AT THE BUSCH GARDEN,WILLIAMSBURG,VA
sorry, another shot of the river in the early am, bit dark and light, but I like it anyway :)
Sunrise early am over the Johnstone River, Innisfail, far north Queensland.
This picture was ntaken in the mt walsh national park very early in the morrning with a 400D canon 18/55 lens iso 100 18sec shuter speed
A peaceful stream rolls through the woodlands, bringing a sense of peace throughout the area on a fair day. / Photograph taken in Yankee Lake, New York, USA /
25 submissions. 10 submissions. 2_ submission maximum for a beloved group?? Say it ain’t so! It’s always my next shot that I wanted in there the _most! Whaaaa! Then I got blocked out of adding more images to Rabbit, rabbit! Damn it, IT’S MY GROUP!!!! That was the last straw but I lost most of my chagrin when I looked for my four submissions in another group I co-host, The Artist Nude. I looked for them for about an hour before I realized I wasn’t going to see them there unless I knew where to look for them. And of course, I could remember the shots and see them any time I wanted – just not in the group with “1665 members, 8682 images, 94 T-Shirt designs, 164 written works, [and] 131 journal entries”. Humbling to say the least. Well, I’m not the bestest photographer in the sea and my nude shots aren’t worthy of highest honours or even featuring. I’m not being humble now; I’m being realistic and honest now. So what’s a guy like me supposed to do when you either run into the group limitations wall or get buried by a landslide of better images on a daily basis? Quit. No really. Quit. Split from the group and rejoin or pull everything from it, if you know all that you submitted. After all, you can always rejoin (well, usually always, as long as it wasn’t invitational and your welcome is worn thinner than a hooker’s bra straps). And the bonus is that you can trickle your stuff back into a group you love and be on the front page for at least 20 or 30 seconds in a group as massive as The Artist Nude. With a limit of just two images per day, if everyone plays fair and the hosts get it all cleared daily, you can only expect 32,000 or so tomorrow. Front page news? By the time you’ve submitted it, you’re on page 14 and you can’t find it with an electron microscope unless it was featured. And if losing everything from a group is too painful, I can always dump one and resubmit it immediately. Unless the mods have changed and hate it this time, you’re back in business for a few more seconds. Woo hoo! I’m not feeling like I’ve been limited or blocked anymore. As soon as I see one of those darn grayed out boxes in my submission options, that group (or all my submissions to it) is dumped and I start over fresh as a baby’s bottom – i.e. not always that “fresh” but some of my work is crap anyway. Suddenly, I have a new account in Red Bubble! I have OPTIONS! I have CHOICES! I have FREEDOM!!!! But I’m still gonna increase that foolish TINY amount of submissions in Rabbit, rabbit! Hehehe! PS Tho most of you assume, I’m saying this for the rest who don’t know me well: I don’t approve my own submissions anywhere. I don’t feature them either. The other host(s) can do that if they want to and I wouldn’t even ask why a piece of mine was rejected. I figure I could take advantage of my positions and that would make it that much harder for the members I cherish to get THEIR good work in. PPS I forgot about those freakin groups that don’t accept journal entries for some damned fool reason. It’s not like they’re wasting space in your MAILBOX! Arrghhh! Darn it! Mad again!!!!! :-D
