POTM

[Noobalicious]

Just a brief post to let everyone know that the picture of the month(POTM) will be starting up again.

 

My name is Steve and I will be working along with another Steve(FearTheTerps) to help collect the entries and run the polls.

 

Hopefully we will be able to get a lot of support with user entries.

 

 

Why is this something you want to participate in?

 

I find that this is a hobby that many people are quite passionate about. Probably many of you are already active in taking pictures of your tanks. This is a great opportunity for you to share your setup/pets with other members of the club that wouldn't otherwise ever get to see your tanks. Who knows, maybe your picture may inspire someone else.

 

Plus, did you know that there is a prize? Each winner of the POTM will receive raffle tickets for use at our quarterly meeting.

 

You do not have to be a photographer for your entries to win. Many times the subject of the picture/luck of the shot outweighs the technical aspects. And even if you aren't submitting pictures, please make sure to have a share by participating in the polls for the winner.

 

The post for the March POTM will be up this evening, so get your cameras ready

Don't know if this is how it works, but I got to recommend Laurie's lionfish picture. Best shot I've seen in a while.

The way it is supposed to work, is everyone has 3 weeks to submit photos for the announced topic of the month.

 

Generally, you would be submitting your own pics and not submitting pics that someone else has taken. You will have the opportunity to vote for the submissions in a poll during the last week of each month.

 

However, with that having been said, it is Laurie's lion fish picture that was the inspiration for the March theme. I'm hoping she will enter the pic for the contest.

Yes, please do not use someone else's picture without asking them first! I know that the intention was to enter her picture into it, not to take it, but thought I'd take this opportunity to say that!

[Laurie]

This is great. Thanks for the premature nomination. Yes, I would like to officially enter this pic.

 

If I can enter more than one, here is another view that I would like to submit.

Along the same lines as the previous picture...

 

 

Enjoy!
