October Countdown


Greetings from DC, were fall is well and truly underway!

This monthly thread is intended to let you share your one favorite image from your entries last month -- your personal favorite, or maybe your most hopeful, or your proudest photographic achievement that month, etc.; often, this isn't always the image that you *think* will potentially go on to Finalist or better, and it may not be an image the BP Judges are drawn to! It isn't about predicting a Finalist/Winner (although that's a fun trick when it happens here!); it is about sharing your personal best/favorite image.

So give your favorite a showcase here, tell us why you picked it, and join us in the countdown... Best of luck to everyone in the October contest results!

Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process:

1) Sign into BP (name + password.) IF YOU HAVE NOT YET entered the Contest for today, you can take advantage of the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your Reply here.) This avoids a duplicate image upload to your Member Center. First go get the Photo ID# of the image you wish to include here (visible in your Member Center) then return to this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, and choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down (even though you won't actually be uploading a file.) Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" field shown over at the right. Skip the other text fields on that screen, and finalize the submit at the bottom.

2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here (*before* making your new Contest entry) or upload a copy (from your PC) of the image 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.

If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help direct BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first 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... which may one day be deleted.

So I get to be first this month. I have two hopefuls, Ascent which is special to me personally for a couple of reasons and Chevy of the Mountains which is the one I have decided to post. It feels so funny to be choosing a favorite when a third of my entries - including this one - haven't even been looked at in terms of EPs, but there it is.

Good luck to everyone in the quest for Staff Favorite, Finalist and Winner; and remember, any image you really like personally is already "gold".

Here's my favorite for October. I usually don't do "people" photography but I took some shots of this little guy as a favor for a friend. He looks so serious in this photo and normally he is grinning from ear to ear and his eyes are so blue they just sparkle. It was a such a fun shoot for me!
