WEEKENDER SIX 27-06-08 TO 30-06-08

Postby Big Red on Thu Jun 26, 2008 4:01 pm

The aim is to pick 4 themes and everyone who wants to have a go at them can post up their 4 pics in the image section by midnight after the closing time and put a link from their thread into this thread.

Any DSLRusers Member who cares to can then vote for their favorite on the four themes and post up in this thread with any comments if they care to make them.

The Themes are:
Theme 1: ... Urban Landscape
Theme 2: ... Way of Life
Theme 3: ... Car
Theme 4: ... Wear and Tear

Voting lasts for 48 hours then i will tally up the votes and post up here.
If you win ... you get nothing but praise.
If you cheat ... you get nothing but Karma.
You cannot vote for your own pics.

Rules:
Pic must be taken in the Challenge Period by the entrant.
Any PP is allowed as the voters will say what is too much
Pic 800 on longest side.

We will start it at 5PM Friday 27-06-08 and close it at 8AM Monday 30-06-08.
Pics to be entered by 12 midnight 30-06-08
voteing to be from 12 midnight 30-06-08 to 12 midnight 02-07-08

Don't forget ... its just for fun so even if you didn't get a fantastic pic for a theme ... post it up anyway

Good luck.

Hi All

Thanks Big Red for some excellent topics for this weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to get the pics I really wanted, but I had a bash anyway.

Urban Landscape and Way of Life had unlimited possibilities. I'm, looking forward to seeing the other entries.

http://dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33004

We're away on holidays this week, and not sure about net access, so Sarahmac and I may not get a chance to vote.

Thanks again for the perfect excuse to get out and play.

Theme 1: ... Urban Landscape ...... Louie (with an honourable mention to Sarahmac...:))
Theme 2: ... Way of Life ............ I can associate with Mr Darcy, now that I'm in a flat with no garage...
Theme 3: ... Car ...................... Louie. All it's missing is some scratches and creases on the print, and someone narrating with a fake English accent about the war effort or something...
Theme 4: ... Wear and Tear ....... Mr Darcy, with an honourable mention to Big Red.

I for one don't mind who you vote for. The rules say you can't vote for yourself. Says nothing about parents, children, wives or husbands.
If you really think Dad has done the best work, vote for him. I did. :wink:

I might think differently if every month you always vote for your dad on every theme. If that happened I would be tempted to request a rule change. but until it does...

Thanks BR. I look forward to the next challenge.

Also, Pam is thinking of joining up just so she can participate in this challenge series. She really enjoys the thought process of working out what to shoot for a specific theme. Mind you when she does join up, the quality of my approach will go down. as she will probably no longer share her ideas :)
