Happy shooting to all !

I think I went ahead of myself with nature in my September photos. I'll try.

I enjoy this challenges and participated with thirdteen in one row, initiated four and I´m still enthusaistic to do more, but I noticed that some participants lately don´t open anymore their own gallery for a particular challenge given, rather only add their Pad´s! This is a change and honestly, I have do say, that I don´t like it, because why should I open a gallery! I could just mix some stuff!

Cheers
Boris

It might be a recent change. When we started these monthly challenges several years ago it was among the PaD community that it arose and it was mostly to better our craft by focusing on one theme/style/subject for a month long cycle. It seems a natural part/element of PaDding since it is a daily challenge with a month long theme. I can say that I have always posted them to my PaD gallery. Some themes have been strong enough to warrant their own gallery but mostly they fall into galleries that I already have in the works (and often various galleries over the course of the month). Regardless, they start in my PaD gallery because they are part of my on-going PaD challenge.

I know some have set up challenge galleries but it is not the way I have set up my Pbase galleries. The only dedicated challenge gallery I have is PaD one(s). I started a dedicated gallery for the "Calendar Girl" year long challenge in 2009 but that faded away. It will likely end up deleted as a part of my Pbase gallery setup.

I may be misinterpreting what you are saying. Please let me know if I am.

Thanks anyway. Would have been fun.

I have participated in most of the challenges for several years now, and have set up separate galleries for every challenge except the last one "September in "Your" Life 2010" and this one "October 2010 Monthly Challenge - THE NATURE OF THINGS", the reason for this is that I believe that these two challenges fall within the the scope of my PaD: Zuihitsu Gallery which is to tell a story of my life day to day, and do not require a separate gallery. When we have done challenges such as "Food", "Transportation", "Minimalism", "Pink Floyd Song Titles" or "Scavenger Hunts" then I set up separate galleries. Personally I don't seen any problem Boris, in fact I think participants should do as they like, as long as they follow the rules of the challenge such as posting only fresh images and commenting on the images of at least some of the other participants. Just my opinion.

Hi, just read Scott´s comment, what struck me most is that part of his posting...
"Some themes have been strong enough to warrant their own gallery "

Ok, I have to say that I feel pretty stupid to have put so much energy into this!

I´ve lived in Nashville for two years, and I know from some ignorance there!

Sorry, I stop posting here from now!

Tschüß
