The Best Photographer in the World 7th - 8th Oct, 2006Hello All,
After consideration of the vast quantities of rain and gloominess pervading the world outside my office today, I've taken inspiration from this and decided that the subject for this weeks competition is
WATER. It's lovely stuff, comes in three basic forms (ice, water and vapour) and is essential for life as we know it. It reflects light, it refracts light, it can be transparent and opaque, it's great stuff (especially when made into beer)!
Your challege is to go out (or stay in) and get a shot of the stuff in one (or more) of these forms (although I wouldn't consider clouds as counting - even though they are water vapour - but it's up to the voters to decide in the end). The water could be in (but not limited to) a lake, river, stream, pond, fountain, bottle, jug, glass, freezer, wine or beer, close up or far away, the choice is entirely yours!
Good luck and Enjoy,
H.Here are the rules as posted by Cedar..First
of all, please do not chat in this thread. If you have any questions
please email me at phil@spirituk.net. This thread is for photographs
only until 09:00 Monday morning (British time - GMT +1).
Hopefully you have read the above message, this is what
you need for the competition. These are your instructions for the
competition.
You must stick to the instructions. If your picture
looks like it has not been taken by following rules and you win, you
will be asked for a RAW/JPEG original. The winner will be asked for a
JPEG version of the file so we can check the time and date it was taken.
You
have from Friday night/Saturday morning 00:00 until Sunday 23:59 (
your local time) to
take your photo and post it up. Your photo must be posted in this thread
before
Monday noon (12:00) (BST). No photo will be accepted if it is not on by this
time.
At this time Cedar will make a poll available as the last
message on the thread. Anybody can vote, whether you have submitted a
photo or not. You can only vote once as you polls remember IP
addresses. You may also vote for yourself but I would hate to be the
idiot that won off their own vote!
When the votes are counted I
will ask the winner to supply me with a small original version so I can
check the time and date on the properties. ALL SHOTS MUST BE TAKEN ON
THAT WEEKEND FROM MIDNIGHT FRIDAY - MIDNIGHT SUNDAY (local time). This makes it fair
as the winner may have a good pic he took 2 years ago, making his life
easy for the following weekend.
I will then officially post the
Winners name. They must then add their Winning title "The Best
Photographer in the World 7th-8th October 2006 (Weekend date you
win) and start a new thread called:
Weekend Competition: The Best
Photographer in the world (14th-15th Oct 06)
and post your instructions.
Your instructions can be anything, however easy or hard. Make your
instructions fully clear.
Even though we may get all this done
by Thurday 7pm, you can only start the comp in the given time. That
makes it more interesting and fair.
I hope this is clear and I really hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend! Goodluck!
