Folks, the October 'Pink' contest has some of the best photos we've ever received. We've built five galleries to show them off. Later, I'll introduce our judge ... she's pretty interesting! Gallery 1 | Gallery 2 | Gallery 3 | Gallery 4 | Gallery 5
seems my flickr acct had expired ... just renewed it ... can I still get a photo in the galleries? (I had originally submitted it before my acct expired) ... thanx

Holly, run a search on Flickr on the 4 contest tags to see if Flickr has found your new account yet. And email a link to your photo page to raw@boston.com.

My October "pink" entry doesn't appear in any of the galleries. It was submitted in mid-October and was properly tagged. Do you eliminate photos as you do the galleries?

I have the same question as Carolyn. I checked my entry (posted Oct 21), it appears to have the correct tags and I cannot find it on any of the galleries. I might also add that the various stipulations, miscellaneous ids and passwords, and vague instructions make this contest a challenge in itself.

Hi, Pat -- there really aren't any miscellaneous IDs or passwords required ... entering the contest is really quite easy: You just upload your contest photo to your Flickr account, then add the 4 separate tags for that month's contest. And the tags follow a pattern, so I'm sure you'll get used to it:
boston.com
contest
monthyear (such as October2009)
theme (such as pink)
Once in awhile, such as in the current November contest, we require that the photo be taken within the month of the contest -- that idea came from other photographers like yourself as a way to get us all out and about shooting photos.
Meanwhile, send a link to your contest photo to raw@boston.com and I'll take a look at it.

Welcome to your community for New England's amateur photographers. Take pictures ... get published ... win money ... have a blast!
Convey emotion, set a mood, or create an air of mystery ... silhouettes can convey a lot in a handful of pixels. It's a challenging theme; position your subject in front of a light source, and expose for the light. One rule: Your photo must be taken this month. Deadline: Midnight November 30
Lee's photography has followed the path of his life: From landscapes in his beloved Maine, to images of the urban landscape when he moved to Boston, to photos of his children. And even though technical skill is important to his work, his main goal is to have fun.
