WEEKENDER TEN 31-10-08 to 3-11-08

Postby Big Red on Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:32 am

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: ... man
Theme 2: ... cloudscape
Theme 3: ... family
Theme 4: ... emotions

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 31-10-08 and close it at 8AM Monday 03-11-08.
Pics to be entered by 12 midnight 03-11-08
voteing to be from 12 midnight 03-11-08 to 12 midnight 05-11-08

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

Maybe you could take photo of yourelf having a "deja vu" moment. :mrgreen:
And frankly I need the practice.

Seriously, we do work from different lists. I'm pretty sure I've duplicated some of the Weekend themes as well.

Hi Pucara,

normaly you would post the pics in the images section and just put a link into this thread.

that allows everyone on the forum to see your pics and comment if they wish.

cheers :mrgreen:

Again, surprisingly difficult topics.
My Votes:
Theme 1: ... man
Colin_12 for a stunning old school (Before Leonardo!) portrait. Honourable mentions to Big Red and pucara for an interesting concept
Theme 2: ... cloudscape
Pucara
Theme 3: ... family
Colin_12
Theme 4: ... emotions
A close call. All are excellent. I'm going to give it to Andy as the topic was emotions

Man: Colin.
Family: Mr Darcy. What a vibrant family!
Cloudscape: Big Red. Although I would have liked more of a silhouette.
Emotion: Colin. Very colourful.

Theme 1: ... man
colin_12
Theme 2: ... cloudscape
Mr Darcy. Nice to have some foreground interest, rather than just a picture of the clouds...which is what I would have done!
Theme 3: ... family
Mr Darcy
Theme 4: ... emotions
A very hard choice between Andy, Colin_12, and TonyT. Andy gets my vote, only because he got two emotionS!


No entry from me this time. Sorry about that. I was stuck inside all weekend with the old man and the rest of the family watching the clouds roll by... :shock:
