Weekend Competition 20th & 21st Jan 2007

Silhouettes: (in black and white)

This can be indoor or outdoor...anywhere. It doesn't have to be sunlight...any light can shape a silhouette. I'm keeping it black and white just for a change and it'll also help us concentrate on the light which is what makes a good silhouette in the first place. Also a chance to maybe do a bit of dodge and burning to really get those tones punchy depending on your style.

Weekend Competition 10th - 11th March 2007.

Gets harder week ,by week, however inspired by,

• DBs....... Canvas, brill shot really calm feel to it.
• Frojs......Chillis, colour on mono.
• Cathus.....Red Rose, stunning, posted a few weeks ago.

To try and narrow it down somewhat, I decided on "The colour RED"

The shot whatever you wish, but the main odject/subject/item etc in red.

Hope this eases the the task (Hee Hee) heads for the door.

Good Luck to All.
