You do not need to transform your photo into a postcard, we will do it for you. If your doggy refuses to sit still for photos, you can use any photo editing program to create your ideal memory book of your pupcation travels.
Pupcation Photo Examples
You do not need to know how to use photo capturing software to take good photos of your dog. You can easily use the built in There Camera to capture the magic. On your toolbar go to There>ThereCam>Take Photo Now to snap a pic of your pup.
It’s also okay if you do not know how to use a photo editing program to help you get the perfect shot. All pupcation photo entries will be assigned numbers to be picked at random, so your chances of winning the photo challenge are based on luck and not your photography skills. The point is to get out of the house with your precious pup and have fun travelling the many island locations in the Virtual World There.
The Pupcation Postcard Photo Contest was brought to you by the Dog Days of Summer event in the Virtual World There.
