Don't worry, they don't bite, well not that hard anyway.

Welcome to DPC! Enter the challenges and always try to remember that the score on your challenge entries is only one miniscule component of the entire DPC experience.

Enjoy.

Hi, welcome to the madness that is DPC! We are all one big dysfunctional family!
I refuse to be the one to warn you about anyone, but some of the "questionables"have already checked in, muahahahaha!

I have always been under the impression that you were a nibbler and not a biter.

We were wondering when you would show up at DPC.
Have a good time, enjoy the site, take a lot of photos and learn a lot of useless stuff.

Welcome!

Three tips from me . . .

- Double-check the time setting on your camera
- Be careful how you transfer your images to your computer
- Follow the editing rules specific to the particular challenge (and ask here ahead of time if you have any concrn over some editing step's legality)

I will enter some of the challenges in time, I do not yet think my photography is at a level to be worthy of entering the challenges.

Why not shadow a couple of challenges - plan and shoot for them, but not necessarily enter? Look forward to seeing some of your photos when you get the confidence to post!

Hey,

I was not aware of that, I miss-reas the left hand side when uploading, it has been corrected with a new image that was taken within the time limits [sadly is a resized low quality image that i have uploaded].

I hope to get more into the challenges when I come back from America at the end of the month.

Welcome to DPC. i hope you enjoy your time here - you will likely get as addicted as the rest of us.

Was this shot taken after the challenge was announced? You don't want to get caught with an image that results in a DQ.
