The top 3 members this year were:

Congratuations to all three of you and also a big thanks to everyone who entered this year. If you'd like to know your score then please contact Jamie.

As you know, this was Jamie's last month running the competition so a huge thank you to him from everyone at the forum. He's run the competition brilliantly and I'm sure you'll agree it's been a big success.

July - Sunrise and Sunsets

This is a monthly photo competition, with each month having a set category. During the final week of the month, a voting thread will be put up so you can vote for your favourite images.
Unfortunately the winner will not receive any prizes, because it is just a bit of fun.

The winner will be mentioned and congratulated by Xeract on the homepage. On your thread, you could give a name for your image, and if possible, include photography information, such as ISO, shutter speed etc. A new thread will be created for each month, so please be sure to enter in the right one!

If you have any further questions, then please contact me by personal message, and I will try my best to answer your question.

!!!!!THE COMPETITION DEADLINE FOR THIS MONTH IS 24/7/2009!!!!!!

Please note! Only enter one image a month, and can you only post images in this thread, will make it much easier for me come the end of the month! Any posts that aren't entries will be deleted


The Categories for the year are:
January - Wildlife in Captivity
February - Wildlife in Public
March - Pets
April - Wild Flowers
May - Creepy Crawlies
June - Trees and Shubs
July - Sunrise/Sunsets
August - Birds of Prey
September - Exotic Wildlife
October - Mammals
November - Nature Reserve Photography
December - Wildife in Frosty Conditions

Hi Ruth, I've edited your post for you so the picture shows. Once you've added the attachment, write click on the thumbnail click properties and then copy the image URL. Then use the image button in the post to insert it.

Hope that helps!

RE: July - Sunrise and Sunsets

There are some awsome images here - for what it's worth here's mine, taken in 2006 with my cheap and easy 5MP digi camera (recently replaced by a Canon EOS 350D which is my pride and joy)!



Despite further instructions I still don't seem to be able to get my photos bigger than thumbnail - sorry, you'll have to click on it to see a bigger version!

Jamie - I have edited your post again. All you need to do is click on the image, and at the top of the page it will show the URL for your image. Copy this URL, which in your case will be 'http://www.wildlifeuk.net/attachment.php?aid=1077' Then do this:

[IMG]*copy URL here*[/IMG]

Its really that simple!

You've seen this one before! Still, it was taken at sunset.

Cropped. No other adjustment. Sunset after the mother and father of all thunderstorms.
