I'm overwhelmed and so excited by this & would like to say thank you all very much, both for the votes, and for the lovely comments, so many of you have made. Like @m9f9I I've decided to go for a theme: Water: in any way, shape or form that you can think of. It's your interpretation that we are looking for!
This is a great deal of fun as well as being a cool learning experience
Hope katy @grammyn & @m9f9I don't mind but I'm just going to copy and revise their explanation:
ETSOOI is an acronym started by MaryBeth @espeyetta that means EDITING THE SORRY-NESS OUT OF IT. It is what we do when there is a need to post a shot and we have taken nothing impressive enough for the day.
I also like calling it "edit the stuffing out of it".
The challenge will start today and run until Saturday the 23rd of June. Your picture must be taken during that time. Voting of the top 5 will begin and end on Sunday the 24th. (from midnight to midnight in your timezone) The winner will host the next challenge and choose a theme for a new subject.
Tag your photos ETSOOI-3 and have fun! You may also post them here if you like.
@m9f9l@fannyb Thank you both, I am looking forward to your contributions and for those of you who are unsure about etsooi, these are mine from previous challenges:
@crisd Thank you - that is beautiful - don't forget to tag with "ETSOOI-3" and be aware that the dates for inclusion are the Monday 18th June to Saturday the 23rd of June and voting takes place on the Sunday
@crisd@vito69 These are both stunningly beautiful water captures but do you realise that this is an editing challenge? As in entries are usually edited beyond recognition! There are numerous editing programs on the internet that you can access - I usually enter "photo editor free online" into a search engine like 'google' and then pick and choose from what's on offer. You can start with a shot containing water or add water effects or edit for 'watery' effects - there is almost no limit to this challenge!
I hope this is helpful for you.
@aurorajane To post a photo:
1) Go to YOUR page that has the photo
2) Bottom right side of YOUR page will be the word "SHARE:" then a box with some computer codes (the right of it says copy and paste)
3) high light that code and copy it
4) go to the page you want to post your picture - paste it in your comment.
5) once you enter it will show up
Oky doky - here is two firsts. Putting a picture in a different place other than my calendar and an attempt at ETSOOI. And Kathy - thank you so much - couldn't have done it without you :)
@grammyn@m9f9l I am terribly sorry to do this but I have had a minor accident & blown several ligaments in my knee - I am immobilized and cannot access a computer - would one of you, please, be able to take over this challenge as my phone and I are not up to the task. My apologies to everyone for any inconvenience.
@m9f9l I think you would be great at it again unless you totally don't want to! I have company for the next week and a half and COULD do it but would rather not if possible! @kittikat So sorry to hear about your misfortune!!!
Tweets ahoy!
