The submission window on the 48-hour speed challenge has been brought into alignment with what it was always SUPPOSED to be.

If you want to challenge, delight, confuse, or annoy me with a potentially ribbon-winninhg effort, YOU HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO DO IT!

That's midnight, DPC server time, of course.

PRESSURE! Isn't it WONDERFUL?

Darn, my film won't be developed in time. On the plus side, it won't matter that the tech opened up the canister before he put it in the machine. :D

Make sure they give you the good anesthesia, Bear, not the expired stuff. ;)

Aw, c'mon, really?! That SO sucks, I have Friday off and was planning to do everything then...no way could I pull off that project now...so unless I come up with something quick n easy in the meantime...won't have an entry!

This is ABSOLUTELY not fair. Langdon can't change the date a few hours before the new deadline. I really wanted to enter it but since I didn't have a lot of time today I decided to take the shot tomorrow. I'm sooo disappointed...

Come on, guys. Stop complaining. The idea is for bear. And it makes more sense to have it for him when he's in the hospital and bored than a week after.

I appreciate that it's for Bear, and I did go make use of golden hour. But I had a really elaborate and complex, funny setup in mind and that was what I was basically going to devote a whole frickin Friday to...nothing but shooting and doing my best to pp together an image for Bear.

So, though I now have some nice shots they are a far, far cry from what I had planned, so I am disappointed that I do not have the timeframe to shoot, let alone the time needed to read and follow the tuts so I can do my original idea justice!!!

So, sorry, I still stick with my 'this speed challenge deadline sucks balls' sentiment.

ETA: I do have an entry in. But compared to my original idea, it's pretty lame. Most of us actually have to work to make a living, and that has to take priority over many things. Including shooting for challenges for beloved a DPCer as Bear.

I may live to regret entering this.......

Yes, the shortened deadline made it tricky, but Robert is worth the extra effort.
I'm in!

All that really matters, is that I'm already touched that people are thinking of me. I'm sort of (and understandably) down in the dumps at this moment, and the community's a remarkable antidote. So don't worry about what you might have *planned*, just be aware you've already been "judged" by my heart and have been found to be eggg-septional in all ways, folks :-)

In. Couldn't miss it.

Bear, I don't really know you but I was going to try to make a card for you anyways. Seeing as how the challenge deadline changed and I can't anymore I just wanted to let you know my prayers are with you. It seems bears always wake up content and hungry from hibernation. I'm praying it's going to be the same for you, best of luck and don't pull any arms off!

Remember that for this challenge text is allowed, so given the style of many get-well cards you could focus (sic) on that component and perhaps use a less-than-spectacular photo as a complementary background ... for me, the "spirit of the challenge" called for treating it as a speed-challenge (honoring the "correct" subission deadline) even if the site continued to accept entries ...

I made it with 6 minutes to spare and against all odds such as: flooded kitchen, computer on top of the stove because they repair walls in two rooms simultaneously, furniture covered with plastic, ice to one smashed toe.... Bear in my thoughts!

Get well Bear. I started a card but didn't get this message in time.... Late train from work tonight:(
06/04/2014 12:17:46 AM · #17
So, the clock jumped on this one. That's ok. I saw that about 10 minutes before deadline, so it's good that I had something ready to go.
Hope you heal up quickly and feel much better after the event than before.

D*mn*d, missed it due to that confusing information, wanted to do this one.
Hope all gets well Bear!!!

Dang it! I thought we had until Sunday for some reason so I missed out. I had a great idea. Well, get well soon.
06/04/2014 07:38:48 AM · #21
I demand another chance! Lol. :-)
06/04/2014 07:48:33 AM · #22
Don't worry! I'm gonna post a Get Well Bear Side Challenge for all the entries that missed the deadline. You have a week to get it done, because we can't post anything until after voting ends on the challenge. I'm gonna post another one, 'cos a speed challenge with Expert rules made me hurry too fast (I want a do-over).

+1 I didn't get anything in, despite several "hints" about what I might shoot for it!! We leave shortly to drive up to Boston. Surgery not until the pm so don't expect any news from me until much later today. Your love and support are amazing. I know bear has expressed his thanks, but it means a lot to me too.
06/04/2014 11:05:07 AM · #25
Well, I avoided this whole deadline kerfuffle by shooting BEFORE the challenge was announced...

Penny, please do keep us in the loop. And remember to squeeze our Bear for us every now and then.
