Walking and chewing gum at the same time - thinking about Feb while waiting for the Winter contest

Let's start by thinking about a theme.

I want to propose 5 of them, and if you want to add 5 more then I'll cut it off and we'll poll the group with the 10 potentials, I may then narrow it down to a run-off between the fore runners the way Tabatha did.
I liked that.

==============
I made a commitment to a suggestion from GD:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x196900

The suggestion, at the heels of the shooting in Tucson, was

Civility and Respect

Macro - close - up
I add that one because I don't know how to do it, so while I can't enter here it is for you Macro lovers

Pattern(s)

Personal Favorite from 2010

Black and White / Portrait of a Child

===========

I'm starting a few days before the month turns - because of the Winter contest coming as well - and because February has a few less days to work with.

Add your ideas...I'm always curious

2. What you did is

suggest the obvious. I'll surely add it.

This may well win the nod for theme.

5. ::please choose macro, please choose macro::

(EF! has been contemplating a macro lens purchase...)

This way I can justify the immediacy of it and blame it on the DU Photo group when Mrs. EF! flips her lid!

:rofl:

6. You are making me laugh out loud...

I have a vote, I might just do that for you.:rofl:

I found a macro lens for my Sony alpha camera on Craigslist. A simple one, at half price.
I am meeting with a guy at McDonalds at the children's slide at noon on Saturday. I'm being specific so WJMS's imagination can get going again.
After that, in all probability, I'll have a macro lens too!!!

12. Saphire, I won't use Red, because we did that about 12-16 months ago

and a spectacular contest it was!!!

But I will give a spot to "Colorful Food"in our poll,
which would be quite an interesting topic because of the different ways people will photograph the same sort of things...

I do not know how to search the Photo group archives, which is a hindrance to me at times like this.
