October Countdown Thread


Welcome to the October Countdown Forum.

There are so many fabulous photo posted on BP. So many very inspiring works of time and talent. I like this thread because its purpose is for each of us to show case your individual photo that you believe is your best or that you feel is most representative of your inner self. So... let's see your personal best!
*If you are a regular here you know what to do.
**If you are new to this thread, take some time to read our helpful hints below and join in the fun.
*** If you found yourself here because you are lost.... Hmmm.., Don't worry, this is not the Hotel California, you can escape!
Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process:
1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your reply here.
a. Jot down the PhotoID # of the photo you wish to share. To determine your PhotoID, go to the little Pancakes icon, then click “My Photos”, then “Manage/Enter.” The PhotoID is right below the number.
b. Go to the Countdown Contest thread. Click “Respond” at the bottom of the page.
c. Type in whatever you wish; e.g., “Here’s my Fav image for the month.”
d. Click the “Select” button below the text input box, and select “1.” Toggle on “Notify” box if you wish to be notified. Click “Submit.”
e. The Image Uploader appears. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an input box for the PhotoID (from step 1a). Type it in then click “submit your photo.” Then, return to the forum thread and you’ll see your photo.
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 first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
3) 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 nudge 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.

Good Morning BP! Thanks Errick for posting this thread for us to talk about October's entries. This is one of my favorites submitted last month. Fall comes quietly to California ... we find color where we can!

I will start us off with a photo I took when on a 3 hour hike around the campus of Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville. The campus boasts 2,660 acres of tress, lakes, and hiking trails, making it one of the largest college campuses in the United States. It is located just three miles from my part time residence and thus a frequent location for my photography and my much needed woods-time. There is something about the massiveness of trees grounded in the earth with the smell of forest floor and the sound of rustling leaves that is soothing to my soul. I toke this shot just feet from my car as I started my hike.

My second photo was taken this last month from our second residence on the Outer Banks, North Carolina. Morning walks on the deserted beach is the best! There is something about that endless blue horizon and the salt air smell with the continual crashing of the surf that is soothing to my soul.

A cheerful frog if ever there was one; multi-colored skin and eyes to match the gerbera daisy... is that a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth?

A pair of favorites. Best of luck in the Oct. results, later this month!

Certainly a personal favorite, my granddaughter and her new husband enjoying their first dance. I loved their faces when he confetti fell!

Natasha Pliss's Gallery 		  I am not sure if I am missing any photo (at least I have all my Winners) but looking at the ‘Previous Month Entries’ (October) I discovered that I “have no photos entered into the contest during the previous month”. However, I did enter 5 images on October 31 and on that day they were there under ‘My Current Entries’. I hope it’s just a glitch which will be fixed soon. It’s especially disappointing since it was my first submission after a very difficult year.
