Woo Hoo! Yup that is #2.

I forgot to check today, thanks Scott.

No problem, dude. Congrats.

Congrats Shawn!

Congrats duder.

I should enter more shots. If you throw enough mud at the wall, it'll stick eventually, right?

Thanks Jay,
You might as well, you have nothing to lose.

I have entered three, on had a huge dust spot that I forgot to remove so it is no wonder it didn't get put up

Thanksss

I just entered one so far, but have more i can do.

I can put the piton's shot up there, and also a couple from my honeymoon.

Lots of them lately have looked very surreal though, and I don't have many that fit that bill.

Way to go, Shawn! Do you get some money now?

Thanks Mark. I tried checking a few minutes ago but the page wouldn't load.
I should get $50 if I remember right.

P.S. - there is a message on the contact page -
*Earth Shots is on auto-pilot until 09/06/08


So, it may take a while to get paid I am thinking. Oh well.

Do you guys ever re-submit a photo you've previously submitted after the month, or is it one and out?

I haven't really put any in besides one, and I just did that one once. I should try some more.

Congrats Shawn, btw.

thanks Jay.

I have submitted 4 so far, all have been different.

3 for 4 is pretty good!

Scotty wins again!

Woah, nice! I sent that in almost a month ago. I think that's another $50 too. Thanks, Shawn.

The site says they are on auto pilot for a while. Probably won't get paid for a while either. I haven't yet.

Have you contacted them to let 'em know? I've gotten paid the same for all three of my times getting enough posted.

there is a message on the contact page -

I did send them a message with my paypal address.

Oh, wow. Wonder why such a long break...

I wonder how they are on auto pilot for that long if each submission is only good for 30 days

When they say autopilot, is the Server picking the pics too?

Exactly, who knows Right?

I would like to think they choose a group of photos, assigned them to certain days and wrote a script to grab each one and post it for it's respective day. I could be wrong though.

you think maybe the date format is screwy and they mean June 9th? Other countries sometimes write the date in a different order than what we're used to and it screws me up all the time.

I was happy to see this today. Not bragging but letting you guys know they do honor their guarantee.

Subject: Earth Shots prizeNote:Well done Shawn! Sorry for the delay. Win another 4 times and you'll get another $50!

They definitely honor them, it's 4 per from there on out too, Shawn. I believe at least.

And, I was pumped to see this... submitted the shot and an hour later it was up on the site!

Nice Scott.

Nice Dude. I think I will be uploading some from my trip this past week.

Nice! I might have enough for another $50 now... not sure.

http://www.earthshots.org/2008/09/st...cott-hotaling/

They paid up again, time to submit some more.

Nice work again Scott.

It's neat to think that I've made $150 just from submitting pictures to a website. Works well for all the parties involved.

No kidding. Awesome work!

Tell me that road would not fun for cruising.

Yeah, no kidding.
The only thing I hate about that pic is the Power lines. Other than that, it is a killer shot.

fixed.

I can not tell you how much fun the dragon was in the MINI. Sure, and Elise or Porsche would be faster, but I'm not that good of a driver, and the MINI handles insanely well anyway.

well whatever. You get the point.

Today's shot, while beautiful, demonstrates what happens when you don't properly use your ND grad filter--there is no detail left in the closer mountains.

Ruins a majestic shot, IMO, and I'm generally pretty pro-grad ND.

Websense is now blocking earthshots.org.

This is why I don't post as much as I used to in Sharing/POTD.

I friggin love that shot.

There are some really good shots out there!

Best shot I've seen of the Subway yet (haven't seen that many).

I'm going with Tad's on this one.

"The star tracks remain visible in the lake due to the mirroring effect of tracking in the opposite direction. Equipment: Canon 20D, Canon 10-22mm, f/3.5, static and dynamic exposure of 6 min, ISO 1600, tripod, AstroTrac TT320 digital astronomical mount"


Basically this guy is stating it is not a double exposure merge, but then says static and dynamic exposure. It has to be a merge, right?

If his tracker was moving the camera, how would the mountains stay in focus and not blurred?

Definitely strange.
