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




WE'RE VOTING - CHOOSE 5

Seventy-Sixth  Challenge for you all

suggested by buddywoods who won the last Challenge.








"BIG BIRDS"


Details:   


  • From buddywoods:  "Show us your best photos of your "BIG BIRDS" (not the yellow Sesame Street one  :D) for this challenge--a duck or bigger.. 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  a BIG BIRD!"   


  • 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.    


  • If you possibly can, please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it.  But if you don't know, please post the picture anyway.  We want to see your photos.  :)  Please only enter photos taken by you.    


  • The challenge is open now and will be locked to uploads on Sunday, October 6, 2013 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 buddywoods for suggesting this topic.  He was the winner of our last Challenge entitled "LANDSCAPES".  Thanks buddywoods!

Raven in Yellowstone Park

(https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.photography-cafe.com%2Fgallery%2Falbums%2Fuserpics%2FDSC_6350raven.jpg&hash=6532790a33ff64856e58327df05d6796bbe0a83d)




Taken in Yellowstone Park while waiting for "Old Faithful" to spout off!  This raven was massive.  We don't have them in Southern Ontario.  I've seen them in Northern Ontario.  Obviously he/she was interested in what I was eating and didn't mind the photo being taken.

Long Necked Emu

If you've evr come in contact with one of these birds, then you know how dangerous they can be. As my wife found out, you better keep the car window rolled up.

Geese Running.

[attachimg=1]

I don't expect this to go anywhere, but thought you would find it interesting that the geese didn't fly away from me, they ran away.  It was the strangest thing I have seen.

I don't have the boxes to the far right where you can vote or the tabulations.

Steve, I've sent the problem on to Pat and Michael.  The reason for no boxes is because you have submitted your vote, but I don't know why you don't see the right hand column with the voting results.

OK, it's all my fault.   :idiot:  :uglystupid:

I ticked the wrong line when I set up the voting.  The results should be showing for everyone now.
