Originally posted by NordlysThat definition of "until" is used (I think) only in conjunction with "not".

"She leaves until Friday" is incorrect since there is no "not", but "She leaves before Friday" is correct. "Not until" is sort of the opposite of "before".
Thanks for the links, but they don't really help. One of the meanings of "until" mentioned there is "before (a specified time)", example: "She can't leave until Friday." I can't see how that is different from my use.
BTW, I may submit another entry to keep the one I already entered company, but don't wait for me if I don't. :-) I have an idea, but am not sure if it will come out.

Originally posted by NordlysWoo-hoo. Sounds like a good round. I didn't expect this many photos. I didn't expect to enter any, either. I didn't think this round would inspire me. Still life isn't the type of picture I have just lying around; I usually shoot people (not literally), take nature pics, or go for creating abstract shots. I'm glad this subject was decided on: it sparked my creativity. It was fun creating the pictures. Anybody else feel this way?
...So we are now up to 24. 🙂

Which is great, as I hope I get some feedback on how to improve. However, let it be known that am using my phone camera and looking to get a digital one pretty soon! (see digi slr camera thread).
I took about 300pics for this round to come up with 3 half decent ones. Projects like this are great. I always loved photography (as my dad used to be a photographer and directed documentaries before retiring - so it kinda runs in the family blood).
Look forward to that magic link and to seeing everyone's entries. Not here to win, but purely to learn.
Best of luck to all.
Originally posted by pinkthunderYes, I feel exactly the same way. (I rarely shoot people, though.)

Originally posted by mochironIf you already have one (or several) or can produce something fast, you can still participate. The deadline has been moved to this evening, and I won't start the main work on the competition until tomorrow afternoon, so if you send something before tomorrow 14 UT, it will be included in the competition. Anything sent later will not be included in the voting section, but could still go to the non-voting section.

(Did I get the "until" and "before" right now?)
