Hi everyone,

We'd also like to say thanks again for our sponsor Quik Pod. The Quik Pod DSLR is the world's first monopod with a grip handle at the base. It is lightweight (9 ounces), has a quick release camera clip and a built-in wide angle mirror for viewing overhead shots or self-portraits. The handle at the base doubles as an extendable handheld grip for cameras, camcorders or lighting holder and provides a low center of gravity foot for support when used as a monopod.

Comes with a carry bag, hiking clip, wrist strap, aluminum end cap and rubberized monopod adapter tip. Extends to 53" and contracts to 18". Recommended camera weight limit of 2 lbs.

*150KB will be taken as the “size on disk” and not the actual file size. Also some email programs consider 1KB=1000Bytes as oppposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger then they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.

You need to delete that last sentence.

Sounds like an interesting theme ... I have a few ideas that I'll have to look through and experiment with for this one.

I was wondering that too... I can't think of anything that combines all three colors..

there are usually no 'rules' to this competition (as far as execution goes). Just see what comes to mind. Of course, when someone submits a picture of a purple candle for this contest, a lot of people may not vote for it...

Oh and Big Bully: if you can't find these colors somewhere together, just bring 'm together yourself.



good luck everybody!

Unfortunately, I have not found this to be true on these forums ... many photos get LOTS of votes when the photos have nothing to do with the theme.
