Photo Competition Round 14 - Abstract - Closes 06/07/07

Post by Chris_C » 11 Jun 2008 10:19 am

I'm starting this a nadgers earlier than normal, me and Mr P have come up with a topic, and hopefully by starting early people can get some shots at the BKV to enter (if you are like Steve, it's your only chance to see a working Volvo all year!)

The topic this time is "Abstract". Interpret it as you see fit, so be creative - it's a nice wide topic, so hopefully everyone can join in again :D Standard rules apply, try and make it a 300, if not try and make it a Volvo (or, with the amount of Daf's about lately, I'm perfectly happy to let them play too!)

Once again, the standard of piccies is rising each round, but we don't care how good you think your pictures are, we want to see them!

The rules are more or less the same as they have been in other competitions - all entries are welcome! See below

*Send pictures to me (clcardwell#at#gmail.com) let me know via pm/msn whatever so I check for them! I'll host them for the voting round.

*One entry per person.

*No major photoshopping, If a magazine editor would get away with it, then it's fine (colour levels, balancing, exceeedingly light airbrushing are ok)

*Judging: a new thread will be made in the Photo section, vote for whoever you think is the best (be that your own or someone elses)

*Photos don't need to have been taken specifically for this competition, but don't enter ones we've had in other competitions

*The photos in this round should be either self taken or contain your car...

*If it's not a 300 or at least a Volvo... it better be a REALLY good shot

Closing time is 11:59 PM on the 6th of July, so we've got just over 4 weeks! Hopefully you'll all have time to go and get a shot!

Good Luck!

I could not really figure out any good shots from 360, but I happened to got one shot today that might been possible candidate, even it is not from 360.

I post it in some thread so you can say how bad it is
