NEW ETSOOI-31 Starting Now!

March 9th, 2014
ETSOOI (Edit The Sh** Out Of It) is an acronym started by MaryBeth @espyetta.

Taken a shot that doesn't quite hit the mark? Or taken a shot you want to take to a surreal or extraordinarily creative level, well take it on a trip to PS/Photomatix/befunky/picasa/ribbet/picmonkey etc. etc. etc. and go wild in the paintbox. Transform the mundane or dull and dreary to delicious and delightful and have fun in the process. Yeah that's right … Fun!

Thanks very much to @bethanyjay for hosting the last ETSOOI challenge and thanks to all of you who voted for my photo. I've read the history of this challenge and see there has been a lot of talk about switching back and forth between themes and theme-free. Since the last few were themed, lets go for theme-free this week. So go nuts with whatever you can come up with and are inspired by.

The challenge will start today, Sunday, March 9th, and run until next Sunday, March 16th. Please tag your entries etsooi-31. I'll choose my top 5 and post them on Tuesday, March 18th. Have fun and get ETSOOing!

by theme-free do you mean the theme is "free" or there is no set theme and we can do whatever we want this week?

@jsw0109 - meaning no theme so you can use whatever pic subject you want!

@michaelelliott @jsw0109 Neon green bard with zoom burst coming out from the door. Haha! Just kidding! I am going to TRY to jump in the ETSOOI fray this week! No theme will help me try.

@espyetta - hey you started this challenge way back. Be cool to have you jump in again.

@michaelelliott Actually Katy @grammyn started it for me. But I told her I wanted her to. I was too shy really to talk "out on the website" back then.

@michaelelliott wooooo hoooo freedom! Thanks Michael!

Thanks for a theme-free choice -- I love these! Will post one today! Oh darn..the photo is from yesterday and I edited it today, so I don't think it can count. Oh well...will post it anyway and do another one later this week.

@taffy @michaelelliott Does it need to be taken in the time frame?
March 10th, 2014
@bella_ss I don't know for sure...I'm just assuming it needs to be taken and edited within the time frame, but maybe it can just be edited. Let's see what Michael or others say.

@taffy I just went back and found an older thread which said it does need to be taken within the time frame :)
March 10th, 2014
I'm in :-)

@bella_ss @taffy - yes the photo and edit needs to be within the current time frame to be eligible for selection into the voting round.

While at first I thought perhaps just the edit needed to be timely, the competitions are really about motivating people to shoot each day to help stay on their 365 track. So makes sense as the history has held to make shot and edit within the current week's shooting.

@michaelelliott thanks Michael, that makes sense. I thought I had read that you could use an older photo but I must have got my wires crossed :)
