Wow! Hats off to Efficiency, Grumpy, RickOCRR (another challenge taker!) and Roadfix. My competition keeps getting stiffer and stiffer! :D

I may have to break down and carry a real camera instead of a phone.

Your pictures don't suck, Grumpy, but I do like your competitive and creative spirit. You have months to explore and improve. :p

Do trainer rides count?

Only if you've been injured, otherwise, sorry, they don't count. :o

I have so much potential yet...


...And you don't look nearly as old and haggard-looking as the rest of us.

We have a new contender in the challenge. Nice pic, Jleslie! :beer:

Don't worry Master P I'm trying. I went to the new hip coffee spot on Silverlake but it wasn't opened. They were training employees or something. I'll try to follow in your footsteps and post something this week.:)

Excellent!

+1 Come on, lady...we need more women to "wo"man up and accept the challenge! :D

February is almost over! We should have good weather all week! (There, I jinxed it.)
Bring the poses! :D

Yes, ideal posing climate in the months ahead. This is good for all SoCal poseurs and posers.

I'm doing terrible at this... Rain and sickness last weekend did not help. :(

No go....it's not March yet, although I will most likely do some serious posing tomorrow. ...:p

Oh, that's right, it's not March yet. I'm already thinking conceptually about my next pose. I'm going to try to challenge myself to find interesting things to work with.

You have your strategy and I have mine.

I plan to win.

I plan to win.Dang....you're not making this easy for me!

Dang....you're not making this easy for me!

If were easy, it would be no fun. Besides, the competition is steep already! I'm not your biggest threat...


...yet. :D

...yet. :D

This is true. I might have to make strategic changes mid-year depending on the posing climate. I know no one has brought out their big guns yet.

I'm such a posing noob.:( I don't know how to post large size pictures on BF. Did my first attempt at posin at the new coffeeshop down the street from me, lamillcoffee (that's how they spell it. It's suppose to be hip:rolleyes:) It's more like a restaurant and not a place to casually get coffee or tea. I won't be going there again and I can't reccommend it. Way too expensive. Staff didn't seem that friendly either. Could someone please help with pix posting. Next week I'm buying a new cam.

You can do either of 2 things to post images:
1) As attachments - the result will be a thumbnail sized image where people will need to click on it to see the full size one - to add, click "Go Advanced" and select Attachments from one of the buttons. You can't use "Post Quick Reply"

2) If your image is hosted/stored on another image server like flickr, you'll need to find out what the direct URL to the image is. Afterwards, just type (without the quotes and spaces) "[ I M G ]http://abc/abc.jpg[ / I M G ]" to inline them to your post. This is what you normally see in the actual PAM thread

You did good Vanessa and that's a nice photo. Thanks for the heads up on that joint. Although they're very close, I'll make sure that's not on my list of poser joints. :D
As far as posting a full size photo, if you don't have a photo hosting site where you upload all your photos, go to Photobucket.com and use them....it's free. :)

Thanks guys. Now that I know the secret there's no stopping me...well except for my camera.:o I'm working on that.:)

Thanks guys. Now that I know the secret there's no stopping me...well except for my camera.:o I'm working on that.:)Now, you can be real creative with your camera phone if it has a self-timer. I'm not even sure if camera phones even come with timers....:p

Yippee! Grrlyrida got a pose in. Woman, you look good, even on your cell phone cam! :D

You have your strategy and I have mine.

I plan to win.

Um, don't you get to decide who wins? :rolleyes:

That being the case you don't really need much in the way of strategy or planning.

Is anyone going out on a poser ride today? I am. Observatory loop, counter-clockwise.

I'll see you posers at the table!

I wish.
