PBH / Colombia / Forums (active) Travelguide Cheap hostels Pictures

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...

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...

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.

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...

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

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 (Moderator) (Trustee board) (☼Travelguide writer) 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.

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"

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
