Go Scribble!!

YEEHAW!!! The Photo Comp has just got very interesting 

We have very kindly been donated a Prize for our first months subject "On the Street".  Closing Date for Entries: 12 noon on 31st January 2011.

Scribble has very kindly donated a bottle of Bushmills Black Bush, from the world's oldest licensed distillery, as a prize for this months photo challenge 

Prize giving will take place around a campfire in the hills, early February.

So get that artistic grey matter fired up and lets see what visual treats you can come up with.

P.S. There wont be a bottle of Black bush every month, so make the most of it

Redleader and I are working on that.  We are hopefully trying to line up somebody who knows a thing or two about photography to Judge for us.

We promise it wont be either Redleader or Myself cause we're gonna be entering the competition too

How about we just setup a vote on the thread?  So we have a closing date for entries, and all entries are posted to a thread with a poll.  Everyone can vote for their favourite, and voting will close at a set date.  The person with the most votes get the prize.  I know that's how they do it on a photography forum I use occasionally and it reduces the chances of the judge being bribed

Sounds good.  To be honest I could probably be easily bribed 

I feel sorry for the person that gets little or no votes though..!  MUST TRY HARDER 

[MikeD]

I think..... having a poll on the thread ... is more open to abuse .........  If the judge was beyond reproach - i think that would be better ..... but then - taking things overboard - you could also have a poll - which is the forums favourite ...... why do i say these things !

It's technically a good idea except no-one will want to lug their bulky DSLRs all the way up to a summit 

Think the first months should be "summit camp" seeing as you will all be in the hills next wkend together  I'm sure there would be a few good story telling shots and a few crackin grumpy faces in morning when lens is shoved in bivvy/tent 

Is it only dslrs?

[MikeD]

Any camera at all - phone etc i'd suppose.

As Chase Jarvis would say, "The best camera is the one that's with you. Every day."

Well here's my entry for the photograph a month competition, there I even included the year..



(hmm..well it seemed funny in my sleep deprived mind this morning when I took it....ignore me  )

[Dowser]

Just a reminder... Closing date for this months entries is the 31st January.

Hope your all snapping away.  I'm looking forward to seeing your interpretations.

I'll be honest, the subject matter "On the Street" has been a bit of a challange.  I've had a couple of ideas but I have found them difficult to capture.

Your picture doesn't necessarily have to be of a "Street" of course... You have the luxury of an Artistic License at your disposal.

Happy Snapping  

[MikeD]

aye, not long till closing date, the pressure !
