Imlay Poster Photo Contest - ready for voting!

[ratagonia]

Thanks to Ryan Cornia figuring out how to set up a gallery with voting, it is my pleasure to announce that the pics are up for your viewing pleasure at:

http://outdoorzen.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=14

Partly it has taken a lot of time because there were 50 submissions, and a lot of them were good. So my plan for an easy voting system would not have worked. Very special thanks to everyone who submitted photographs.

PLEASE RATE EACH IMAGE FROM ONE TO FIVE STARS. Versions of the pictures up to 900 pixels wide or tall are available by clicking around. Do not worry about how YOUR scale of quality matches other people's scale of quality - because it all sorts out in the end.

I realize many people will not be able to view and vote on all the photos in one sitting. You can always come back and start where you left off.

The system does not protect against Chicago-style voting (ie, vote early, vote often). Please vote only once. We use the honor system, please be honorable.

As stated previously, the top 5 photos from voting will win a prize, and I will pick a winner for the poster from them.

Thanks for your patience, and enjoy the pics!

Tom

Hey Dan, is that picture from our trip to Zion last summer? I'm thinking that's Mike and I hanging from the ropes and Adam in the foreground.... but I could be wrong....

:five:

There were some really sweet pictures entered in the contest. :2thumbs:

I think Shane makes a great Model.... :five:


Way to go Dan! What a photo!!!

All.................. Those finalist shots are incredible!!!

[CarpeyBiggs]

Yeah, it was from our trip last year. I think it's actually Nelsonccc and Justin on the ropes. I'm almost certain the guy on the right is Christian, it could be you on the left. Definitely Adam in the water.

There were some awesome shots. Eric's is pretty sick, but my favorite was the one from Nepal, rapping down the waterfall with all the vibrant greens all around. Very cool seeing all the different areas. :2thumbs:

[tanya]

Justin? As in Rock Gremlin.... :mrgreen:

At least he kept his clothes on for it. :lol8:

[CarpeyBiggs]

Wait, Justin was in the water holding all of my stuff over his head to keep it dry (I guess the photo should be a double credit, thanks Justin). It probably is you and Mike. I'll have to look at a higher resolution version to see who is who.

[rockgremlin]

Yup -- that's me holding your gear above my head beside you.

You owe me... :lol8:


Congratulations Dan - you deserve it!

I'll pay you back... As soon as you get into your permanent house, you let me know.

[tanya]

Who is Mike?

I rapped with nelsonslc, the bastard said "Watch this" and jumped from 20-30 feet, while I was still dangling on the line (double rappel) :lol8:

Gee Tanya... We invited you over to join our merry band for this canyon but you told us you had to clean the hamster cage or something like that. :haha:

[CarpeyBiggs]

Mike is Kyrell.

Dang! :ne_nau: Looks fun!

I will try not to say no so much. Everyone keeps saying that same thing to me. :twisted:

[Alex]

Ya honestly tanya, I mean the best looking studs got together and you missed out... shame on you. We even had some R-rated action going on too!

R rated action with studs.... maybe I won't go to the noobfest this year.

You must be in a mellow mood... usually you would be joining the studs in the R-rated action. :lol8:

Oh its me allright. I'd recognize that burly ass and beat up red backpack anywhere. Congratulations Dan. Great Photo. I might have to get me a high resolution copy of that sucker.

[nelsonccc]

I rapped with nelsonslc, the bastard said "Watch this" and jumped from 20-30 feet, while I was still dangling on the line (double rappel) :lol8:

It was my rope. I thought you looked like a solid counterweight. Easily outweighing me by 50 lbs. wink, wink.

You were completely safe, if i remember correctly the biner block was on my side so i could jump all the way down into the water.

No dude, everything was fine :2thumbs: caught me by surprise is all, we had all the water at the bottom so even if I slipped it would have been a soft landing. I wish we got it on film though and my face reaction as you went down :lol8:
