I've photographed this clock at different times of the day and evening and in every season, but never thought of shooting it in black and white.

Taken yesterday on my walk home from work.

20. A long, long time ago

a branch of my family came down from the mountains. They brought the music and the dance of their former home with them. I grew up knowing the difference between a hootenanny and a hoedown....and a keen appreciation for the haunting melodies of the Appalachians. I still break into a buck dance/flat foot from time to time. My dogs love it. lol (Cause I only do it when no one else is home)

30. There are times when the full-blown hick comes out of me. I'm a flatlander, but the

music of the mountains, and the four part harmony of the gospel have stayed with me as an urbanite.

I think four part harmony was referred to as four corner. There was also a thing called shape note.

This groups sings shape note.

Finally getting around to working on some for fun. I liked yours from the fall contest taken at night, one reason is I had to look twice as it reminded me of a nighttime desert at first look. Hope you are still enjoying the grandbabies and getting you fill of hugs & kisses.

I'm trying to decide if I like yours better in black & white or color. It is wonderful in both.

26. Is it time (next contest) to up the KB allowed?

I had a heck of a time shrinking my B/W down. And, frankly, it is a bit lossy from the original The newer high-res cameras seem to start losing a bit when you take 800x X and then shrink below 250K.

Could we consider upping that to 300, or 350?

It kills me to save to medium-low quality jpeg. Surely, anyone who bothers to look at our contests is on broadband by now. I'd love to see the maximum dimension increased to 1024 as well. There can't be that many 15" monitors left out there.

AM I WRONG remembering you won first place with a photo of a meadow with some farm equipment in the foreground on the left.
Tell me I'm wrong.

Some are pros, some aren't. When they start talking their fancy talk I am clueless what they are talking about.
For instance the thread about photo size that got pinned to the top today. If they want them bigger I will use photobucket and click on the next larger size. That's all she wrote, because that's all I understand.

but, really - I think the good cameras are "exposed" in this competition. It seems more noticeable in B/W. I am in way over my head.

I am not sure what you are talking about. I have never won a contest here. I don't think I have ever made the semi-finals even.

I do have a photo of a meadow (?) with a truck (?) somewhere in my photobucket that I think I entered -maybe- a couple of years ago

but, Yeah this B/W contest is amazing. I wish I could afford a decent camera. Actually, I wish I was better with the one I have

60. When writing, you go over your draft and remove what isn't

needed to advance the story. Black and white edits out the color that distracts from, or doesn't advance the story you want to tell.

B&W gives one a lot freedom because there is no expectation of reality. In color everyone knows the color of a brick or a blade of grass, and expect it to be that color. B&W makes the viewer see beyond the color. B&W is liberating.

I do some color occasionally but B&W is now, and always will be, where my heart is at.

This is my third contest entry and, judging by the competition, I'm thinking that I'll not win this one either. These are almost all spectacular.
