2011-05-19 [Lord Josmar]: Gonna scope out my existing photos first.

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: Go for it. (:

2011-05-19 [Lord Josmar]: If those photos are too large let me know and I will shrink them.

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: I think they're fine. :D And we got rid of the explanation thing, I just forgot to take it off this page. X.X sorry. So it's great for those of you who have added it, but you don't need to. (:

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: No proof this time? So I can use old photos?

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: I was really torn between a few images but I like these the best.

2011-05-19 [Lord Josmar]: Mine where the only shots I had stored that had any sort of color variations, lol.

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: (: No proof, and old photos are fine. :D

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Disney is an amazing place to find color! Especially during the flower festival!! ^^

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: I don't like that my pictures are so small, but the quality is poor if I expand them >.< Gr.

2011-05-19 [kians mummy]: want me to try and correct it for you x)

2011-05-19 [kians mummy]: is this what it gets like

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Edit; Apparently I just needed to upload them to my house instead of to an image folder! Ta-da!

2011-05-19 [kians mummy]: good, i'm glad you did it

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Thank ya ^^ The detail is easier to see now ~

2011-05-19 [kians mummy]: yeah, is mine ok

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Yep! Definatly fits the color theme! It's very bright

2011-05-19 [kians mummy]: its so cute [Hedda]

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: I love all the pictures so far. (: And Lilo is so adorable. XP *is a total cat person*

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Aww! Puppy! So cute ~

2011-05-19 [AuroraLumos]: :3 Lilo is so cute, I'm more of a cat person than a dog person as a general rule. (Though Mum's dog Imp is adorable ^_^)

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: I'm a sucker for all animals. :3

And I have to say I'm impressed with all the photos so far! They're all such great shots! :D

*cheers*

2011-05-20 [Lord Josmar]: *Wipes mouth* That car just made me drool a lil.

2011-05-20 [Figment]: I will be sure to pass the complement on to the owner of the truck. 

2011-05-20 [hannes]: haha, lin, that's such an awesome photo. XD university architecture in helsinki seems to be quite wacky over all. :P

2011-05-20 [Linderel]: University architecture in Helsinki is nothing compared to Oulu :P At least the buildings in downtown Helsinki are all old and respectable looking. Here in Oulu we get... whatever the hell this is. The insides are possibly even worse.

2011-05-20 [hannes]: oh, crap. i don't know why i always think you're studying in helsinki although i know you don't. :P well, i'm in the "new" uni buildings (biology), and those buildings are pretty insane..

2011-05-20 [Linderel]: Photos!

2011-05-21 [Balthizar]: -I think I did that right...-scratches brain-

2011-05-21 [Alexi Ice]: Ohhh, the ocean pic is so pretty! And it looks fine ^^ But I'm not a mod so...>>

2011-05-21 [Balthizar]: -XD Thanks! I took that on a day I was " Screw all techno crap save for my camera". It was a day off, so I went to the Northeast side of the Island.

2011-05-23 [Lothuriel]: Ooooh [[Kelaria] 0_0 I wanna live there.

2011-05-23 [Lord Josmar]: ...Inappropriate comment alert! ^^^^
lolz.

2011-05-23 [Akayume]: I'm not too big on scolding for chatter, but yes. :3 Let's keep this kosher please.

2011-05-23 [hanhepi]: but i was gonna make a comment about how [Figment]'s truck picture made me think of the same thing!

2011-05-23 [Alexi Ice]: Wow! These are all so good!!

2011-05-31 [Mystin]: [Linderel] yours is incredibly beautiful!!!

2011-05-31 [Linderel]: Thanks. :)

2011-06-01 [Alexi Ice]: Ohhh Mystin! That is so cool!

2011-06-01 [Mystin]: Yeah it's in one of our local parks and leads to a clubhouse. It's way bigger than it looks.

2011-06-04 [Akayume]: [The Dizzy Raven]- on elftown, we can't do icons. :( Sorry. Just put your username in brackets please. :D

and your submission is very beautiful, by the way. (:

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol XD I accidentally did that. sorry ^^" I think I'm on way too many sites. lol

And thanks so much! :)

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: Many of the submissions are absolutely incredible! I personally enjoy "Dying Banana Leaf" (very colorful), "Our Ocean" (strikes home), and "Spring Colors" (appears almost old fashioned and marvelous. Reminds me of one of those older oil color paintings).

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: AWWWW That's soo cute, [Yuriona]!!! :3 So adorable!

2011-06-04 [Mystin]: I'M SO JEALOUS OF EVERYONE'S PHOTOS!!! THEY'RE ALL SO PRETTY!!

(not screaming just excited)

2011-06-04 [Alexi Ice]: I'm excited about the turn out of this competition

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: I know, right? The competition is pretty tight. :D It was hard for me to choose the pictures I wanted to use. Very challenging.

2011-06-04 [Alexi Ice]: I know, I went through hundreds of pictures before I found my submissions (then uploaded all the others. LOL)

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: XD!!! LOL same here!! I've got over 7 hundred that I took within the past 5-6 weeks. @.@ I went trigger happy. Driving one way through mountains and landscapes and flying back made me a little coocoo for taking pics. XD

2011-06-04 [Yuriona]: Thank you [The Dizzy Raven]. :)

2011-06-04 [The Dizzy Raven]: You're welcome! :3

2011-06-14 [Linderel]: Pansies <3

2011-06-14 [Karithina]: I love pansies!~ I'd never seen real ones in so many colours before so I half expected them to burst into song :O

2011-06-14 [hannes]: nice entries, everyone! :)

it's ok to change one's entries until the deadline, right? X)

2011-06-14 [Linderel]: Should be. :o

2011-06-14 [Karithina]: I was just typing out a question about how you could do better than the two you already have up - oh what an answer :O

2011-06-14 [Nioniel]: The pansies remind me of the ones in "A Troll in Central Park." ^^

2011-06-14 [Karithina]: Aauua! My sister and I loved that movie as kids! :D Oh dear subliminal pansies all through my childhood.

2011-06-14 [AuroraLumos]: COMPLETE CHANGE OF MIND hahaha, went through my camera again and decided that the other 2 I originally posted weren't quite what I wanted to go for with the whole colour theme (no matter how cute the puppy is :3)

2011-06-14 [Balthizar]: -We can switch pictures out? Hmmmm.

2011-06-15 [Nioniel]: :)

2011-06-15 [Alexi Ice]: I'm still loving the turn out of this competition!

2011-06-15 [The Dizzy Raven]: hehe me 2 :3

2011-06-15 [Alexi Ice]: Wanted to switch out on of my submissions ~

2011-06-16 [Cillamoon]: Well I am thrilled to see so many entries, this is fantastic! Now if you would all go over to the EPRM and do the same that would be fantastic! lol, no seriously, go! XD

2011-06-16 [Linderel]: But that's so much more effort :O :P

2011-06-16 [Akayume]: Do it anyway? :P

2011-06-16 [Linderel]: I intend to! I'm just being very slow about it. <_<

2011-06-16 [Akayume]: I know. :P *pat pat*

2011-06-16 [Cillamoon]: No worries there, you still have I think two months to enter.

2011-06-17 [Cillamoon]: [Mystin], please separate your entries, posting the newest at the bottom of the page. Thank you.

2011-06-17 [Mystin]: Are you asking to add a space?

2011-06-17 [Cillamoon]: No, I'm asking you to make it a totally seperate entry for itself. Take your second picture, add it to the bottom and give it a number, your name, and a title please.

2011-06-17 [Mystin]: Done

2011-06-21 [Mystin]: Changed second submission, thanx!

2011-06-21 [Cillamoon]: Thank you for making note of your change.

2011-06-21 [Mystin]: Changed first also, cause these are more colorful. Just testing out my new camera lol

2011-06-21 [Cillamoon]: Okay. Have you considered submitting for Keyword Photography Competition as well? I think you would like that too. Also there's Photography 365 that [Nioniel] was running, not sure if it's still going as it was for last year but it's worth a shot.

2011-06-22 [Alexi Ice]: Ohh cool mystin

2011-06-22 [Mystin]: Thanks for the invites! I will look into those.

2011-06-24 [Mystin]: I am not withdrawing my submission here!

2011-07-29 [AuroraLumos]: Changed my first submission again ^^' (that's the last time I promise ^_^)

2011-07-29 [Balthizar]: -I'm so keeping mine the same. Mostly because my laptop is in the shop, so I'm using our desktop. I suppose I could pull one of my other pictures from my FB...but I like the two I have. I think they are pretty, and display some nice, easy going colors.

2011-07-29 [AuroraLumos]: I agree, the colours in them are really nice ^_^

2011-07-30 [Balthizar]: -Thank you! I like subtle colors. :\

2011-07-30 [Lord Josmar]: I keep wondering to myself if I couldn't, in fact, find better photos in my photo folders. Just too darn lazy to look.

2011-07-30 [Balthizar]: -I like yours Lord Josmar.

2011-07-30 [Lord Josmar]: Well thank you! I just think I have some that are better. Meh, like I said I'm too lazy to look for them.

2011-08-24 [AuroraLumos]: [Blaithin] that's so pretty! The colours are really bold. I love it :3

2011-08-24 [Blaithin]: Thanks :D

2011-08-24 [Alexi Ice]: Ohhh! Teh flowers are pretty!

2011-08-31 [kians mummy]: The deadline is over so this contest is now closed.

2011-08-31 [Yuriona]: Actually, its open until the crew officially close it. I know you're trying to help but last time I checked, you're not crew Sammie.

2011-08-31 [Akayume]: That's true [Yuriona]. (: I was unfortunately unable to be online during midnight et time, so I had to wait until now to close it. But thanks for paying attention to the deadline sammie! It's great that you have an eye for detail.

2011-08-31 [Lord Josmar]: Yay closed!!

2011-09-25 [windowframe]: <news:Elftown Photographers are Awesome>

2011-09-25 [Lord Josmar]: How is the "short-list" being selected? Is it just the ones the council likes the most?

2011-09-25 [Akayume]: We're doing a vote.

2011-09-25 [Lord Josmar]: kk

2011-09-26 [Mortified Penguin]: I was unaware of this contest. :(

2011-09-26 [hanhepi]: how did you not know about this? you always know about stuff even before i do!

2011-09-26 [Mortified Penguin]: Who are you? I don't even know you.

2011-09-26 [Paul Doyle]: "Who am I? Why am I here?" (Name the speaker, location of quote and year of that quote for an Internet brownie)

2011-09-26 [kians mummy]: James Stockdale 1992 and all I know is it was a debate.

2011-09-26 [hanhepi]: speaker: me, location: various rooms, when: every saturday morning, and some weekday mornings from 1996 through 2009.
