February Photo Comp

[rictus01]

funnily enough my first thought was an exploded rain drop from a rainy day scene with a glode in it, but it couldn't be done with just the camrea, still learning this photographic thing so concentrating on the shot it self, photoshops tricks and manipulation are something I'll play with down the line although I've got most of the basics.

Cheers Mark.

• "Photoshoped" images: ALL images in the scene have to be your own work, putting a decent picture onto a background that you didn't take isn't exactly fair.

• If you do photoshop the picture please mention it when you post it. Not that there is anything wrong with editing them, it just will allow people to make their on decisions about voting.

I can't take a photo of the earth so took the photo of the earth and moon from a book. if it not allowed I'll with draw it and do another.

I wouldn't worry about it, as was seen last month, K's bear was hardly "wildlife" was it (although it did bring a smile) it would seem the "rules" are somewhat flexable to an extent.

But I don't (and could be wrong here) think I've seem anything so overtly Photoshopped so far

Cheers Mark.

Ooooh - I seem to have set a bit of a toughie.

As long as the photo of the photo of the earth (if used blah blah blah) has been taken by the poster, and they let folks know how the end result was achieved that I see no probs. People can then vote whilst in possession of all the information - if you get my drift.

It may mean that this time a very brief explaination may need to be attached to each shot when Richie complies the 'Voting Thread' - but I see no harm in that.

I'm glad I may be causing a little flexing of creative muscles though.

Edit:
This is also a theme I have had bumbling round my head for a while, so am interested if any of the ideas I've toyed with are similarly thought of by those way more experienced with photography than me. After all, I only normally use the thing to take marketing photos of my work.

Nah, I'm just a trouble maker.

I think its a good subject, especially as I'm racking my brains for ideas. Somel lateral thinking or some creative ideas are whats needed and I'm all out of them at the mo.

I think I might have a crack at this one but am in thr same boat as fizz...not too sure what to do...
