It's only 2005 here on the east coast so that means just under 4 hrs to go......stay tuned

[ctbon]

Doesn't the West Coast count?!?!?!

It would only be fair to wait for the left-coasters to submit our entries. Not only are we 4 hours back but we are terrible procrastinators

 

[ctbon]

Entry submitted!

 

[Bartman]

Thanks ctbon.....55 minutes to go

 

[Bartman]

I'm home (after getting my butt kicked at the pool table in the local pub) and going to bed. It's 2326 according to my desktop computer so 34 minutes to go.
I'll check back in the morning but entries have to be received by midnight here in NJ, USA then we move on the voting!

THanks for all the entries, we may have thirty by now!

Keith,
When the contest closes to new entries I'll send the pics to the other Moderators and to Kim at Photo Higher, LTD who has been so generous to sponsor the contest in the first place (Thanks!).
Once we have a handful of entries chosen as finalists we'll post them specifically in a thread where we will open a poll for voting by the site membership. Everyone can have one vote and whomever gets the most votes wins. It may take me a few days to get the poll set up but I'll try to post the entire collection of entries before that.
I only ask that everyone please be civil as things play out.
Thanks,
Bart

Ok I messed that up. I should have read the rules better. Just sent in a photo of me and my Cinestar 8.

 

[gadgetkeith]

I guarantee you my picture is the most "crappy" of all of them!

 

[Dune]

Maybe we should have a "crappiest" contest too. The winner would get a GoPro mount. Not saying GoPro is crappy, it's just at the other end of the spectrum from one of Photohigher's wonderful gimbals.

OK, want something crappier? The winner gets a chip clip and a hot glue gun.

 

[matwelli]

That's pretty much how I mounted my gopro for the competition, 'cept I used rubber bands as my hitech camera mount

 

[DucktileMedia]

Hot glue gun is always useful. chip clips would be nice but I am married so we have many. I dont think that is an item that a single guy goes out and buys. So maybe that is a good bachelor's prize.

 

[digitalcam]

OK. so when are we going to get to see some of these photos?

 

[Bartman]

We're working on picking the best five. I'll post all of them in a day or so then we'll announce the five finalists and have our site membership pick a winner. one vote each, winner takes all.
THanks for being patient!
Bart

 

[Bartman]

Please do not identify yourselves with your entries!!!!! The winner will be announced after the winning photo has been selected!
Here are the first ten of twenty nine entries! I'll post the rest when i sit back down in a few minutes. Thanks to everyone that entered!
Not all of the entries met the requirements of the rules. We will account for this in selecting the five finalists.
