    Are you say I'm an exception? :sad: Or I'm exceptional? ;) :heehee:

    It was a brilliant holiday. You'll see from my competition entry that I spotted the deliberate mistake whilst on holiday :loll: The beholder needs to be all seeing :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            Each time I upload a particular picture into the August monthly competition it turns itself round and I don't know why. I've not had this happen before so can anyone help me please?

            And good evening to you @wiseowl, it's a beautiful one here for a change. :SUNsmile:

            I'm using 'Upload a File' on my post and taking the picture from my personal files on my computer. I've always loaded pictures this way and four years on, it's the first time I've had this happen and I don't understand why. :doh::)

            Edit: Hi Woo, scrap the above please. I've managed to get it to work, my old computer was playing tricks on me and it's now uploaded the right way up. Thank you for your help. :)

                I drove twenty miles yesterday to get a particular shot for this months competition only to be stopped in my tracks. The item in question had been the same colour for at least three years but some horrible person has recently repainted it and spoilt the effect! :doh:You win some you lose some I suppose. :)

                  Firstly @wiseowl , should this thread title be re-named monthly and macro photo comp discussion thread?

                  I wish more people would try out macro shots

                  I took this one on my £89 (after savings) camera I always keep in my pocket http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/which-compact.80673/#post-879724 simply set on iA intelligent auto mode (NB not an entry, just something I snapped and posted in the what's flying/buzzing thread)

                      I've just had the same problem Sheal... so I've given up on one of them...I managed to turn it but them it looks cropped... never mind...!

                      The one thing I have learnt today is the difference between my iPhone and Lumix... what a difference in photo quality... I really must find a photo club around here so I can learn more :heehee:

                      I've been so busy this month with work, that I was really worried that I wouldn't have time to take part in this months photo comp.... so I put some time aside today as I really think everyone should have a go and support this as its just fab :)

                        Sometimes it can be just a glitch @Apple Blossom. I went back to the photo later and it loaded with no problem. :)
