Hi everyone

I have entered a photo competition to try and win some money for the RSPCA.....
I have 3 pictures entered and I was hoping some of you might be kind enough to vote on them....so they get through to the next round.

these are the links for each photo.

Done, and have done very well. Congrats for your photos :)

[BMKal]

Done - I like the third photo best, very interesting effect.:)

[TwoUp]

This would be another vote done and on 3, but I like one as it reminds me when Mrs TwoUp and I picked up a pup from (I think it was Bankstown RSPCA, could be wrong) Sydney and had a lovely 12 years with him.

[V8Ian]

Unethical but done, for a good cause.;)

I have never in all my life seen such a gratuitous, fatuous, shameless grab for votes..................................:p




I voted for the third!! :D But I loved the other two as well Lou...good luck. I love the RSPCA...most of our dogs have come from there....great work.

[dullbird]

Unethical but done, for a good cause.;)

May I ask why you think it is unethical?

You don't have to vote....you can vote for someone else.

[V8Ian]

Too late Lou, I saw no other options and had to vote for you.:D
Voting is compulsary is it not.;)
Good luck.:)

[V8Ian]

Ignore him Lou,He's just a troublemaker;)He escaped from the looney threads.:o
With the bloke who had trouble getting it up:o

[dullbird]

I feel bad :(

I hope everyone realises that you can vote more than once so if you wish you could vote for every picture in the gallery if you wanted to

[adm333]

Nope, I voted for yours.

Although I did like the little lab puppy with the blue coat.

[V8Ian]

Oh,don't. Gan Gan was only funnin' with you.:)Everyone supports you,both for who you are,and for what you do.:)Just enjoy it all DB and keep up the good work.:BigThumb:

[hiline]

[dullbird]

LMFAO.....:Rolling: there not secret anymore though!!

[hiline]

LMFAO.....:Rolling: there not secret anymore though!!

me and my big mouth :angel:

[V8Ian]

:oops2:Can I come back now, I promise to be good.:(

[Searover]

Done, good luck and you need to share how you did the last shot for us rank amateurs:)

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

:arms: Done! :clap2:

[dullbird]

Done, good luck and you need to share how you did the last shot for us rank amateurs:)

The last shot was.......

3 tripods a mini maglight a broom handle and a remote release. Oh and some string

Two tripods were set up in front of my full mirrors in the bedroom...on the top I balanced a broom handle which surprisingly sat quit secure. I tied some string around the bottom of the mini maglight and let it hang.

I positioned my camera away on another tripod, camera was set to something like 30sec and set for remote trigger release F14 with a centre weighted meter. Its important not to touch the camera when your shutter is slow. I walked over to the dangling torch while it was on and started to move the torch in a circular motion keeping my self out of shot. Once I got some speed up I let go and hit the remote to release the shutter no the camera so the camera was recording the light moving as it slowed down.

I took only 5 photo's all of which came out very well and different to each other this is the one I liked the most.

And best of all this was created with NO POST PROCESSING!!! the only reason this had to go into lightroom was to be converted from raw and exported to jpeg.

Give it a go!! its very easy with very pleasing results:)

[Ace]

Votes submitted DB, i dont know how some people do it, take what seems to be an ordinary photo and just up the ante and take it to that next level and make a photo of what seems to be an ordinary situation and make it a cut above the rest. Had i of taken them they would have just been pictures of a dog etc, good work DB, nice photos

Especially on this site:TakeABow::)

[dullbird]

*Bump*:angel:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

The first shot is the reason I never go to the RSPCA,,,
I'd end up taking them all home!


voted, No3:cool:

[Bush65]

Votes cast.

[dullbird]

thanks you john.....

[JamesH]

Done.

If I can have a pedantic mood killing moment: Are you able to get in and change the name for the first one to have "you're not alone" rather than "your not alone"? :angel:

[dullbird]

mmmmmm I don't think so I will have a look.

Edit: Sorry I can't change it :BigCry:

[digger]

when I looked (and voted) I didnt even pick that up.....

i think lots of people won't.

Good work......
the light one is cool...couldnt have worked out how without your explaination tho'

cheers (good luck)
digger

[willem]

G'day Lou,

[dullbird]

[dullbird]

I still need many many more votes!!!!!!

[Sleepy]

[Chucaro]

I still need many many more votes!!!!!!

Do not ask for votes by email, you know that can be dangerous, have a look what happens in the ACT :D

[dullbird]

I can only send virtual beers I'm afraid real beers would be seen as paying off:D


Seriously though guys this is to try and help me get to the second round and the second round only from then on in its all down to judges......

I don't get any of that money it all goes to helping a good cause my cause being the RSPCA......

The RSPCA help not just animals that are kept in cruel situations....but people too

We help many many people escape domestic violence situations..by caring for there animals...as many domestic violence victims often wont leave for fear of the animals or the partner threatening to kill them.

We help the elderly that are lonely and have no one to car for there animals when they have no choice but to be admitted to hospital....often they wont go into hospital unless they know there animals are cared for.

We help people with there animals in emergency situations such as losing there house....or some other unfortunate situation.

we help educate children and lobby for more legislation for animal cruelty

This is all done on public donation.....we are not supported by the govenment for all the programs that we do...

So help me try and give something back!!!!

[Chucaro]

Can I vote twice? :)

[dullbird]

No one email address equals.....1 vote per picture you can vote on as many pics as you like I believe

[Chucaro]

Then I have done as a good "Latino" know to do it. I have used 3 emails :D

[feral]

my friend on there has over 400 votes.....bloody hell


There is also one pic that has 946 votes :eek:

I would lodge a protest vote :p

[dullbird]

can't do that.....:D

wow that's a lot of votes too makes my tiny little 60 look a bit sad...is that one n the welfare section

[feral]

No. Support for Bereaved Parents.


Now its 979 votes :(:(

Time to flog it for all its worth....Facebook, My Space.....

Do you have a thousand friends?

[dullbird]

as far as I'm aware they pic the 5 highest voters in all sections then it gets narrowed down from there...so getting to the next round is a big enough achievement I think. Thats why i need votes votes votes:)

[dullbird]

Just need another 35 votes to help me get back into the running:)
