I was totally uninterested in this contest until a few days ago when, as others have related, I started going through the archive. Then I started to get into it. After seeing the initial entries tonight, I am very pleasantly surprised at how cool many of the entries are.
Also, if corsec67 ever gets sick or anything and needs a stand in photographer, I volunteer.
I wasn’t much into it, either, until I started going through my files. Here’s two that didn’t make it:
those kicked tripod ones were from last fall when I was hobbling around with a post-op knee in a full-leg cast on enough vicodin to bring down most folks. I’m surprised I didn’t fall into the lake, looking back on it now.

November 20, 2008 at 2:13 am #19695Choc-Ful-AParticipantThe background stories are a huge part of the appeal for many of the images this week. I just snorted out loud reading the 2008-11-19 09:08:07 PM entry from lady_nocturne. There’s lots of others where the explanation adds to the image too, that’s just the latest example. I’m really enjoying reviewing the queue as it builds.

November 20, 2008 at 3:26 am #19698ElsinoreKeymasterIt’s on its way.
November 20, 2008 at 3:45 am #19699wrayvynnParticipantI…really…don’t have anything even remotely interesting…I may sit this one out:( I went through my archives today and all I have are your average run of the mill bad shots.

November 20, 2008 at 4:01 am #19701orionidParticipantI didn’t have my complete archives to go through since my desktop is still on it’s way from hawaii, but out of the last couple months worth I did have a couple good’ns. Here’s my rejects:
Don’t stand too close to a door frame while using the flash.
Saw the sunset first. Said “Ooooh.” Saw the rainbow second. Said “Aaahhh.” Saw the colors brought out by the sunset and said “Oh, Shiat, I need my camera.”
Forgot about that whole manual/auto lever thingy after taking star trails the night before.
Manual stereo lens + bad focus + poor arperture/shutter choice + dogspasm = Jack Blurssel Terrier in 3D!

Thanks for the heads-up! It really was an accident/failed experiment, too.
Elsinore, can you please enable voting on that one? If not, I can re-post.

November 20, 2008 at 5:47 am #19707corsec67ParticipantToo early to say that this is an insta-classic?
These entries are very cool.
