I call on the power of the Chiefsplanet Interwebz!!
 

This is one of those stuff the ballot box requests, I entered a picture in the National Geographic Photo Contest. I think its pretty cool, take a look and if you agree I'd love to have you like it.

Thats all no spam, no salesperson will call, no rules to learn. If you don't like the picture just pass and its all good. Any way here is the link to the contest:

The picture is also listed in the CP Photo thread if you want to see a much much bigger version.

Would appreciate anyone that helps out with some rep and if I win anything I'll give a framed 36" x 12" copy of the print to someone that liked it. Fair enough?

Thanks and let me know if you did like it for your rep present.

The large pic is about 3/4 of the way down the page at 50 posts per page.

Thanks!

LIKED and posted to FB asking for more likes.

Holy crap that is awesome.

How long was the exposure on that shot?

What do I do? I didn't see a vote.

I think you have to be a member.

I registered.

Oops, you may have to go to the "Vote" hyperlinky.

Voted.


This is a pretty cool pic too:

Actually I think there is just a little facebook like thumb at the bottom of the picture. Click that and you are done. No need to join the site.

Holy Shite:

yeah that's what I did and what I told my fb friends to do. I think you can also RATE each pic but it appears that LIKES will have as much impact as anything.

I can't find his in the rating system at all.

I FACEBOOK LIKED your photo and I personally like your photo.
Did I do it right?

Neither could I. They did not do a coherent job of putting this together! Owell, we should at least try to LIKE the shit out of it so he gets the judges' attention!

I think it cuts off the "like" option after you do it once.

Done.

Done and done. That is a glorious shot. Reminds me of why I love living in the Southwest and desert landscape.

It does. I actually used to program a whole set of backend tools to create and manage FB contests like this. The only way to "cheat" is to make a ton of FB profiles.. which is way more hassle than it is worth. Best thing to do for votes is to share it on FB.. which is exactly what Nat Geo wants to happen.

Gadzooks!!! I think you did it right! LMAO

Thank you kind sir!

Done. You are very talented, good luck!

Posted to FB.

That is pretty sweet!

It looks like a Biblical cataclysm.

I clicked the Facebook like button. I assume that's all we can do?

Thats all you need do thanks and rep!

:thumb:

EDIT: Is there a leader-board or something anyway on the site?

Done.

Great pic!

Clicked.

Great photo, man.

Yeah, I'm also confused on how to "vote" for it, but I'd did "like" it, and I HATE liking things so consider your ****ING RAD shot decent. Thanks for pointing out the Summer Triangle in the other thread. That field is so dense I never would have noticed it even though the ST is one of the things I always notice here when I star gaze.

Somewhere between 6,000 years and 13.8 billion years, depending.

My first though is...that is an incredible photo you should be proud of.

My second though is it sucks when big magazines have this because it is basically a rights grab to be able to use a bunch of photos and use them however they see fit under the guise of a contest.

A lot of companies in the outdoor industry do the same with thing.

Video contest guys! Best footage using our product in the field wins xxx. A couple hundred guys jump at the opportunity to give them free use of their work while trying to win a $100 dollar prize and the company collects enough free footage to make most of next years new commercials without all the work.

Amazing shot, Dave!

beautiful shot, I liked it, but it only said 28 likes. Surely the power of CP is failing on this one....

What he said.

Liked!

Done.

You can go here and see how many "Likes" each photo has. Dave's currently has 31.

http://travel.nationalgeographic.com...ecent-entries/

Holy crap! This one has 3,000 "Likes".

It doesn't compare to Dave's, IMO.

very nice Dave ------clicked

I don't generally "like" things, but this one is worth it. AMAZING shot.

There are some great photos on there.

OK that just wrong. Really? That has to be someone that hacked the system theres no way!

Actually its a panorama of 30 second photos so its a pretty short exposure compared to the astro stuff I do.

Probably a bunch of losers on some sports team message board.

Gladly done. Good luck!

I liked it and posted it on my facebook page; I said it was a "Pretty cool pic of our galaxy from a pretty cool place on Earth."

done; and posted on my FB page.
Nice stuff Dave.

It is kinda odd after some of CP's vote stuffing episode in the past :)

where's AussieChief and his magical vote rigging powers?

This.

I asked my friends to vote or I'd slit their throats in front of their families.
we'll see what happens.

LMAO

Awesome :thumb:

LMAO

That's an awesome pic. Looks like a celestial rainbow. Pretty good shot.

Done! Good Luck!

He's on Aussie time I'm waiting for the Australian tidal wave very soon. :D

Done!

Liked and shared on both FB and Twitter.

The photo is so amazing I can't wrap my head around it.


Fantastic work, Dave.

Thanks! The cool thing it is that that photo is the picture of a galaxy, From the inside.

I've masturbated to this picture 3 times already.

It's fairly difficult to do, when you need an account to vote, in this case, a Facebook account.

very cool pic

Liked and shared

I wish the naked eye could take in that much light and process that much detail and scale.



The "ring" of he galaxy along with the "ring" of the Delicate Arch is a nice touch.

Cool picture. It has been liked and linked.

Nice picture Dave Lane! I liked it.

Very cool.

Damn, we're still only up to 67

Stuck on 69, not that thats a bad number or anything :)

FWIW... Made it my Win. Metro wallpaper. Thanks Dave
