Sorry, hate to be a PITA, but can we be specific about the gallery closing time?
I think what Keith intended is:
Close gallery for submission on Jan 14 at 23:59:59. Is this correct? In other words, you can upload to the gallery on the 14th, but not on the 15th. Right?
Btw, I'm not sure what time zone we go by, but that's another matter.
Do the pix have to have been taken during the 14-day period? In other words, if I took a photo using the same camera/lens combo, but happened to take it a few days before Dec. 17, can I still submit it?
