Title: Photography Comp September - Missing
Post by: T_J_G on 13 September 2011, 18:40
Right, let's get this up and running again....

The theme for this month is 'Missing'

Rules:

1.) Only one shot per person DO NOT POST MORE THAN ONE IMAGE IN THIS THREAD.
2.) All shots must relate to the theme
3.) All shots must be your own work
4.) Photoshoppery is allowed (But detail of what's been done included with submission)
5.) A naked hotty 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.
8.) The photo must be taken for this competition, entries from your archives will NOT be accepted.

Now because we are half way through the month the last submission will be Friday 30th September at 11.59PM, i know that only gives 2 weeks but then we can start at the beginning next month.

Another idea is to have the submission thread running for 3 weeks of the month then the first week of the month can be used for voting and then 3 weeks of submissions, saves having a month of voting. Yay/Nay?

Get busy snapping people!

Given rule 5.) A naked hotty will clearly win.
Then the "Missing" could just be the hotty's clothes.   :laugh:

Anyone got a willing lady ?

Got two shots to choose from already - saw the title and picked up the camera, went outside to the Passat - missing is easy with our daily.  :grin:

Well I suppose someone's got to get the ball rolling on this:

50mm prime stopped right down, then I drained the levels down a touch in RAW.

Theme is a bit strange though really.

I'm feeling a little bit uninspired.

But I'll give it a go later.

I actually felt quite inspired by it, because it was so broad - huge opportunity.

Just been out on my lunch break with my camera hoping to find some ideas. I have a few I can fall back on, but nothing I am that excited about.

Will at least try and enter for CC though.

I've not had time to do mine, got the idea just haven't have the time  :sad:

one week extension, given the comp started late?

Problem being that it's short so that the next one can run till end of month as it's easier to remember when the submission has to be in...

Gate hole with no gate and no fencing around it. Would you prefer me to take another one more to your liking?

Thats fine dude, just some pics need a bit of an explanation!

Ridg- only did this till a moderator takes over, my thoughts were 3 weeks submission, one week vote, then who wins picks the theme that will run almost immediately after the vote. Instead if being a month behind.

The mods can take over now :grin:
