My dad conked out after playing with the grandchildren. A grab shot of my parents at the pub. A half-stop over flashed, but I just had the grab the camera and shoot before they realised that I had my camera out. My dad performing hair-clip adjustments on my daughter. You didn't need to tell us he was your dad! The resemblance, especially in the first photo, is striking. Wonderful looking family! So many great photographs. Big congrats Betty on your well-deserved win! And a slightly belated Happy Birthday Paulette! Edited February 17 by Marianne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 My friends are the right age but they are all camera shy, so here are my three in the spirit of the contest. The first one is doing a yoga pose, but she isn't posing. She didn't even realized I'd taken her photo 😎 The folks in the second photo are posing, but not for me. And the third guy is bird-watching, thought you'd appreciate that. 🦜 🐦⬛ 🦅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Betty will care if “old” is used or not, it’s the concept of being older in age. True. I’m not checking tags, the picture is worth a thousand words.

Betty LaRue Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 (edited) Michael Ventura do you need my email address to tell me how to set up the poll when the time comes? I looked under the heading Poll & think I can figure out most of it. I can see the numbered blanks where the image titles, name of photographer & image goes, then keep adding boxes until I get to eight. I assume I don’t check the box for showing voter’s names for one. Do I put in a date for when voting ends? Anything else I need to know? Is there something to set that once someone votes, they can see how many votes each image has but can’t see it until they vote or is that automatic?

Michael Ventura Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Hi Betty, you pretty much have it. Below the “poll” area, you will see a secondary posting field and that is where you copy and paste your selected photos, just the way you would do in a standard post. I am traveling thru Monday but home when I may be needed. Edited February 23 by Michael Ventura 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty LaRue Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) Folks, I can't figure how to do the poll. I set it all up the way I thought I was supposed to, but when I tried to post, it wouldn't accept it. I've been at it forever & give up. Guess I'm too old & dumb to figure it out. Michael, I sent you a text and a photo of my choices,(actually a phone shot of what I was composing on Alamy) along with image numbers. Can you do it for me? Thank you, thank you, thank you or pass it on to someone else. 😀 And make an enemy. I meant for you folks to wake up Friday to the poll. It's 11:30 here, 12:30 after midnight where Michael lives. So it won't be waiting for you soon. My sister is driving up from Oklahoma to my house in the morning and I have to drive her to get a shot in her neck. She's not allowed to drive after, so I'll be gone for awhile. Betty Edited March 1 by Betty LaRue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
