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















Details:   

• From MaxA:  "Bring us photos of historical buildings, historical places or historical items.  Think about your photo and plan the lighting and get a really nice shot of something that speaks of the past"   

• 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 Monday, April 21, 2014 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 MaxA for suggesting this topic.  He was the winner of our last Challenge entitled "REFLECTIONS".  Thanks MaxA!

Michelangelo's Frescoes

[attachimg=1]

This is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel where the master sculptor Michelangelo reluctantly painted his famous fresoes, depicting the great stories of The Holy Bible. He completed it in 1512 after four years of agonizing work.

I shot this very discreetly, using wide angle set on auto everything. Photography was restricted. So I had to shoot without looking, pretending to be just admiring the paintings. I wouldn't leave that place without firing a few shots.
Who are they kidding? I am sure God understood and has already forgiven me for breaking the Vatican rules. LOL!!!

Ancient Acropolis

Travelling toward Ottawa, capital of Canada on back roads,  a few of these cabins can be found hidden in the relatively new growth of forest and around the cabins are still evidence of ancient herb gardens, etc. from when the first pioneers lived and settled in this area.  This cabin is very, very old.

Anyone looking in tonight or early in the morning, could you let me know if you got an "Announcement" that voting is now taking place please?  Thanks so much!

I did not receive an email announcement.

I got "new announcement" but it was empty ... nothing there to click on.  Oh well, I came in here anyway, through my secret entrance ....  ;)

Hi Pat..... I got an empty email. on April 7th at 10:54 A.M.  The subject was "  New announcement: Mini Challenge #81~HISTORY " nothing since.

Good morning, Pat!
I got your note checking to see if we got the notice then an empty note.

We are trying to get this fixed.  We aren't sure why the Announcement emails are completely blank.
