Just an idea, but we all like taking photos, maybe we should have a monthly competition, with the prize being...... the kudos just probably.

I like that idea.  Would definately get you thinking a bit more before pushing the Shutter Release button.

Any thoughts on rules, if any... e.g. Digital Enhancement, Software used etc.  I'd be happy with a free-for-all but maybe something like image size etc should be restricted.  I went along to a local camera club before Christmas and they ran a monthly competition.  I have their rules somewhere and should be able to dig them out for ideas.

At the risk of being done for plagiarism how about the following:

THE CATEGORIES
At the Water's Edge
Lie of the Land
World View
On the Streets
Wild Britain
Wild Planet
Small World
On the Wing
Sunset to Sunrise
Nature on the Brink
Passion for Travel

That'll get you up to November

Let me know when the category for the month is "a bit dull and misty in the hills today, with not much to see".  I have lots of choice for that one.

I'd like to float the idea in tandem of a "photo afternoon" where we pick a subject and all head out together. That way we can have some time out but since we are all photographing the same thing we can all compare results after and learn from what everyone else knows.

Heh... That's very funny :D  I'd say that would be the busiest month for entries!!!
