Repost the first shot you ever posted in the Photography Group.

[JeffR]

This was mine, March 17, 2006:



Let's see yours!

[Mz Pip]

1. I can do that!

I don't know the date but it was for the "Trees" contest in 2007 (I think).


Buckeye Tree




Mz Pip

[JeffR]

2. That's a beauty!

:)

[Adsos Letter]

3. I'm thinking it must have been one from the Romania series...

but I can't remember...I think it was this one of the Roman fort overlooking Deva:

4. August 11, 2008

The Japanese garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

[Sheepshank]

5. As recent newcomer to this bb....

...I don't have to think too hard, for too long, or search too far. As it turns out, I feel like I may be simply repeating myself. So here is my Washington DC, Hirshhorn, Needle Tower



and because I do think it's fascinating to see what the tower looks like from the outside, here is a pic from the Hirshhorn Web site..tad tiny, but you get the idea:

[Mz Pip]

6. I remember that.

Awesome shot.

[intheflow]

26. Hey! I posted those same shots back in 2005!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=280x8909
...and later in the thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=280x8909#9304

:rofl: It really is a cool sculpture, isn't it? :hi:

[Sheepshank]

58. I so wished

that I had taken a picture from the outside. I blew it on that one.

[Celebration]

7. Fog

I came to this group wanting advice about a camera, and saw the fall contest a year ago. This was my entry, which may have gotten something like two votes in the preliminary contest. Even so, I sort of like the picture. I was going for subtle, LOL. Not a good idea for a fall contest!

[blueraven95]

13. Hi Celebration -

I remember that entry - I liked it then and I like it now! :hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

8. I posted three 2/26/05.

One of them is no longer in my PhotoBucket account. I am one of the oldest of old-timers here, it seems. Where's InTheFlow? I think she was here about that time. F.Gordon, regnaD kciN, ConsAreLiars taught me everything I know.

Here are the other two taken with the old Mavica.

[blueraven95]

12. hey Blue-

you, regnaD kciN, intheflow, and F.Gordon were the first to welcome me to the forum. I still miss F.Gordon.

[Blue_In_AK]

16. I miss F. Gordon, too.

I never found out what happened, but in light of how long some other recently tombstoned DU posters were allowed to hang around, it doesn't seem quite fair.

[blueraven95]

9. I think this was my first

A Portrait of My Sister When She Thinks My Camera Is Not Ready
from Aug-25-05 and heavily photoshopped



not the best one to start off with...:shrug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

10. how would one find out?

[blueraven95]

11. I just did an advanced search in the archives

for my name and then picked up the oldest post I could find.

[intheflow]

27. Search the archives

to see when your first post popped up in here.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

14. according to the archives

it was this one



which was April 11, 2005

huh, who knew?

[Mira]

15. Damn - what a shot that is.

I take it that is when you and Tekisui were brothers.
This looks like his work.

I tried that archive checking thing, but it did not work for me yet.

[Blue_In_AK]

17. I remember that shot well, Wanna...

I love it.

[intheflow]

30. I remember that!

It so perfectly illustrated George Bush's America, right down to the flag.

[trusty elf]

18. This is mine.

a view of Salzburg

[intheflow]

31. Great shot!

When did you post it?

[trusty elf]

43. Hi intheflow!

i posted it on the 15th of September, 2007, together with an aerial shot of San Francisco.

:hi:

[Robb]

19. Hm. I'm not sure.

I believe it was this one, though. :)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

24. I remember that one. but the archives say it

was this post, again, the link is broken... something about lichens

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=280&topic_id=4947

[Mira]

20. I found what it was! I lurked and listened and then

asked how to submit a photo, and JeffR gave me the specs, and this was my first entry and it was in the seasonal contest.
I called it
"The full orchestra"

[alfredo]

21. The archives don't go back that far. I was in the first contest.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

23. sure they do, the link to the pic is just

broken... try this, which was the first thread you started... you commented on a couple before this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=280&topic_id=554

[alfredo]

25. I changed ISP's so the images all all gone from that era.

I will have to do some searching to see what the earliest image from back then.

[intheflow]

29. You were in the first thread in here!

22. Posted on my birthday, 2006

This was the first one in a small group of shots I posted that I took in Peru:

[intheflow]

28. My first post in here? New Year's Day 2005.

The links to my first shots are all broken in those posts, but these were in the first couple of posts, judging by my descriptions of them.


From a thread about photos that tell a story:

Petey and Truman Meet the Lobsters



From a thread with a Reflection theme:

Sunrise/Moonset



On edit: I remember you posting that shot, Jeff. That's when I knew my days as a Photo Group leader were coming to an end--the competition was starting to get steep! :hi:

[JeffR]

34. P'shaw!

Those were the days when some people like me wandered in after lurking around soaking up a lot of wisdom and really appreciating what artists can do with a camera.

[Blue_In_AK]

36. I remember that second shot very well.

Beautiful. I knew you were here before me, but not by much, it seems. :)

[qnr]

32. Sep 22, 2006 - a response to Haole Girl liking flawed photos

Edit: meant to include the thread - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=280&topic_id=20370

33. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our fourth quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[MattSh]

35. That would be...

this one...

[intheflow]

38. How different from the swamps we're used to seeing from you!

I'll bet this isn't anywhere in the Southern United States! :rofl:

When did you come in here, Matt? Seems to me you must have come in between January 2006-July 2007. That was really my lost year when I was working hurricane recovery and stopped taking photos because the only things around to take photos of was more wreckage from the storm--depressing!

[regnaD kciN]

40. I think there's a little identity mix-up...

The swamps are by mth44sc -- who first showed up, I believe, in the same contest.

[intheflow]

42. OMG, you're right!

:blush:

Sorry Matt! Sorry mth44sc! Geesh, I really do have to start hanging out in here more again!

[Blue_In_AK]

44. Don't feel bad.

I was getting ETAwful, Crisco (now Nash Vegas, I believe) and Alfredo all confused in my head this morning, too. No offense to any of you. :blush:

[MattSh]

56. Yep, definitely not me !

Sadly, I don't believe I've ever been at swamps like that. And if I've been, it's never shown up in my photography!

[regnaD kciN]

37. "Lovely Plumage" (Parrot Tulip) - posted May 9, 2005...

The story: I had long since "retired" my 35mm equipment when I picked up a digital compact in 2003, but mainly used it for family pictures and the like until superconnected convinced me to join her on a shoot at Roozengarde in the Skagit valley on April 28, 2005. It was the beginning of my photo addiction -- in the two years previous, I had shot barely 1,000 images; in the next eight months, over 3,600. This photo was the first in my follow-up post to superconnected's thread on the shoot, now lost to time (as the archives don't stretch back that far). The only reason I know this was the first was because I added this post to my journal back when the thread was still accessible.

[intheflow]

39. I have no memory of that photo at all!

I could have sworn you were here in the photo group before me, but I guess not.

BTW, the archives do go back that far, since I found the very first "Welcome to the new Photo Group" post when I was looking for my first shot yesterday. How were you trying to access it before you remembered your journal entry?

[regnaD kciN]

41. I was doing "advanced search" and "search archives"...

...and, I believe, it wouldn't go back any further than 1/1/06. I did check it some time ago -- I didn't need to do so this time, because I remember my first post here, and saved it in my journal long ago, so I only had to check that.

[Celebration]

45. Georgia O'Keefe like

Beautiful........

[Mira]

46. I call that a helluva start. It showed you were bringing some

serious business to this group, and were not to be trifled with.

[ET Awful]

47. A quick search shows that it was . . . `

That was March of '05. There were two others in the same post, but I can't seem to track them down right now.

And the last one I posted was . . .



Which was in October of '08. Where the hell have I been?

[Celebration]

48. Hey, another welcome back

Although I came after you left...........I like that reptile. Not sure that I can think of a song title to go with it, though.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

49. yeah, where the hell have you been

anyway?

you and I came the same month it seems

[ET Awful]

50. Just been out working for a living and such . . .

Been a very hectic and busy year.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

54. I can relate

welcome home

[Blue_In_AK]

51. Good morning, ET..

It's been a while. :)

[Adsos Letter]

52. After using the archive search I find that this was actually my first post in the Photo Group.

May 17, 2007.

Taken when I moved my daughter back East to start Med School.

Gazing out over the Great Basin, and saying goodbye to California:

[Itchinjim]

53. Good Old 707

Posted this back in Sept? of 06. 2meg Sony. Sadly 707 has probably been comsumed by now. He was a good steer and I feel honored to have known him for all of thirty seconds or so.

[regnaD kciN]

63. ...and that's no bull!

:evilgrin:

When she was a young girl, my wife visited some relatives who owned a cattle ranch in Colombia, and was told that two of the latest calves had been named after her and her sister. She was traumatized a few years later, when she asked them how "her cow" was, and was told "delicious."

[JeffR]

55. Thanks, everyone, for sharing these photos again.

:yourock:

[Behind the Aegis]

57. My first contest one was....

"I have my eyes on you"



PS...does anyone know how to get rid of the little box next to the picture?

[Blue_In_AK]

59. To get riid of the box

you have to delete the IMG (with the brackets) at the beginning of the link... Sorry, if I type IMG with the brackets it ends up looking like this

[Behind the Aegis]

60. Thanks!!!

(Maine Coon kitty thanks you too!)

[Blue_In_AK]

61. Nice kitty.

Very serious-looking. :)

[Behind the Aegis]

62. He's one of the 12 stray kitties that come to visit my home.

Sadly, I haven't seen in him in months. :(

Thanks again. I was so sick of seeing that stupid box!
