Take a shot that represents a favorite place you visit, a favorite place you go to shoot, a representative shot of your nieghborhood, county..backyard even! Pretend you are shooting for a postcard or a travel article about your nieghborhood/area. It could be a favorite restraunt, and scenic spot, or even your front porch! You decide. This will help us all get a feel for where we all live too... some travel photgraphy links Travel Photo Tips - about.com Travel photo info - Fodors I hope everyone enjoys this new adventure we are undertaking! Here's an example.....from a display in a park I like to visit...

Woo Hoo This is gonna be so much fun!!! As for the number of submissions, how about 2......It always seems like as soon as I submit mine I end up with something I like better the next day...so if we have 2 then we all have a chance to add an extra. Seems like once I start fiddlng with something in a challenge I end up playing with it for several days in a row. I always get too excited at the beginning of a challenge and can't wait to post something and by the end of the week I have something that's usually better and I can't post it (on other sites...) So since that's how my brain works I thought maybe some of your might work the same way. (now that's a scary thought!) Great work you guys! Keep em coming!!! :flower: :wahoo:

HELPPPPPP! :flower:

When I go through all of them, I'll hopefully be able to help out on questions like yours....see by making ya'll wait that gives me time look up answers to questions I don't know LOL

It is an Island in the Niagara River. So- the blue bridges and the water are what first comes to mind when I think of my town.

But, when I think of Flagstaff AZ I think of our mountains, the San Francisco Peaks. Here is one that I took as the sun was setting a couple weeks ago. I have it posted on SOA. This site made me have such a strong feeling that my mom and dad were saying hello to me. I dedicated this one to them.
