Default CP Photo Contest #27 Patriotism - POST PICTURES NOW

Don't know how this will go as a contest, but I'm hoping we might get some good contributions with the Olympics wrapping up. I missed it all being out of Canada, but I want to see what others got.

Anyways, the theme is 'Patriotism.' Olympic or otherwise let's see what's out there.

Contest rules are here: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=77250

One to get this rolling. Not the greatest shot, but it embodies what could be the new patriotism since millions of people now own these.

A narrower Olympic theme than what I was hoping for.

Oh well, I'll see what I have when I get home. Most of my shots that would fit are high ISO low light flash-on snapshots.

Well, I figured patriotism would include a lot from the olympics but would also allow others who weren't there to contribute too.

You were at the men's moguls then in the standing room section? It wasn't our stroller, someone else around us.

Are we following the "it must be a recent shot" rule? If not I have others, this was just the most immediate.

You mean this rule?

4. Photo can have been taken at any time, unless there is a specific date restriction in the contest theme.


Cursed Photobucket isn't uploading for me.

I read in a thread a few months ago there was a push to make the photos "recent" as people were repeating photos from one theme to the next. Just checking.

Well you can't re-use one that wins, so I think that's acceptable.

Anyways, turns out Photobucket is working, just really really slow and has a horrible progress bar.

These are all from Sunday.

A friend picked up this for pickles. We wouldn't normally put this on our dog, but thought it was appropriate at the time, and it made a great pic....
