07-04-12 – Tiny…Tracts of Land

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those contests where if its close its good and just hope the voters like you.

Pretty much. It will be difficult drawing a clear line, particularly for casual folks who don’t frequent the forum here. I’ll try to police truly egregious ones, however, this brings me to the more important piece for me, which is….

I’m about to head out of town for a Girl Scout camping trip with 10 giggling 9-10 year olds, 100+ degree heat, and not nearly enough coffee or booze. We leave tomorrow afternoon, and won’t get back until Saturday, however, I will immediately be heading to family stuff that may run late into the night, depending on whether the burn/fireworks ban still stands or not. Soooo, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do the usual thread closing/congrats. I’ll try to squeeze it in, but can’t promise. The bigger issue is that I won’t be able to police the thread after noon tomorrow, so if there are entries needing envotinating, or issues with entries that are egregiously breaking the rules HDR, stitching, etc), then you guys will need to submit a farkback. I will also have a couple of the other mods stop by to check on the thread from time to time, but they obviously won’t be as familiar with specific Farktography rules and may not catch issues with post-processing stuff.

We’ll watch the store for you. Have as much fun as the heat allows.

TY, Barracuda it’s the ‘intimacy’ thing I think I’m missing, though I do like the shots in general.

When I first saw this I thought that there was just nothing I could use, but I was heading up to go hiking so I figured I’d take my camera just in case. It was awesome because it made me look at the place I usual hike from a whole different perspective. I’m used to looking at the Rockies and being awed by the big picture, I didn’t know until now how incredibly beautiful the small picture is. Thanks

What I liked about this theme is that it made you see things differently. I went along with my granddaughter trout fishing in the creek behind our house. Was sitting on a log while she continued over fallen trees and took several pics that were close to my viewing spot. Would probably have missed their beauty if not for this theme.
