No, Elsinore, you got it right.

jekxrb you might want to suggest a farm theme. I don’t think we’ve done one yet, and it sounds like you have some good photos for that theme.

http://www.naturephotographers.net/index.html This site gives some good examples, A couple cityscapes are included, I really don”t know why, but the other photos really show the full range of nature photography. the pictures tend to focus on wildlife photography, but my photos area going to concentrate on landscapes, and, if I can find my negatives, underwater photography.

I don’t want to be much of a thread nazi. I really did not give too many limitations to this contest. I hope people will police themselves. If they feel the photo represents a view of the natural world, they should submit it. If its really questionable, save it for another contest.

The same reason an ant hill or termite mound would be included 😛

Also, lucky me I’m back in the boonies for spring break! I should go out and take photos for this tomorrow.

I was wondering that myself but then I thought “if you can’t tell it’s in a zoo…” So far as I know, all ‘zoo’ animals are ‘natural’.

Got a question about adding links to an entry.

If I post an image for voting, can I also post a link that ‘pops’ to a similar shot but taken from a different angle?

Yeah, I’m thinking if it isn’t a picture of a wild animal in an obviously human environment (e.g. a fox in the middle of a road, obvious cages/fences showing), it should be fine. Morningbreath can clarify if that isn’t the case.

While MorningBreath decides, here is an excellent article that inspired me to visit the zoo last fall. Check out all three pages if you’re interested. Some of the top wildlife photographers make a good living selling their images taken at the zoo. I managed to get several keepers using their methods.

Zoo photographs are fine, as long as they fit the theme. I don’t think it is possible to police that anyway.

I spent a couple of hours in the woods this weekend with my camera and 100 mm macro as the only lens. Pretty cool stuff out there when you look closely. 300-some pics later, there are a few that I like.

I imagine that there will be some really good pics this week with such a wide open theme. Folks will be scouring their hard drives for the good stuff. At least one of my ‘possibles’ is a few years old.

Question for the mods – My Mom, 66 years old and working 60 hours a week because she wants to, has been following my (and your) Farktography for the past six months or so. She’s really starting to get into it. While she is an extreme novice with photography, probably doesn’t know what an f-stop is, she is also one to embrace all that life has to offer. I’ve been bugging her to take some pics and enter them. Tonight, she sent me a couple pics that she took and would like my help in getting them onto Fark.

Would it be okay if I added them to my image-hosting site and she entered them using her sign-on and password? I don’t see a problem as long as they are her photos, but I don’t want to rattle anybody’s cage.

I’m excited for her. I know that we’re small-beans, but it is still pretty cool. By the way, she’s probably the neatest lady I have ever had the privledge to know. Look for “Mopsy”.
