2. Maximum of two photos per entrant.
3. Only one entrant (post) per month.
3. Photos must have some relevance to the chosen theme.
4. Doesn't have to be taken this month - you can post a photo from your archive.
5. Doesn't have to be from an SLR - Any pic from any camera.
6. Either post your pic up here or send it to (PM me for my email address while the server is being moved) and I'll put it up for you.

And one from me.

Took this very early in the morning early November 2006. To be honest if you look carefully and you're on a bright monitor you can just see the tops of the houses opposite our house. But you do have to squint.

'SQUINT' , I've near gone blind!!!

Not the best of quality pics, as it's taken with a compact digital camera rather than an SLR, but none the less, very dramatic:

This was taken on the slopes in Tignes and isn't a camera reflection trick - that's how it was seen with the human eye. Bit of a rarity, but it's to do with the snow crystals in the air and the angle of reflection.

Beautiful to see :yes nod:

Well since I kinda kicked off the idea of this thread so it's not right that if I didn't take part.

So here are my two photos for this month's competition.... enjoy.

RPN's PIC 1

RPN's PIC 2

Both were taken where I stay. The lochs are part of the residents' estate.

[rpn]

Well, it seems that this thread/competition is not as popular as I original thought by the lack of entries and activities recently.

Closing date is only days away so get your camera out! :nag:

[euan]

I guess it's a bit tricky as certainly we've not had any snow!

[AndyP & Lenore]

OK. A week late, but voting is now open on all the pics above this post. No more entries will be accepted.

Voting will be open until Wednesday 7th January, when the winner will be known and they have the right to chose the subject for next months competition.

Mr P whats this months topic? Or has this been dropped now?

Nae idea what's happen to this thread :confused:
Is the winner going to pick the theme for last month (January) or this or even next month competition? :confused: :confused:

or can one of the Admins pick it instead or just let the thread die of still born death never get off the ground.:rolleyes:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Saltire won. Sent him a PM, posted to this thread. No response. Not sure if he works offshore or what. I'm sure he's been on since though.

Reluctant to just ditch it though, so maybe we should just come up with our own topic for next month.

How about "portrait"?

Mmmm sounds not bad, just gotta decide of what now...:Whistle:

I'll start a new thread.

Busy tonight. Will do it later or tomorrow.

Would that be formal or candid portrait?

[AndyP & Lenore]

Would that be formal or candid portrait?

Probably best to leave that open. The more restrictions we put on it, the less entries we'll get. So, either.:thumbs up:
