SPRING Photo contest, update

[Mz Pip]

Just a heads up! I will post the SUBMISSION THREAD on June 1. It will not be a blind submissions contest.

Sadly, I broke my wrist in 4 places on May 1 and want to keep this as simple and familiar as possible for me. Pretty much everything I do on the computer is one handed left handed typing.

Happy shooting!

1. Sorry about your wrist!

I did the same several weeks ago.

Take it easy! Take care of yourself! Pamper yourself and let others pamper you as well.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. ouch! feel better soon! sending some

bone-mending vibes your way

[bluedigger]

3. Sorry to hear about your wrist.

Hope you heal quickly.

Is it just me, or is breaking a limb becoming a Photography Group rite of passage?

[Solly Mack]

5. I was thinking the same thing.

Let's hope not though.

[Mz Pip]

6. I hope not

I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I can't even get dressed without help much less use a camera.

We're driving down to Cambria for a couple of days. Maybe some iPhone photos will be doable.

[bluedigger]

7. I would imagine a broken wrist is pretty inconvenient.

Makes the whole arm useless except for balance. Enjoy your trip!

8. We're so busy looking for photos, we trip and fall.

[bluedigger]

9. You, too?!

That's it, I'm putting my camera away until I get health insurance!

[alfredo]

10. I've had several falls. Once the camera broke my fall. The camera survived.

When I was a mail carrier I'd have at least one fall a year.

[bluedigger]

11. I learned to ski when I was five.

The first thing you learn is "how to fall". I've never had a diagnosed broken bone in my 53 years, although I'm pretty sure I cracked a rib once playing basketball, and possibly hairline fractured my hip, although the xrays were negative. Oh yeah, definitely shattered my pisiform (the lumpy one on the outside of your wrist). Most folks that know me assume I have a cracked skull as well. Who can argue?

[alfredo]

12. After some thought, a broke wrist is preferable to a cracked skull. Mz Pip made a wise decision

to go with the wrist option.

[bluedigger]

13. LOL!

Yeah, her wrist will heal, eventually.

[alfredo]

17. But she will gain a super power that allows her to sense approaching storms.

16. WHAT! You are off the trail.

And have illness in the family. You know I'm very sorry to read that.
The only thing that's a bit mitigating here is the glory of those shots. Knowing you can produce this I won't even think about entering anything. Just trust me on that.

14. A wrist injury

is horrible and it's really difficult when it's your right hand( or left if left handed)
I have a partially torn tendon in mine and it's hard to do anything!
Hope your wrist heals fast!

[Mira]

15. It makes me sad to think you are hurt.

I'm sorry about it, I understand the frustration. Let me know if it gets hard, and I'll help or take over.
Your photo is Monet - like - lovely. A winner if you could enter it

[Celebration]

18. oh, heal well!

So sorry about the wrist................

But the photo is absolutely gorgeous!
