Photo Competition - April

[Mr Olympia]

This month's competition theme is "Red", as chosen by dpSparhawk.

This can be interpreted however you want. Every day objects, unusual objects, play on words, abstract, artistic etc.

Closing date will be the 24th.

Please read the rules below before posting your entry.

Rules:

• Must be your own work.

• Only 1 entry each.

• Entries can be changed once during the competition if you feel you've taken a better shot, but please make a separate post with the new entry and edit out your old image from your previous post, to keep things in the correct chronological order.

• Max file size 800x600 250KB. (There's info on optimising your image size in the sticky of the same name)

• Pictures to be embedded into your post in this thread rather than attached. (Use a free image host that allows hot linking such as imageshack or photobucket and encase the direct link in [IMG][/IMG] tags. There's a quick guide on how to do it here)

• Entries should to be taken for the competition rather than entering a previously shot image.

• Photoshop (or other imaging software) use is allowed, to enhance your image, but please remember this competition is about producing the best photo not the best piece of artwork.

I must be able to manage an entry this month, failed so many other months. I''m sure I can bend the rules enough.

[evilsatan]

Wow hopefully should manage to get a reasonable one here!

[dpSparhawk]

LOL @ you lot already .. I just KNEW someone would mention a tampon PMSL

Well, I thought... we see Red stuff every day, sometimes you notice it, most of it goes un-noticed. So, as Mr O said, anything goes on this (I suppose within reason.. .. don't want to see the missus's monthly's... urrghh )

Abstract, Arty.. So much scope for DoF in this as Dappa already pointed out (although I think he's referring to depth in a different perspective lmao). I think EVERY possible type of photography could be used for this month

Good choice, hopefully see a lot of entries this month with it being a more open topic.

Just a thought, what about starting a new thread for entries only discussions and comments on entered pics stay in this thread and the other is submitted images only , making it easier for voting at end of month and taking some pressure off Mr O compiling the voting thread?

[Pongo]

I suppose axe murdering the missus would be out of the question ?

[N3R0]

So who will be first to post a letter box or old phone box


I need to go back to using my old camera. It takes some serious red eye shots.

sounds sensible to me

[dpSparhawk]

Well, Post Boxes and Telephone boxes are always the first thing that comes to mind.. I reckon if anyone uses those it'll all be about the composition

[ant3b]

I think ill enter one this month the camera is up and running now... w00t! found the charger and all!!

[liveseytowers]

I've just been for a walk i the park and spotted that dog crap bins are bright red lol

I wonder how many selective coluring shots there will be this month as well

[BertRoot]

Hmm my Mrs has red hair but none on the area I would choose to shoot. Back to the drawing board.
