On this page readers will get an opportunity to hang with the " O dog ." This page will become the home of Tidings' photo editor, Orville Hector . In the O-Zone, Orville (or "O," as he is affectionately known) will share with Tidings readers the photos he shot that were particularly interesting. Each shot will be accompanied by a short story that provides some background to the photo. Additionally, in order to share some of his expertise, he will provide a tiny bit of tech talk regarding shutter speed, aperture settings, etc. Within the O-Zone will be another feature called " In The Zone ." IMPORTANT All submissions become the property of the Tidings and may be used for promotions, marketing, news content, or in any way the Tidings may wish to use them. By submitting any photo to ITZ, you are agreeing to release all rights to that photo to the Tidings. Submit to: [email protected] In The Zone (ITZ) will feature shots submitted to the Tidings from you, the readers. It's an opportunity for all of you amateur shutterbugs to strut your stuff and try to impress the professionals. O will select a photo or two that stands out each week and provide his comments. The Tidings welcomes your submissions that can be emailed directly to O in jpeg format only. His email address is [email protected]. All submissions should have "ITZ submission" in the subject line of the email. Each photo should contain first and last name of the photographer, age, date and location of shot, a short description of the shot, and a contact phone number. Additionally, if you wish to ask O a question regarding the shot, be sure to include information about the type of camera used and the settings when the shot was taken. Also include the time of day. If we publish the photo, we will credit the photographer. Note: O's critique and comments are his own opinion and do not represent the official opinion of the Tidings or Ottaway newspapers. O reserves the option to make comments (good or bad) regarding the photos submitted in this section. This page will soon become its own section of the Tidings web site. Pardon our mess as we begin construction of this area in order to provide you a more appealing place to visit. For now, enjoy the shots from O and welcome to ... the O-Zone. June 7, 2006: Watch your step! There's a bird sitting on eggs. Do you see what I saw? I was walking in the back section of SOU where the yard maintenance guys dump grass clippings and such between the football field and the Softball fields. I almost stepped on the bird but I was alerted when it began to move into attack mode. Thank goodness I stopped in my tracks. Take a closer look below. This bird is called a Killdeer and is classified as a shorebird. It is often found some distance from water and frequents only open places, such as fields, pastures, and dry uplands. Golf courses and airfields, with their short grass, are also favorite habitats.
