Posted By: Adam, 08-31-2010, 05:10 PM

The theme for the official PentaxForums.com photo contest for September, 2010 is:

Reflections
As in "mirror image", not as in "thought". The rest is up to you.

To submit a photo, make a new thread in the submission sub-forum.
There will be two prizes for the winner of this contest and of future contests: featuring in our premier gallery, as well as 100 forum reputation points- a large step toward 'Pentaxian' status, added attachment space, and Marketplace access!

As usual, please do not post your submissions in this thread; see above! Limit one photo per user. Good luck to all participants! If this is your first contest, you may be interested in reading the articles below:

I cannot see my entry photo, but the thread is listed; nothing but a blank screen saying done when I click on it ...

Hi, Adam...

I submitted my photo in a new thread on Contest Submissions. I see it listed, but when I try to open it nothing is there. Did I do something wrong? Please advise... without being able to see it I can't edit or revise it. Oh, and my shutter speed is .8... how does that translate to the drop down list? 1/8s?

Thank you!
Davina

P.S. I also accidentally turned off the green checkmark which I think notifies me if anyone responds to my submission or post... how do I get that back? Sorry!

Just click on the checkbox again, and you'll be resubscribed. I'm checking your photo now.

Thanks, Adam... but, I can't get into the thread to reselect the checkmark, or do anything. I see the photo when I click on the attachment from the forum list, but nothing when I click on my thread specifically. From reading other posts, it seems like some others are having the same problem. As long as you can see it and I can be part of the voting, that's all that matters. I really just wanted to reselect the checkmark and update my shutter speed (once I find out the eqivalent to .8... to me that is 8/10, but I don't see that option on the pull down list. I did write it in my comments, though. Can you see those???)

Sorry to be such a bother...

Yes, but only I can edit them after the thread has been posted.

There's a 1s option from the dropdown, should I check that for you?

That would be great! Thank you... and, if possible could you also re-check the green check mark for me? So, when it comes to the "tenths" shutter speed, just round to the closest number... is that right?

Thanks so much for your help!!!

Sincerely, Davina =)

I can't subscribe you to a thread, but yes, that's the general rule of thumb.

To find your thread easily, though, just click on my activity>my threads in the upper-right, or click on your username in the above post, and select "find threads my dsimaitis". Hope this helps!

Hello
I am trying to submit a photo for the contest that I have already uploaded for critique- Nature Barry's Bay Morning-. I get an error message preventing it from being posted. Am I breaking a rule or simply missing the procedure?

regards
Stewart

Never mind; I think I figured it out.
