Well, for some reason, they took the EP they gave me yesterday on the deer photo off..It was there yesterday, several people saw it, and now it's not there. I wrote in, but of course I'll never get a sensible answer. I've never had that happen in the entire time I've been at BP and that's a long time!

Carolyn, the same thing happened to me-they took one of my EPs off - December 4 I think, but I didn't ask them why, I just thought maybe I was going nuts. I guess I should have called them on it. Next time...

You should tell them..Email Jay@betterphoto.com..He wasn't aware of it til I told him, so he will want to know about yours, I think..It was on the 4th for me, too.

Not really, Susan - I mean not easily. You can go to Photos on the main menu and drop down the possibilities. Choose Editor's Picks. Now start clicking to look. I think these are pretty much the current month's picks, esp since we're well into the month. If you see your entry there, it should mean it has been selected again this month for an EP. However, since they are displayed randomly, you can click all day and never see it but it could well still be there.
At any rate, this is how I understand it. I sometimes browse the EP's this way, but not to check on my own entries - just as a way to see some nice photos that I might have missed.

deleting contest entry
I inadvertantly uploded the wrong photo to the contest.
The photo I uploaded looks similar to the intended,except it has an artifact--a small branch--
Is there any way to delete it?
Someone I could contact?Thanks colleagues

Member center - Better photos - Edit you photos - check the delete box next to the photo and click the save button on the bottom.
That should do it.

And once you delete the contest photo, you can immediately upload a new photo to the contest, on the same day. Even one minute later.... But if you enter a photo on Friday, for example, then delete Monday's contest entry, you can't enter a 2nd photo on Friday to replace the Monday shot. I think most people understand this, but thought I'd restate it.

October 2012 Countdown Thread
It's almost the middle of the month again. It's almost Thanksgiving here in the states. My kids are home all next week. I figured I should post this thread now, just in case the judges want to surprise us with early results so that they can focus on their holidays too. Of course, they might also decide to make us wait. The good news is, we should all have plenty to snack on while we wait!Happy (almost) Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate the holiday! Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost. Good luck everyone!!!

Ok, I probably say this every month, but looking back at Oct. entries, I'm having a super hard time picking just one. So I'm gonna go with 2 -- for now ;) My most "hopeful" is the image of my niece. I almost never photograph people, and was so happy with this candid capture. And one of my top favs from Oct., is the picture of the wood house in NW Iceland. Best of luck to everyone!

Love your Polar Bear, Michelle! Chris, my super hard comes into play when it's between deciding my favorite vs. what I think the judges might pick. It's hard to detach myself and be objective. I enjoyed last month where everyone made their picks for exactly that reason. If BP doesn't pick an image that you guys did I give more thought to resubbing it. My entries run from Center Stage on Pg 1 (right after Finalists) to The Applicant on Pg 2. I am looking forward to browsing everyone's entries. Last month I finally got 2 Finalists in one month. Do I dare dream of a 1st place? someday...lol... Good luck everyone!

Wonderful selections, everyone! Susan, lots of great choices in your gallery, but picking just one I'll go with Ruby. Incredible lighting and detail. My October images start on Pg. 8 with Harvest Moonrise and end on Pg. 2 with Mysteries Within, which is my pick for October.

A few more gallery picks-- Leslie, so many great bird images! I'll go with Breakfast for its wonderful drama, detail, lines and reflections. (There's something about the position of the frog in this version that adds to the drama, for me.) And congrats on your terrific POTD! Usman, I'm glad to see you're resubmitting some of my previous faves! To pick something new I'll go with sEaTs ApLeNtY - 2. Love the balanced design, warm tones and perfectly balanced layout.

Thanks Carolyn for the guidance. However, it does not have a button for inserting the Photo ID instead it asks me to upload the image again and that's what I would like to avoid. Is there any other way? Carolyn - "Fish Oklahoma" is my choice from among your other beautiful captures. It is mesmerizing and I wish I lived nearer to this place. Susan - I had a hard time choosing between your "Fall Days" and "Center Stage', but finally decided on center stage, such a lovely floral capture. Martha - I think you have a winner in "Intensity" such wonderful B&W composition and the expression is fab too. Leslie - Wow, all your bird shots are terrific. I am going with "Dance of a Sandhill Cranes". This looks like a Winner too, good luck! Kara - You already know that I love the "Adoring Autumn" and will not give up on it EVER. Chris - I love love love your Icelandic image "Búðir & Snæfellsjökull". The setting, light, colors and comp go very well together and I wouldn't be surprised to see this among the Winners, good luck! UB.

Usman, I was just sitting here thinking exactly that - Finalists before our Thanksgiving holiday here would be great!

Fingers crossed---I don't have my tracking spreadsheet at work, but this week (historically) has seen the most Finalist announcements---that is, until more recent times, when it has stretched much later...
11/19/2012 7:09:26 AM
|
|
|
|
The elephant in the room is that it's Thanksgiving week..Do they rush and do them before, or wait until it's over??
Your guess is as good as mine.
Thanks, Usman, for picking my favorite shot of all time! LOL..I do love that one.

Yeah, T-day is the big question... Wednesday remains tied as 2nd-most-common day of the week to release Finalists, so they would have historical trending on their side if they get them out by Wednesday night... Additionally, that would be the 21st, which is the single most common date each month, historically, to release finalists... So, will the stars align this week?? :) If they don't, my guess would be Sunday or Monday. For kicks, the past October's Finalists have been released in Nov as follows:
2011: Wed 16th
2010: Mon 15th
2009: Mon 23rd
2008: Tue 25th
2007: Mon 26th
2006: Thu 23rd

Los Ojos
This beautiful child was riding comfortably in a wrap on her mother's back. I had permission to take the photo - tried to get a smile, but all I got was this wide-eyed, solemn stare. The angle, crop and full frame, all of which I like quite a bit, were dictated by the fact that I had my 100 mm macro on and we were in a crowd so I could not get any distance to speak of without having people come between us.

Tough time this month - five personal favorites, two resubs and three new ones. Going with one of the new ones. They did catch up on EP's last night, so maybe . . .

I'd like to know how to put thumbnail links to two previously uploaded images in this thread too. Chris did it. A problem with putting in a new upload is well explained by Michelle in point #4 of her thread introduction. Also, I love seeing the badges on those that go on and we will not see them on the new uploads.
11/20/2012 6:08:45 AM

|

Don't USE the previously uploaded images. Use a fresh copy of each and after you put in your response, click select below and put 2 in the box. It's not a problem if you use new copies.

I don't do "new" uploads... the technique I used is a trick in BP's curious upload process, when you want to use pre-existing images. Do everything you normally do to reply here with 1 image by Photo ID... (ie, before your daily contest entry is made.)
Once you successfully "attach" your first image by PhotoID method, and you get the "Success!" screen, hit your browser's "back" button ONE time, to return to the upload screen. You'll see your PhotoID still populated. Now, paste in your 2nd PhotoID for the next photo you wish to attach, and click Submit. If you have more to attach, just wait for that "Success" screen each time, and hit "Back" one time to return to the Upload Screen and repeat, with next Photo ID.
11/20/2012 7:08:11 AM

|

Carolyn, your method works, to get multiple images into a thread---but it negates ever getting to see the Finalist/Winner badges on those particular images here in this thread---because they aren't your original upload; they're new duplicates. (It also clutters your Member Center - even if you choose not to Display your duplicates. And, if someone clicks your duplicate to comment on it, that comment is not attached to your "original" image where everyone else has already commented in the past.) It is a great method, for demonstration purposes or Before-And-After uploads, but I find it is a less-than-satisfactory method for THIS particular monthly thread---where you want to show your actual entry, let people comment on that image (if they choose) and later, see if it got medals, displayed in this thread ;)
11/20/2012 7:13:26 AM

I guess I don't care as much about the comments. It just seemed to me everybody was always saying...I forgot to do it before I uploaded...
11/20/2012 7:48:23 AM
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that BP flaw (that the Photo ID method only works daily *before* your contest entry is made) is a real head-scratcher, and frustrating too!

Sorry just now getting to this - it was a crazy weekend taken up by work. October has some of my favorite photos in it, unlike September and even November. So I have 4 I like and I am hoping one will be picked as a finalist. I'll try to make my picks for everyone later today or tomorrow - if we don't hear before then - keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks all!!!

ermahgerd! I forgot to mention that I've finally upgraded from my 2007 D50 to a D5100! Great reviews on this! Supposed to be a little workhorse version of it's big brother, the D7000 ($$$). I'm so excited to have more power and upgraded quality and features. My family may not see me till thanksgiving day!

I think the D40 is still regarded as a great camera. I would say keeping that and putting your $$ into great glass would be the way to go. Too much has improved over the D50. I'll still use it as a second camera tho :)

Maybe, but they are usually behind the newsletter in the pecking order, so maybe not.

I think the judges are waiting to see more people showcase their monthly picks here, anyone else who doesn't think it will jinx it, I am missing a few regulars too! UB.

OK UB I give it a shot and try and guess a few winners... So many wonderful images in all your galleries. In most cases I choose a different one than the photographer selected to just give another possibility. Michelle.. Pumpkin
Carolyn...Fish Oklahoma
Christopher...Iceland Layers
Susan...Ruby
Chris...Bursting In Air
Usman...Just Checkin' In
Martha...Mysteries Within
Leslie...Dance of the Sandhill Cranes
Kara...Adoring Autumn
Nikki...Moonglow Over Polenz Ranch
Marcy...Blue Green Vase Abstract

I'm glad somebody agrees with my favorite shot. You're the second one that picked it, but it won't get anywhere, it's been through probably 20 times or maybe even more since I shot it in 2005. Thanks for the thumbs up. I'll try to pick some of yours next month. I've been under the weather lately.

Sorry your under the weather Carolyn. Feel better soon. I am not happy with my October entries but I think things are looking better for my November so I'll be excited to see if you find a possibility from my Nov.

This last minute announcement of results is making me crazy!!! So I'm going to assume they aren't coming out until Friday with winners announced in December. Anything earlier is a nice surprise, yeah - right. And my chocolate is almost gone :)
11/27/2012 10:32:42 AM
|
|
|
|
That's certainly the most prudent course of action, Marcy! But it takes away the "fun agony" of wondering, day by day!! ;)
11/27/2012 10:43:28 AM
|
|
|
|
It makes me crazy too!
But I do, as always, have lots of chocolate, much to the detriment of my waistline! :-o
11/27/2012 10:44:08 AM
|
|
|
|
I think Weds also. I wish they were earlier so I had more time to comment on finalists before winners come out. But it's all good, exciting and yes, fattening lol!
11/27/2012 12:01:45 PM
|
|
|
|
Sigh... no chocolate, and just as bad, no amaretto... Guess I better stock up tomorrow!
11/27/2012 3:55:47 PM
|
|
|

So much for assuming their coming out on Friday - I keep checking emails every 5 minutes. Some of my best photos were submitted in Ocotber. Please be announced soon - Please!!!

I may have to make an ice cream run for some Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy!

Doh! Peggy---I tried so hard to forget there's a 7-11 not far away---but now, with Ben & Jerry's staring me in the face from your post, I don't think I can resist!
11/27/2012 4:11:35 PM

I'm all stocked up with ice cream..Gingerbread, Cherry Nut, Pumpkin and I think I'm getting fat.

Oh....the joy of waking up every morning anticipating the Finalists announcement and then later going to bed expecting this to happen the next morning ..... has a sweet pinchy disaapointing feel to it. Someone said "Don't Expect and thou shall nver be Disappointed", so all the problem is with the Expectation part I guess!!! UB.
11/28/2012 6:00:26 PM

Yeah, my estimate of tonight seems unlikely at this point... (though there's still 6 hours left in "tonight", on the West Coast!) So now, looking at the historical trending, I fear I have to revise my estimate again, to a Friday announcement! Fridays historically edge out (barely) Thursdays as a more common day of the week to announce... Fingers crossed---looks like it will be down to the wire!

I'm assuming they know this month has 30 days, not 31 ... :)

Lol Usman, you summed it up perfectly! I hope it's tomorrow (Thurs) at the latest so there's at least a few hours to browse and comment on Finalists before Winners come out. Hi Elida! Beautiful floral, good luck!

My Oct favorites are OCT. 12,13 and 18. You can look in my port to see them they are on the first page. They are of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and they show the eiffel Tower with the Bellagio fountains in the forground of the images. In each of the photo's the water in the fountains are in different poses.
But the eiffel tower is like solid gold in the night in each of the images.
It was one of those magic times when I was taking images.

What affect does the Holidays play with the judging in the past years? This is my third month for the contest and I'm not sure what to expect.

No predictable pattern around holidays... scroll up in this thread to my 11/19 post, which shows the Oct. Finalist Release Dates for the past 5 years...

Wow! That's amazing that you've kept track of all that information. So... It seems that the finalist are uncharacteristically late. I think most here have OD'd on Chocolate.

Getting in kind of late, but here is my favorite for the month.
11/29/2012 11:39:54 AM

|

Yeah, Ken, early on I was a little obsessed with tracking statistics about my entries, about my Finalists and Winners, etc., down to what day they were released, how many entries vs. Finalists, percentages, etc. I've kept it up since joining, and so the spreadsheet that I use, now has 82 or 83 consecutive months of contest tracking! Minor case of OCD perhaps??
11/29/2012 11:59:28 AM
|
|
|
|
Minor?? I'm glad you do it, Chris...I love that sort of stuff, but have gotten too lazy to do it anymore.
11/29/2012 12:13:40 PM

What, still no finalists?
Okay, desperate times call for desperate measures.
I'm bustin' out the chocolate martinis.

They should be out soon.

They just have 30 hours left and then they miss their own deadline! If it doesn't happen soon I'll need to buy a new keyboard, this one is getting worn out from all the checking.
11/29/2012 5:40:39 PM

They have missed it once before, Marcy. But the announcement finally came :)

Peggy's gonna be drunk typing by the time these get out! I fear I may damage my insulin production from chocolate overload! And my blackberry really has become a crackberry cause I hear it ding every time an email comes in. And I think "nope, not gonna look" which only lasts for a few short minutes. If that!
11/29/2012 6:01:25 PM

I think they do them extra late once in awhile just to draw us together :)

Congratations to all the Finalists! I've never been more tickled yet baffled at the same time! I got three, breaking a record again this month. I would have picked Fall Days (and someone here did) but Frosted Fruit and Spice Girl wouldn't have been in my top 50%. I'll take em tho (and maybe stop trying to guess what the judges will pick)! I'm off to browse. Good luck to all in the next round!
11/29/2012 7:42:23 PM

Always a surprise... :) Managed three here, but much like how I picked the wrong numbers for the huge megalotto yesterday, I also didn't pick the right choices in this thread, either ;)
11/29/2012 7:42:58 PM

Congratulation to the finalists. I was not lucky this time.

Thought for sure I posted my favorite here but I sure don't see it now. Got a Finalist on it, though as well as a second on another that I felt was a top contender. So I'm a very happy camper. Congratulations to everyone on their finalist(s) - hoped for or completely unexpected. You may even grow to love those that surprised you the most; I know that's been true with me in the past.
11/29/2012 7:55:20 PM

Congrats to all the fnalists! Record month for me as I garnered 2 finalists picks on Candy Anyone and Intensity - both among my favorites. Though I had really really expected one for Blue Green Vase Abstract as it received so many great comments and did well in Masterpiece Membership contest. Just goes to show you that the judges will always keep us wondering. Good Luck to all in the next round.

Congratulations to all the fabulous winners!! (Did anyone else notice that the first place winner in Digital Darkroom -- which is fantastic, by the way! -- is also shown as a second place winner in the same category?)
11/30/2012 5:09:30 PM
|
|
|
|
I noticed that Peggy! Wondered if that mistake bumped someone else from a 2nd place?
11/30/2012 6:15:37 PM
|
|
|
|
That is weird. The image itself shows second. Is first missing?
11/30/2012 6:28:15 PM
|
|
|
|
Susan, that's what I thought, that someone got bumped from second. But Martha, I didn't notice that the image itself has a second place "badge" on it. Strange. Hopefully BP will notice and correct it (whatever that correction may be). I do love that photo, though!
11/30/2012 7:03:38 PM
|
|
|
|
CONGRATZ to all who struck Gold, I was lucky to be among their company this month. Thats strange, Peggy. It definitely looks like an unintentional error. I am sure BP will fix it soon. So all of you Finalists in the Digital Darkroom category, keep your hopes up, you may still get a First or Second place gold. Usman.
11/30/2012 8:18:10 PM
|
|
|
|
I didn't know it had a 2nd place badge either. I'm sure someone let them know so they can put the correct 1st place winner up there! I also think Tammy's pic is awesome! None of mine were DD but I'm hopeful that someday one of mine will snag a 1st place :)

Oct. Contest Update!! Hi Everyone, As many of you noticed, there was a tech snag, in which a First Place winnere somehow appeared among the 2nd Place winners too. Our apologies - and it's now been corrected with Laura Swan's Falling Apart receiving a well-deserved gold. Thanks,

Darn my 11/9 Fall Stream didn't get an EP. I don't seem to do well when they take a break and start back up. Up against to many good images I guess.

Don't despair, Jackie - they might not have finished the entries for 11/9. Only those who have been members quite a long time have reported those. I think they started the 9th but didn't finish. Sometimes when they do that, they pick back up where they left off (and sometimes I have to admit it seems as if they don't LOL). I don't have one for the 9th, either.

I think that got me caught up. I slipped behind because of Hurricane Sandy. We were without power for a wee and lost a few trees. I missed 11/1 and 11/2 and 11/7 did not get an EFP.

Question: My last three autumn images, 26, 27, 28 were all passed over. I placed them in Nature and Landscapes, should I have put them all in Catch-All? I appreciate any feed back on this! :-)
11/29/2012 5:23:15 PM

|
|
I think its good to capture a different pov to get some of the roof top in and look up but you might want to try different crops to see if that really adds to your image. I was really captured by the tree trunks and beautiful colors so the little bit of roof might not be needed. I think it should have done well in either category.
11/29/2012 5:43:27 PM

|

Thank you so much for your insight Jackie! Looking at the compositions now with the roof tops included probably hindered the N & L category! Marcy made the same observation and I thank you both!

I'm still waiting on my laptop to be replaced. I've entered a few iPhone pics (!), and finally broke down and installed Lightoom on my son's laptop. So no Photoshopping for me for the past three weeks. However, yesterday, I broke down and installed that as well. Just couldn't take it anymore. Anyhow, the following are all either iPhone images, or images edited in Lightroom only. Remembering a Family Friend

Sorry - this is all my fault. I saved time and listed my 11/30 entry here (with the disclaimer that it was only a "hopeful".) : >{{{

Cheri - I would mess with how you list the link to the new question. All we have to do is take the new number and change the one above... Just replace the 35872 in the above URL with the new ID of 35884 - and you're in to the new one.

Hi Alex,
Good to hear from you! Here's how to do it...In Campus Square, click on the Student Lounge tab at the upper right. When the next page displays, click on the Student Introductions link at the left. Next, click on the Introduce Yourself to the Class tab. You'll then see a title box and a "Your Introduction" text box to introduce yourself. Underneath, you'll see the "Upload a Self Portrait" section underneath the text box. Choose the Yes option, and on the next page, you'll be able to browse your computer to upload your portrait - it should be a JPEG. Hope this works for you! Kerry

Road to Stykkishólmur
Shortly after fixing a surprise flat tire, we were back on the road to catch our car ferry out of Stykkishólmur to the Westfjords.
I loved how the roads in Iceland wind off and shrink into the distance, yet stay visible in the vast landscape.

Morning Light
Sunlight pours through slender clear windows in the apse of the austerely elegant, gothic-influenced Hallgrímskirkja of Reykjavik. Iceland's largest
church took 38 years to complete, in 1986. It dominates the city skyline, featuring an observation deck way up in the single front bell tower.
9/12 Finalist - T&P
|
|
|
South Iceland
The landscape (and the weather) is so variable in Iceland. Beautiful meadows abruptly meet serious slopes and rocky mountains at every turn.
Three tiny bright specks about halfway up the slope right of center are sheep; we continually saw them even higher up these hills and mountainsides.
Icelandic sheep are often found grazing in little clusters of three; typically two newborns and the mother.

Sitting Pretty
We had hoped to see our first puffin at Látrabjarg on day 4 of the trip; instead, it was not until day 8, near Vik, visiting cliffs at Dyrhólaey.
There, hundreds of puffins dotted the cliffs, and you could easily get within 10 feet of some of them. They're quite charming to watch!
The weather was the worst we had (chilly, windy, rainy all day) and watching the puffins fly into and land in the strong winds was somewhat comical.

Ghosts of Bikes Past
I don't know if this was someone's backyard, or an adjacent vacant lot, in Reykjavik. The colorful graffiti and collection of bike tires caught my eye.

Down & Around
We saw this beautiful set of falls from the road in south Iceland; entirely at ground level and below, falling about 8 or 10 feet over several cascades.
Definitely a fun place for a Variable ND filter; I ended up with a 2.5 second exposure here.

Brooklyn Brick & Block
The remains of the old, Civil War-era tobacco warehouse just below the massive Brooklyn Bridge.
A recent controversial deal will allow a theater to be built within the walls of this historic building shell.
I liked the pairing of round arches in the wall, with the famous gothic arches of the bridge beyond.

Park Bench
A bench wrapped around the base of a park statue in Reykjavik; I liked the lines of the wood slats, particularly
where they met diagonally at the corner, combined with the joints of the pavers on the ground below.
The round screw heads created another set of lines, and the faded blue graffiti and traces of old red paint
added a bit of color to the browns;
I stood on the bench aiming straight down, balancing carefully to get my feet out of the shot ;)

Stonecarver
One of the most charming gargoyles at Washington National Cathedral; a depiction of the cathedral's beloved
past Master Mason, Roger Morigi. His staff of carvers created this gargoyle as a tribute, reportedly carving
it in secret, and not revealing it to Morigi until installation. Maybe with good cause, as they chose to
immortalize some of his worst character flaws, tongue-in-cheek. Here, Morigi pulls his hat down in anger
(a famous temper!) to release a nuclear mushroom cloud, while devil's horns poke through the hat as well. He
clutches a chisel, with more carving tools in his pocket. A pointed tail grows from his backside.
One foot wears a shoe with a hole in the sole; the other foot is shown as a hoof.
Not seen here, on the far side, a mallet, and a whiskey flask and stiletto in the other pocket.
He sports a 5 o'clock shadow, and is wearing a favorite golf club sweater.

Patreksfjörður Evening
Later in the evening (the sun didn't set until after 9:30pm) on the drive to our first hotel in the Westfjords of Iceland.
The sweeping lines of the clouds gave an excuse to stop for a bit - at times the main road (at the right) felt like the edge of a cliff!
12/12 Finalist - N&L

|

The Garðar
The (deliberately) beached ship Garðar, in the Westfjords of Iceland. The name suggests "stronghold" in Old Norse.
The ship sits at the base of the Patreksfjörður; we came across it late in the afternoon on a sunny drive to Breiðavík.

Masterpiece Membership
Thinking about signing up for Masterpiece Membership. Curious as to what others have experienced in this group? Likes and dislikes. I'm fairly new to photography but have developed a great passion for it. I've taken 2 classes and things are starting to click and my photography is really improving. I want to keep learning, growing and receiving feedback but need a break from the weekly assignments. Any thoughts, comments and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've been in MM since Feb 2009. It's educational, fun, aggravating, confusing, motivational, fulfilling........ All for only $49 a month...which, if you figure it out, is cheaper than a 4 week class.
Anyway, it's moderated/run by Kerry Drager...who assigns, and, explains, the monthly "Mission" with pictures and links to examples. There's a Q&A forum for questions (Duh?) and a critique forum to submit pictures that you need help on or would like comments on..Kerry is very good about answering questions and critiquing promptly.
The "mission" pictures go into a separate area and are commented on and voted on by other MM members. When the "mission" month is over, there are a few days for stragglers to vote on pictures, then Kerry makes his choices and the top 10 images for that month are announced.
I hope some of this made sense.... It's hard to capsulate the whole thing in a couple sentences. If you have any other questions or need something explained further, feel free to ask me. I'm retired, so I have lots of time... ;-)

Marcy: I've been in MM for awhile (although not as long as Bob, he has seniority I think), and in addition to the benefits of a monthly challenge, which I enjoy and find motivating (although admittedly struggle some months to find just the "perfect" masterpiece shot), the unexpected benefit has been Kerry's availability to critique not just the monthly submissions, but any shot. For your monthly fee, you are essentially buying a pro to look over your shoulder and give advice on any aspect of your photography. I find that as valuable as the monthly challenge. You also get the opportunity to connect with other photographers; I recently vacationed in an city with a MM member and we met up for a day to shoot. Plus, you can come and go anytime, no commitment beyond each month. Each month all the entries are up for vote for the winner and top 10 finishers. I have learned not to obsess over this. Hard to anticipate how people react to your shots, not unlike submitting to the regular BP contests each month. Hard to see your "greatest shot ever" be ignored! On the other hand, a shot you didn't think that highly of can get a good reaction. I think you can find the top finishers each month on the main BP page, so you can get a sense of what the level of the participants is...I think it is all over the board, from pretty serious, experienced photographers to folks like me who are somewhat new to the concept of being serious about photography, and skill levels that range from intermediate to highly skilled. I don't think there are many "beginners" in MM. I think most members have taken some BP classes.

Thanks Greg! Great information and really helps me to know what I'm getting into. I've take 2 classes - 16 weeks and my photography has really jumped a level, though I would still consider myself an advanced beginner as there is so much to learn. I really enjoy the comraderie of the classes but I am always sad when the class ends. MM sounds like to might be a great experience and I'm going to give it a try for November. Thanks again!

Kerry and I often wonder if the word "Masterpiece" in the title of this group intimidates potential members. Although the original intention was to walk in Ansel's footsteps, and create at least one masterpiece a month, we could change the name to something that is more open to intermediate and serious enthusiast photographers. Any thoughts?

Jim - this is my third month as a member of Masterpiece Membership and what attracted me to look at it was the name. So I say keep it. I truly aspire to creating Masterpieces. I would have characterized myself as an advanced beginner serious hobbyist when I joined and I'm very much enjoying this group and the monthly challenges. The members are open and friendly. The level was not above my capabilities - I even had a photo chosen as #1 last month. My suggestion might be to leave the name but choose a tag line that encourages all. ie. An open and creative environment to help any serious photographer create winning photos. Hope that helps.

I guess I thought it was a more advanced class or more advanced skills than I have at this point. I am a serious enthusiast hobby shooter always wanting to get better. Perhaps it might be something I am ready to try. Congrats Marcy on doing so well in the club and winning a monthly challenge. Thats awesome.
2/3/2013 4:23:21 PM

|
Very well put, Marcy! I was pondering a new name and couldn't come up with a better one. I like your tag line idea... :-)
2/3/2013 5:26:38 PM
|
|
|
|
Thanks Jackie! You should join this group. Your photos are beautiful and I'm sure those in the group would enjoy seeing them. I think you would enjoy it also. It provides the comraderie of the monthly discussion threads but more intimate. Plus you have the advantage of receiving critiques. Kerry is really wonderful and always gracious and responsive. I have learned so much from him and all the members of the group.

Another tag line idea: "No matter where you stand, improve your photography rung-by-rung until you reach at the top, creating Masterpieces of your own" UB.

Good one, Usman... :-)

Thanks Marcy, would definitely love to join in the fun and improve on my skillset, but its (the fees) way too steep for me right now, as there are other priorities that need to be taken care off first. UB.

This does look like fun, but the monthly cost is prohibitive for me to!

I've written Kerry and gotten some great feedback on the Master Membership program. I would like to hear about some experiences from members in the program. Can a member give me a scenario of a monthly challenge was like for them? Thanks for any feedback I can get from folks. I hope everyone has a super Christmas!

September '12 Countdown
aka Cocktails and Chocolate...
and what more perfect month to chow down on some choice chocolate with Halloween looming!I missed the 15th - this month is really zooming past. Happy Fall Y'all to those of us in North America. Happy other seasons to anyone who's is different. I'm seeing all these gorgeous fall foliage pics from friends in the Northeast and Midwest. It's still in the 80s here in Texas. I'm looking forward to some fall colors on a family trip soon. Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost. Good luck everyone!!!

I managed to rearrange my images this month so that all my entries from September are together - starting with "Illumination" and ending with "Pretty and Pink". I have not had much luck picking within our thread lately...but I'll go out on a limb and try...

Time is flying... I think fall runs faster? ;) This will be a VERY hard Countdown to choose a single fav, for me... (And hopefully, this time I'll remember, tomorrow, to post it here before my BP entry ;)

Good grief, is it that time already? I'm not going to jinx myself by picking one of mine, but if anyone wants to take a gander at my entries, they start on page two of my gallery with "Untitled" and end on page three with "Twins". I have a feeling that results will be really early this month. . . .
10/16/2012 1:08:59 PM

Also not picking a fave..mine are from page 3.."I Don't Want My Claws Cut" to page 6.."Sunbathing".
10/16/2012 1:23:18 PM

|

Gotta check the box. I'll go ahead and pick the last one of the month "I Don't Want My Claws Cut" as the fave..they won't, but they better watch out, she didn't get the claws cut. LOL

I am choosing "Have Some Garlic" or "Step Inside My Beautiful Balloon" from my Sept. If anyone wants to choose for me since I am never right I have mine in groups by Month. Sept is I think the fourth category over. Thanks

I spent 10 days in Iceland in the 2nd half of August on my first-ever visit there, and it was the most spectacular trip I've ever taken! So September had 28 Iceland entries from me, making it very hard to choose just one. I'm choosing this one because I feel that landscape is not my first subject of choice usually, but I'm thrilled with how this one turned out.

Wow that went fast! Thanks for hosting the thread Michelle! Love your Beastie! I haven't picked a fav but like many of you I have yet to guess correctly anyway! I'm just still hoping to break a record get two finalists in one month lol! I look forward to seeing all of your picks and I should have some time tomorrow to make some myself :) My gallery runs from Beneath Me on Pg 1 to Centerfold on Pg 2.
10/17/2012 6:04:55 AM

Wow! How is anybody gonna pick one of those beautiful florals? Ok, I'm picking Beneath Me and Peace.

Based upon PG101's favorites list, I think that my "Before the Storm" image has the best shot at going places.

Michelle - Butterscotch

I like one of my two mink photos for September, but there are a few others I like to. My entries for the month are from "Locked on" through "White Faced Ibis" the vertical one. Will come back at lunch and look at others and make my picks for them!

Curious Wild Mink
Take two on this little guy - went back next day same time to see if this location was a habit but he was a no show. Good thing he cooperated the first and probably last time I saw him! What looks like an injured toe is not, I thought it was but its not in other (not so good images)of the same foot, must have been left over breakfast or something on the boardwalk that I did not notice.

I don't expect anyone will want to navigate my Sept entries, but IF you do, they are more closely grouped than any other month I've done!
So it goes like this:
Start on page 1, with Misty Waters.
Continue down page 1 editors picks only.
At th end of page 1, Jump to page 7 and pick up after the "Travel and Vacation" banner...
Continue down page 7 to end with Road to Stykisholmur.
Phew!!

Well, I'm hoping for one from September, but I'm not even going to try to guess - I never get it right. July and August were dry months, since I hardly submitted anything. In September, I jumped back in, and I'm so glad. It feels good! :)

Here's my pick (guess) for September: And thank you Carolyn, but yea, all the florals! lol I am trying to branch out into other subjects some more. This month out of 11 entries so far only 5 are floral! woohoo!
10/19/2012 8:35:54 AM

So many great entries! Since sometimes the first instinct is the best, I viewed photos and my choice is the first one to jump out at me. So here are my picks:
Michelle - Watching - those eyes OMG
Jeff - Details
Carolyn - Chrysler Flood 2 - or any of the Chryslers - gorgeous
Susan - Mini Me
Christopher - Road to Stykisholmur
Ushman - Zebra Abstract - I like it the first time I viewed it too
Jackie - I had 2 - Lil Girl and Fall Stream.Mine are in my September folder. Though looking back at them, I like them but not much is standing out to me. If I had to choose it would be Santa Monica Pier or Old Ford. Christopher you picked my finalist last month - anything stand out to you this month?

Loved viewing so many beautiful images, here are my picks from your galleries: Michelle F. ~~~ My Beautiful Beastie (purrrfect for the MT)
Calolyn F. ~~~ My Favorite Tree (Can't figure out why it did not garner an Ep, but I think this is worth another try specially in this months Monthly theme)
Jeff E. ~~~ Untitled (the one with the strong leading water line going towards the three people in the far - great use of wide-anle)
Jackie S. ~~~ Two Balloons (wonderful pov and great colors, I see a Gold in this one)
Susan M. ~~~ Orange You Happy? (Its a super duper floral capture, great color and presentataion)
Leslie J. ~~~ Rhino at Dusk (Beautiful capture and details)
Marcie B. ~~~ Speeding Along (Great pov, comp and color)
Martha R. ~~~ Pluneria (WOW, I mean WOW, this should be the top pick of the judges from among the flower entries, good luck)
Christopher B. ~~~ Mossy Foss (A lesson in water veiling and use of ND filters, a surefire Winner, IMHO)
Nikki M. ~~~ A Handle on it & Sunrise Sunset (both equally good in their own pretty ways) UB.

Marcie..I missed you before..I like the pier shot best, too.
On the car, I think it would have been better if you shot from a lower position. I like to sit on the ground or even get down on my stomach (providing I'm not gonna get stepped on).

Welcome Karen! Michelle's got great directions at the top of this thread for posting pics here :) Not sure which in your gallery are September entries but you've got some great images! Marcy - I'm going with Circle High. Love the primary colors and comp. I got dizzy when I looked at it too long lol! Kerby - great gallery as well! I like the Lock from your pics! We have so many picks this month! We'll have to compare to see who got the most right in their list! I hope the Finalists come out early again this month. I'm crossing my fingers for all of us!

I'm laughing because I realize I should have clarified "early" as in before next week! Like the 30th for Finalists and 31st (or later) for winners! This week would be great :)

Wasn't too sure which were their entries for this contest round. Ken

Thanks for the picks, Usman. My current entries are always on the first page of my gallery. They are followed by Winners and Finalists. Then come the previous month's entries - the ones that are appropriate for this thread. Currently they start on p. 6 and spill over to p. 7. "Crescent Barn" was my entry for the 30th, "Young Raptor" for the 1st. I think this activity is a relatively new addition to the thread and quite a nice one.

Thanks Susan Carolyn and Usman for taking a look at my entries! I always liked the Amish ladies in the Ocean at Assateague Island. "The Surf is Calling RE1" I could never get the sky looking right so I cropped it out.

Chris - Icelandic Gothic, Mossy Foss - can't remember what I picked at 101 - too many that I like . . .
Jeff - The Ladies (great light!)
Carolyn - It Was a Marvelous Morning (may have picked something else a week ago - too many beautiful sunsets and sunrises!!)

Terry - Lighthouse Glass
Leslie - Demoiselle Crane - love the curves and red eye
Kerby - I agree with you on Lock
Nikki - On the Rocks (btw Nova Scotia is one of my favorite places.) Good luck to everyone. Hopefully we will hear soon.

Having some time to explore, at last. Figured I'd FINALLY get a look at Sept. entries you all shared!
5 of you now, and hopefully the other 5 later today (for the 10 who provided directions to view their Sept. Hope I'm not missing anyone when I went through this thread!)
And given my tardiness on this task, I opted to choose two favorites each -- it was actually too hard to pick just 1, so here's hoping multiple Finalists for all! :)Jeff: US Capitol Building. Alien. Trying really hard to avoid my bias for the cathedral :) Carolyn: Sunset on Steriods. '33 Chrysler in Black. That car is quite a photo subject, and of course, you have access to some of the most stunning sunsets around! Jackie: Lil Girl Candid. Step Inside My Beautiful Balloon. The portrait is winsome, and the balloon festival must have been amazing! Susan: Beneath Me. Inviting. Wow, your floral close-ups are fantastic. Would LOVE to get any tips on lighting, etc.---as winter approaches, I become a hibernator, and trying some florals inside might be nice! Martha: Awake. Tropical Morning. I guess morning in Hawaii would appeal to me, it seems! Beautiful!

I just noticed that my name spellings were mis-spelled a couple of times in this thread. Please note that it is *Usman* and not "Ushman" or "Useman". Thanks Leslie for picking two, one of them (Fog Light) is a strong favorite of many, fingers crossed we'll probably know by Monday. Anybody hungry yet? UB.

Sorry Usman - I noticed my typo after I submitted and then of course it is too late to correct. I've eaten almost all my chocolate, need to buy more. And the keys on my keyboard are definitely seeing wear!

Round Two: Usman: 9th Door Missing. Seasonal Circles. Love that flower! Terry: April Showers. Fleur-di-lis. Great sky replacement. Leslie: Eye of Zebra. W.F.I. in Flooded Rice Field. Must have been a spectacular trip, judging from your images! Marcy: Row of Shadows. Is My Cheeseburger Ready? Love these 2 b/w images; the Shadows one particularly! Ken: Wet Fall. Winter 2010 Ice 1. Similar choices for me, perhaps--I love the sparkle & DOF in each. Good luck to all! If I missed anyone who posted directions to their Sept., let me know!

I'm kind of glad the finalists haven't been announced yet, since it gave me a chance to review a few more galleries: Ken - Wet Fall (seems to be a heavy favorite!)
Nikki - Sunrise, Sunset Good luck everyone! Maybe Monday...

Good Luck everyone!!! I was kind of surprised that the finalist were not already out. I have only two entries this month but there is no way I will get gold two months in a row. Most of the time when I get a gold I don't get another for years........LOL. Personally I am hunkering down and awaiting the arrive of Hurricane Sandy so I may not even have power when the finalist come out.

A few more picks -
Carolyn - A Look Inside
Nikki - Children's Cascade or Sunrise SunsetChris, thanks so much for the awesome compliment on my floral close-ups. As for lighting, I always try to go natural first. Lately I've photographed a lot of florals out on my front deck. I just take backgrounds out there or use the woods or lawn as a backdrop. I can usually find an indirect sun (unless it's overcast) spot vs. using a diffuser. I'll use bounce and fill flash to eliminate shadows if I don't want them. My second choice has always been natural light from a window. Preferably softer early morning light and same with the flash (if needed). A reflector opposite the light is great in this set-up. The last studio lighting type shots I did were using just one light (like a hardware store can light (diffused) at 45 degree angle, a reflector opposite and I bounced flash from the wall above. I'm sure I'll use option 2 or 3 vs. freezing my butt off outside this winter! I can't wait to see your florals! And I want to ask you about your EoD and architectural shots: how do you manage to get these with no people in the shots? In DC, no less. I live only an hour south of DC and while I don't go into the city on any regular basis, I would like to go for a photo shoot sometime. And also, do you use flash indoors? Am also hunkering down for Sandy and not looking forward to a power outage...again! At least I have 3G on my crackberry and lots of images loaded and ready to submit (part of my emergency planning!! lol)! Be safe, everyone!

Susan - I like your emergency plan for Sandy! Don't forget the water. I'm fortunate, I think, to be on assignment in Los Angeles. But I'm worried about my friends, my cat and my house in New Jersey. I'm glued to TWC with big prayers for all. Be safe to everyone on the east coast.

You skipped me Chris - wink, wink! ;-) STAY SAFE everyone!! Charge those batteries, hunker down and please all check in when you can. Jeff: I love "The Ladies" -(sounded funny in my head to type that). Carolyn: Toss Up between "Reflections and Driftwood" and "When the Body Gives Up" Susan: So many beautiful florals...I'm going to pick, "Orange You Happy" Terry: "Time is on our Side" Jackie: "Two Balloons" UB: There are always so many to love in your gallery - I'm really drawn to "Pigeon Hole" Chris: "Mossy Foss" because it's so tranquil and beautiful or "Table and Chair" because as always I'm amazed at how you are able to make geometry into such beauty (and here out of such simple objects). Martha: "Afterglow" more to come...

Marcy: "Italian Fire Escape" Kerby: "The Lock" Ken: "Wet Fall" Nikki: "Sunrise, Sunset"

Leslie: I LOVE "Eye of Zebra" Melissa: I'm not sure which your Sept entries are, but I always love your work.
Tammy: "Porcelain Doll" is gorgeous! Good luck everyone!!! Stay safe, stay warm and eat something yummy! I've got my Sonic Coke and an apple. I'll take some chocolate now please.

Oh Marcy, make sure someone checks on ur house and ur kitteh! As for water we had 4 cases left over from the derecho (sp?) That went thru in July. Half of those are in my freezer along with prob a dozen gallon milk jugs repurposed with water and frozen. Keeps the freezer cool and gives us water :) I sure hope they announce early tomorrow before Sandy takes a left turn into my backyard.

Thanks Susan! I have a lady who watches my cat when I travel so she is looking in on things. Sounds like your very prepared. Hoping for the best. I hope they announce early tomorrow too. Just because they are most likely in CA is no reason to not help out their friends in the east coast.

Well folks, this might be my last thread. My membership finally runs out at the end of the month and I am unsure If I am going to renew it. I have been unemployed for the last year and half and on the fence of the expenditure. Good luck to you all this month!

Cheri, I would be sorry to see you go but I know how it is. I've also been unemployed for a little over a year and it's rough. I finally got brave enough to open a gallery at fineartamerica and to try and get some commercial return for my images. I'm just getting started and it's all about making connections and getting ur face everywhere :) I feel like I gotta do something in the meantime, ya know?

Thank you everyone, especially to someone on here who is an Angel. I am blessed to have such great friends on here. This Angel took it upon themselves to renew my membership. I was lost for words and still am..Thank you so much and I won't ever forget your kind words and your generous heart. Looks like you all got me in your mailbox for another year...:) Susan, all the best to you to love...maybe I should look into that also. I had the free trial awhile ago but nothing. Redbubble is pretty good for me sometimes. Let us know how it goes. Once again, THANK YOU ANGEL! (you know who you are)

Green Glass & Stemware
This photo isn't of anything in particular and more of an abstract of shapes and colors. I was fascinated with the shapes and colors of the glass stones and the way they fall out of the martini glasses. This was taken in the evening with the flash as the main source of light.ISO 100 f/11 1/60 40mm

Thanks Ken. This was actually the same exact photo just converted to B&W. The colored version got an EP and the B&W didn't. What's even stranger is that my photo course instructor's recommended converting to B&W and they liked that version more - as did I. Oh well, just wierd not the end of the world. Trying to figure out what makes the judges tick - only goes to show you that they don't want to be figured out :)

Blue Green Vase Abstract
Only adjustment I did on this photo was use a warmer white balance setting to bring out the gold tones. It was taken indoors with window lighting and use of a tripod, but no flash.

Since the judges seem to be on a short hiatus from choosing EPs, thought I might use this time to ask a question - Does anyone part-take in the Masterpiece Membership or have an opinion on it? I'd love your thoughts, I posted a question so as not to use this space - http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/QnAdetail.asp?threadID=35859 Thanks so much!

Jackie - I love that photo too. Really beautiful. Not sure what the judges are critiquing but I did notice that your waterfalls are dead center. Maybe try cropping either the foreground or the sky which will also bring you in closer to the gorgeous falls. Just a thought.

Jackie - those falls are beautiful! I agree with Marcie. Cropping some of the sky and foreground may be beneficial. I'm still trying to figure out how BP selects EPs. I've seen some very questionable photos get EP and I wonder what are they looking at? Just Exposure and Focus? I've even thrown some photos I don't like of mine into the contest and they still get EP.

Thanks Ken and Marcie, Very good points and suggestions. Might be a definate improvement getting it out of the center.I will crop as you suggested and try again. :) Sometimes when I take a shot/enter I am not looking at it with a detached pov. Its important to try to do.

Created indoors using a flash. Taken with my 35mm lens at f2.2 at a range of about 12 inches from subject. This left a very centered focal point at the corner of the dish with the rest of the candy fading into the background.

Creepy Lady I
Happy Halloween! This is a 3-D model my daughter created in her theatre props class. I thought it would make a fun photo model and worked with lighting and editing to get this effect. This was taken indoors in a window with light shining into the tree outside the window. I also used a table light inside to highlight the model and so I could work without a flash. In Photoshop, I adjusted the saturation in the raw file to mute the colors in an attempt to attain of sense of horror. I used a f/20 and ISO 400 to give clarity to the trees. Ended up being a neat effect as it really distorts the perspective of how near or far the model and the trees are.

Ya'll might want to check there when something gets skipped to make sure the entry went thru. I'm pretty sure this has happened to me once or twice before. Then again it could just be my CRS acting up...lol!
