Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Here are my entries.
A Ranger Apart:
The Apprentice:
Note that the purpose of this category, I understand, is to give those without a complete kit an opportunity to have an advantage here. My picture for this category literally shows an apprentice Ranger. So I have not captured the true spirit of this category. If someone else posts a picture of a Ranger with "mismatched or scavanged gear and garb," or an incomplete kit, don't vote for for me!
I mostly just took this one for fun. This is not a category in which people should be voting for me, in my opinion.
The Battling Ranger:
A Peaceful Meeting:
In the Shire:

Well done, Eric! Bravo, and, as always, way to get the whole gang in on it!
Excellent Gandalf, as well! Who dressed for that one?

I'm a member of a group of SoCal Tolkien enthusiasts called Tolkien Forever. I took the opportunity to get this picture with our resident Gandalf at our last event, the Tolkien Reading Day (in celebration of the Fall of Sauron) last March.

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
I liked how in the 'Peaceful Meeting' pic you were in the shadows. How very ranger-ish of you.

Awesome garb!

Your pics make me sick...with envy! 
Awesome, love the location shots, especially the one with the cave, and great garb! Did you make any of it yourself? Good job!

Very nice! If there's one thing we love around here more than new members, it's new members that dive right in the discussions and post pictures!

Re: Spring Photo Contest 2011
Okay, I am not sure if the rules are that you must be portraying a ranger in your photos entry. If that is the rule then I will probably be dis qualified for this photo. But, here it is.
