The 5th Annual Tortoise Calendar Photo Contest is HERE!

[laney]

I'd like to see about 3-4 times as many submissions as we currently have. YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!

Let us newbies apply

I have been sorting and sorting. I dont have an editor program on my computer how do I get to the required 5 megapixel size?

When you put it into your computer from the camera, don't make it smaller. Just save it as is. If your computer picture program automatically re-sizes your pictures, then I don't know what to tell you. DON'T use photobucket for this contest because photobucket automatically re-sizes the pictures to smaller (less pixels) pictures.

Do you put your pictures into a picture program that is loaded on your computer BEFORE you put them into photobucket? You just write up your email to the photo contest address, then click on "attach" and look for the picture in your computer and attach it to the email.

You have a great camera!!

Only one submission allowed, ugh this will be hard for me to choose . Any rules for or against an informal poll in the photo section. In other words , can I post a few different ones and ask for a vote before I pick the one to submit?

Laurie...go with your gut! I did a poll last year...and then went with an entirely different photo. As it turned out, I finished second to Greg!

I still don't understand the whole no noobs thing. Kind of a bummer deal.

I think it's a good idea. 30 day membership is reasonable, a lot of people don't stick around.
