I agree, but at least this is far better than the last contest which basically rewarded complete spamming for extra tickets. You can hit 100 posts in a month without trying too hard.

Suggestions? This style of competition is really fair, in that anyone can win.

I agree. And really there's going to be a lot of members who keep up the photo posts and comments after the contest is over.

I for one have always wanted to take a more active interest here but things get in way and I just didn't. Now I'm motivated and think I'll continue to more involved after the contests are over. TBH relatively few of my post this week have been fluff entirely IMO. I've discovered I have more to share than I realized

I have found that the "Troubleshooting and Beginner Help" section is a good place to help people. And I like to welcome new members in the "Welcomes and Introductions" section. That area probably accounts for most of my posts, other than the WIBAK3 thread. In most other areas, I do more reading than writing. Lots to learn as always.

Given the volume of posts i make, I doubt I'll make it into the ring. Great contest nonetheless!

Given the lack of free time i have, three boys that keep me an the boss extremely busy, i typically try to spend any free time behind the lens.

Good luck everyone!

I'm not sure why people are so focused on that shoe cap .... but if it keeps their mind off the * 11-18mm, that is fine with me.
