***March Photo Contest Preliminary Thread Two--Winter***

Our March Photo Contest theme is Winter! Whatever that season means to you: holidays, food, weather, sports and so on!

Our DU Photography Forum is dedicated to not only sharing our photos, but also discussing photography as an art, a skill, and a means of communication. Please keep those criteria in mind when voting.

There are two (2) Preliminary Threads. Please vote in both of them. The other preliminary thread link is here:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218776693

Preliminaries and Finals will run for 72 hours.

As always, the photographers appreciate your comments!

I was attempting to capture Jupiter along with the moon, but was unable to. Those are the breaks!

I've just started a thread in the Lounge where I'm looking for more entries!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181983567

Please keep it kicked! I'd really like to see us get at least a total of 20 entries!



We have 20 entries and I'm closing it there. I left an announcement in the Lounge thread about that.

Beautiful pictures and a Winter Contest in Photography Group!

Hey guys! There is a seasonal Photo Contest over in the Photo group. The theme is Winter of course, so if you have a fun foto of a winter scene come join the rest of us and share it. It's not about winning it's about sharing things you've seen that made you smile. Yeah there is voting but that's just an excuse to show the rest of us something you've seen. Cell phones make great pictures and have won past contests. No fancy Photo Shop required.

Come see what's there right now and if you need help posting a picture check out the Help here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103659987

Tonight, Mousetoescamper and I arranged to photograph the crescent moon together!

I thought I was clouded out . . . turns out I wasn't!

Here's my photo:



Straight out of the camera without any post-processing. I did crop a bit.

Enjoy, dear friends!

I am celebrating my 149,000 post!

This hammer was a gift from the good people who built a new roof on our home, last year, right before the rains started in earnest.



Being a member of DU and of the Photo Group has brought me new friends, new knowledge and hours of fun and adventure. This post also celebrates all of you, because you've helped me achieve so much.

Many, many thanks!
