Walking and chewing gum at the same time - thinking about Feb while waiting for the Winter contest

[Mira]

Let's start by thinking about a theme.

I want to propose 5 of them, and if you want to add 5 more then I'll cut it off and we'll poll the group with the 10 potentials, I may then narrow it down to a run-off between the fore runners the way Tabatha did.
I liked that.

==============
I made a commitment to a suggestion from GD:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x196900

The suggestion, at the heels of the shooting in Tucson, was

Civility and Respect

Macro - close - up
I add that one because I don't know how to do it, so while I can't enter here it is for you Macro lovers

Pattern(s)

Personal Favorite from 2010

Black and White / Portrait of a Child

===========

I'm starting a few days before the month turns - because of the Winter contest coming as well - and because February has a few less days to work with.

Add your ideas...I'm always curious

[bluedigger]

1. Seeing how it's February...

how about "Love"?:loveya:

[Mira]

2. What you did is

suggest the obvious. I'll surely add it.

This may well win the nod for theme.

[bluedigger]

3. I'm a Master of the Obvious.

Not that it does me any good. I got nuthin'.:rofl:

[Mira]

4. You are also a Master of the Action Shot

so this could get interesting.

5. ::please choose macro, please choose macro::

(EF! has been contemplating a macro lens purchase...)

This way I can justify the immediacy of it and blame it on the DU Photo group when Mrs. EF! flips her lid!

:rofl:

[Mira]

6. You are making me laugh out loud...

I have a vote, I might just do that for you.:rofl:

I found a macro lens for my Sony alpha camera on Craigslist. A simple one, at half price.
I am meeting with a guy at McDonalds at the children's slide at noon on Saturday. I'm being specific so WJMS's imagination can get going again.
After that, in all probability, I'll have a macro lens too!!!

7. Kicking - this post requires input if you have thoughts about a theme for

the February contest.

[Saphire]

8. how about Food, Colorful or Red (Valentine).

[Mira]

12. Saphire, I won't use Red, because we did that about 12-16 months ago

and a spectacular contest it was!!!

But I will give a spot to "Colorful Food"in our poll,
which would be quite an interesting topic because of the different ways people will photograph the same sort of things...

I do not know how to search the Photo group archives, which is a hindrance to me at times like this.

9. Kicking.

" I get a kick out of you"...
How's that for a Feb. theme.

[alfredo]

10. I'm willing to try anything.

[Mira]

11. Kicking - I'll leave this up for ideas - til sometime on the 1st -

by then I may know the Winter contest schedule and try to give you the February schedule.

[alfredo]

13. I like the "personal favorite of 2010" idea.
