Title: June's Competition. Theme = Celebrations
Post by: Horney on 01 June 2011, 21:36

Rules.

1) Only one shot per person so choose wisely.
2) All shots no longer have to contain a VW.
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 equipment (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.

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 they get to chose the theme for a following month. Get cracking peeps!

It's a really hard theme... I only came across the fire lantern by accident.

Until then, I was thinking of chocolate boxes.

It's a proper hard theme for sure.

I had some ideas but have been a bit pre-occupied this month. Will let this run an extra couple of days and then pop up the poll.

Jack, you win last months so the theme for July is up to you.
