Photo Competition Round 20 - Sky - Closes 31/10/2010

Post by Chris_C »

Ok, according to my maths, posting this today gives you all 4 whole weekends to get a piccy sorted, so lots of entries please ;)

The topic this time is "Sky". Interpret it as you see fit, so be creative - it's a nice wide topic, so hopefully everyone can join in. 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!). If you can't manage either of the above, just make sure it's a really good shot :P

The rules (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

*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 31st Oct, so we've got just over 4 weeks! No excuses for not entering are accepted, just get involved!

Good Luck!

How many entries you had? Tomorrow is another crappy rainy day so might struggle for an entry.

Not a great entry so far but then most people always send them in during the last 24 hours. We'll see, shame that we have been struggling recently for entries though :(

I was thinking today actually that a new photo topic could be "landmarks" as we all live in interesting places to park cars next to I'm sure.
