Post your photos of Colombia!

http://www.flickr.com/groups/pbh_photo_contest/

While the exact rules and structure of the photo contest still need to be decided, it would be nice to have some pictures of Colombia on the group. They could be pictures of, say, Monsterrate...

Bogota - Monsterrate

Villa La Leyva...

Villa la leyva

Providencia...

Providencia - Manzanillo bay

Or Cartagena maybe...

Cartagena - old town

When we get enough photos up there we can go about deciding categories, how to judge, etc... Come on people, I know some of you must have some pictures you've taken of Colombia somewhere...

nice photos Leeroy, you make the rest of us look bad, but I posted some just now.

Lucas Freley says on Aug 19, 2007, 15:09:

Very beautiful pictures Leeroy. I guess the contest is over...and the winner is a guy called Lee...Congratulations !!!!!!!!!

Leeroy says on Aug 19, 2007, 15:36:

How on earth did you figure out that my name was Lee?

:)

la campiña says on Aug 19, 2007, 16:49:

I have hundreds of fotos from 5 years here can this site handle loads of snaps

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 19, 2007, 16:54:

Flickr allows free members to upload up to 100MB a month. However, there is no limit to the number of pics you can post. If you pay for a "pro" account ($25 a year) there is no limit of any kind to the amount of photos you can upload.

Leeroy says on Aug 19, 2007, 17:00:

That's nice - but let's not have everyone sending in 500 pictures each!

It would be more manageable if people sent "their best photos" - like a representation of their finest work, so to speak.

Maybe even a photo limit per person, although I know that sounds a little fascist...

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 19, 2007, 17:06:

Honestly, I think we might want to limit people to 1-3 pics per category.

la campiña says on Aug 19, 2007, 17:58:

good idea limit fotos also what about content ustedes saben

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 19, 2007, 18:41:

So far, the categories are:

City Streets
People
Animals
Beaches
Rumba
Buildings
Natural Scenery
Action

podborski says on Aug 19, 2007, 19:39:

think you have it covered CG

Saltador says on Aug 19, 2007, 19:47:

I just added 30 fotos, I had to really pare down to get to the best 30...

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 19, 2007, 19:47:

What, categories? Leeroy came up with those. I was thinking that we might add a food category to let ol' Arthur an easy win ;)

podborski says on Aug 19, 2007, 20:11:

food would be a good one actually.

my question is, do we put hot girls under people, rumba, action or natural scenery?

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 19, 2007, 20:16:

Good question. BTW, I don't think we should delete pics of hot girls unless they are nude or pornographic. I guess the category would depend on the photo. Ultimately, it is up to the poster to decide in which category they want to include their pic.

podborski says on Aug 19, 2007, 20:19:

of all the pics I posted, the only one anyone has bothered to view is the one with girls in it.

this could be a fun social experiment too I guess.

christobeldawg says on Aug 19, 2007, 22:28:

I got some photos of Monserrate but anybody know how to post them? Duh, I know, but I am not easily walking into how to do it.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

LA_MONA says on Aug 20, 2007, 03:18:

I put some on but I need help...see you there.

vicshere says on Aug 20, 2007, 06:11:

I think Natural Scenery
should be broken out into more categories its unfair to limit 3 photo when Colombia has so much Natural Scenery

listo

LA_MONA says on Aug 20, 2007, 06:15:

Vic you're pics are fantastic!

vicshere says on Aug 20, 2007, 06:17:

well thank you mona...when I was younger I use to take better pics with my 35mm....but these digital cameras do a dam fine job

listo

Leeroy says on Aug 20, 2007, 07:02:

vic - true.

Let's have a food category

Let's change "City Streets" to "Towns and Cities"

And let's have more than one category for "Natural Scenery"

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 20, 2007, 09:07:

Those are some nice pics, but please don't post photos here. The site is not made to handle lots of images. If you want to enter you pics in our informal PBH Photo Contest, please post them on flickr.com and add them to the PBH Photo Contest group. You will need a free flickr account, but it is well worth it, as it is probably the best photo site out there.

You can view the contest photos and get more info at

ColombianoGringo says on Aug 20, 2007, 09:09:

I meant to say please don't post contest pics here.

goin_south says on Aug 20, 2007, 12:48:

Hey Christobeldawg....that's my photo!
Yeah, really; I took almost that same identical photo.
With the Restaurant San Y Sidro, just out of the pic to the left.

and, thank you.
