ago...

"Reggie"

geegee · May 19, 2006, 10:03:27 PM

This is Skipper.

"Skipper"

This is Sophie....

"Sophie"

Ritz · May 19, 2006, 10:34:04 PM

Beauregard fears no cat...believe it or not. We used to have a long hair cat that would tease him by walking back and forth by his low perch, every time the cat would get close enough...Beauregard would LUNGE at the raised tail and try his best to get a bite.

Sometimes he'd get in a good nip. The kitty would stay away for a couple of weeks, then the whole affair would begin again. He's not actually very small either, he has a little more than a two foot wingspan. Oh yeah...that beak... can open unshelled almonds without any help. But he's my little sweetheart!

Liz · May 19, 2006, 10:56:37 PM

Beauregard is beautiful, Ritz! I had a similar bird with green coloring....had to give it away because of the bird dander and allergies....Also had budgies. They are both so smart and with real personalities! Never a dull moment

mybcjazz · May 20, 2006, 07:12:40 AM

Jazz getting some excess water out of his fur.

Kevin

Pat · May 20, 2006, 10:40:34 AM

Ohhh, Kevin!

That's an incredible shot! Thought you took his biker helmet off and put a Yukon Parka on him.

Liz · May 20, 2006, 01:52:25 PM

GeeGee, your kittens are really sweet! So small and cuddly.

Hope you weren't standing too close to your dog, Kevin.

Marilyn · May 20, 2006, 03:56:40 PM

Beuregaurd the African Grey is so beautiful. I love African greys. At one time I had a double Yellow head named Spacheene (not spelled that way it is an italian word) I spelled it phonetically. can't remember what it means, it was used a lot in the Godfather movies when two people were talking to each other.

Loren · May 20, 2006, 04:14:05 PM

"a dog's life"

Loren · May 20, 2006, 04:15:13 PM

60 lbs. But if we cut all that fur off, probably A LOT less

kevin

Pat · May 22, 2006, 12:00:59 AM

Geordie is 43 lb.

His mother was small but his father was a huge dog. Guess Geordie takes after his mother. He's heavy enough when he's a "lap dog"

Larry Hanna · May 25, 2006, 12:03:34 PM

Voting on these wonderful photos is really impossible since they are all winners. I have just now looked at each one and will vote but it is going to be hard.

Now, we'll ask Sara to choose the topic for our next Challenge!

Also, if you have linked your photos to an offsite location, we ask that you please leave it on that site so that the photos in here will not be broken links? Thanks so much!

Ellette · May 26, 2006, 10:46:25 PM

Thank you everyone. I'm actually going to enter that into a photo competition here. All the procedes ($5.00 entrance fee) go to the humane society. If I won I'd get a p&s camera so I could cart that around with me when I don't want to lug my 20D around (like on my 4-5 mile walks in the mornings) and then when my oldest is old enough...another year or so, he can have it. The second and third place winners get a gift cert. for a photo supply store, that I could use too!

Sara

Pat · May 27, 2006, 12:08:27 AM

Sara, that's a great idea. I sure hope you win! I think that getting the kids involved in photography early is just fantastic.

JudyB · May 27, 2006, 12:13:03 AM

These are all beautiful.

Congratulations Sarah!

Loren · May 27, 2006, 01:57:30 AM

Way to go Sarah!

and thanks for the votes

mybcjazz · May 27, 2006, 07:53:47 AM

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE TOP FINISHERS!!!

In His Grip,
Kevin

Etta Sue · May 27, 2006, 09:23:30 AM

Congratulations to all!

The small town I live near has a weekly newpaper. They asked for pictures of pets. Since I was away from home, while eating my breakfast I looked at the weekly paper and there was Inky in newsprint!

Thanks to you all for voting!!
