Ok sooooo..In an effort to get your creative juices flowing, Ive come up with an idea!!! Is anyone up for a little Photo Forum SCAVENGER HUNT? Let's see if THIS works! This will be a group type THANG, so heres the deal, checkout the list of topics below. (Printing it out for reference will help!) Then go take pix!!!! Try to see how many NEW photos you can come up with to match the topics listed! As you're taking them, think of this as a LEARNING experience! There are 50 topics in total. Some are geared more towards "catching the spur of the moment". Others allow for a boatload of creativity and possibilities! Its up to you to challenge yourself and see what you come up with!

Ok here are some rules:

Please note this is JUST for FUN...NO PRIZES...Just in the spirit of FUN, LEARNING and SHARING!

Max Image size to post- 700 x 700 or less
File Size - 200 kb or less

To submit a Scavenger Hunt -Photo:

Select [Post a new message]
In the Subject Field, Enter Scavenger Hunt & the EXACT topic number and text. (see example below)

Once a topic thread is created, THAT topic gets crossed off the list (members should continue to share their related images and post them to each specific topic thread!)

Are you ready??? Go for it!

Yipppppppeeeeeeee! what a FUN and CREATIVE idea, Joe!!!!!! Hopefully i'll get some today inbetween dr. appts., cooking, cleaning, and preparing for an evening with friends and MEET THE FOCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spinning around in my chair Can't wait for that one! ok, well, Happy Hunting everyone!!!!!! :)

That image previous showed if you right click....view image. But rather than link it ...best uploading as this.

odd... i can't get the numbers to highlight to copy :/ & yes, i saw the image fine in the first link too

Great idea Joe. I hope I find the time to really have fun with this. :)

Save the link to my desktop??? How do u do thaT??

right click... create shortcut but i think Doug will make a link at the top of the forum later after work...

Oh it's ok Cyn! I did like u and saved it in my notepad! ;)

Ooh! Neat!!! I already have the Gold Star!...and I like the one about a Joker stuck to Your ForeHead....I must remove My Bolt. Yep...looks like Fun :]

Just to clear some stuff up!

The idea behind the scavenger hunt is again to take NEW images related to each topic! Once a topic is POSTED...it IS crossed off the list! However you can STILL post IMAGES that you come up with relating to those posted threads.

Hey!!! It's started off REAL AWESOME so far...KEEP 'EM COMIN'

L8r!
Joe

Thx for clarifying this Joe!! ;)

I would also say a requirement to go shoot these images and do not drag up the old ones.

Cool idea :-)
