Title: July Photo competition submissions - Light Trails!
Post by: Horney on 30 June 2009, 23:15
Barry's choice of theme due to winning last months vote, well done fella.

Rules.

1) Only one shot per person so choose wisely.
2) All shots must contain a VW and relate to the theme
3) All shots must be your own work
4) Photoshopery is allowed (But detail of what's been done included with submission)
5) A naked hottie will clearly win.
6) Details of equipement (Rig, Off camera flash etc) used should be submitted with entries.
7) Cut off date for entries is the last day of the month at 11:59pm.
8 ) Shots should ideally be taken for the competition and not just dragged out from your archives.

All the above should help those voting judge the shots not only on their own merit but also allow those without any fancy gear a fair shot.

At the end of the month a poll will be set up to determine the winner. The winning person will receive naff all apart from the warm fuzzy glow of being a better photographer for that month than anyone else, also thanks to a brill idea from Guy they get to chose the theme for a following month.

Get cracking and post your entries below!

May I direct you to rule 8 and highlight the word ideally.

Others have submitted archived shots in past months and no one complained then.

I am however going to try and take a fresh shot for this compo but I'm proper busy at the moment. This one can stand as inspiration and my entry for the time being but may be replaced later.

Happy Shady :grin:
