My Mood:  | 3,000th post/3 years here contest.
Well, this is my 3,000th post, and I've been a member here for nearly 3 years. I haven't held a contest since shortly after I first joined. I appreciate cointalk, and the fact that it has greatly inhanced my collecting experience. So here is a small token of appreciation. This contest is going to be a little different. Its going to be a photography contest. But NOT coin photography. Outdoor photography. Now when I say outdoor photography that could be a nature scene or a city scene, or whatever. Just any outdoor photography.
The rules are that everyone gets to enter only one photo. You should post a link to it in this thread. The pictures will be judged by myself and several people who I know in real life. Having most of the jugdes be people who aren't cointalkers should eliminate any possible bias. I will run this contest untill Friday, July 3rd. That should give plenty of people time to enter and/or go out and take their photos. Oh yeah, and you must have been a member here as of May 31 of this year. I think that covers everything. So, here are the prizes:
1st place: A 1945 S PCGS MS66 RED Lincoln Wheat Cent.
2nd place: A 1942 P Walkling Liberty Half Dollar in around XF.
3rd place: A 1972 Mint Set.
Let me know if you have any questions.

But yeah. It could be a building, an animal, a mountain, people walking down the street. Just about anything.
And yes, you should just post the link in this thread.

Here is mine... Taken by me at the zoo, I'm not a fan of zoos, or giraffe's but this was a photo I couldn't resist taking
"So Close and Yet So Far"
I thought this was neat, because the giraffe is HUGE, he is a giant, and yet, he couldn't even reach what he wanted!
I have much more photos, but this will be my entry
Thanks for the contest   | |

I suppose we take the picture ourselves and not one found on the internet? Will we have to prove it in any way that we were the ones to take it?  | |
