May photo competition *** VOTE OFF ***

[Littlepeahead]

Mr Preston and I have consulted and the theme for May is 'Breaking The Rules'.

You might interpret this in the photographic way of not using the rule of thirds or any of the other classically taught rules of photography, or in a more creative way of showing your subject doing something naughty.

Either way, plenty of scope to show off your skills and tell us which rules you or your subject are breaking.

A couple of examples from me... no grown ups on the kids' rides at the zoo

Breaking the rules by sneaking into the site under cover of darkness, I'm just glad I didn't have to explain the "prop" I was carrying :smt075

Me on a hire bike at AR10.

The hire contract stated the bike could not be used to attend or participate in any organised motorcycle group ride or event.
I'm sure they would have had a heart attack had they known there would be 104 bikes on the Saturday rideout.


I can't remember who took this pic so if you do, please let me know.
