    Star [*] Weekend Competition: The Best Photographer in the World 7th - 8th Oct, 2006

    The Best Photographer in the World 7th - 8th Oct, 2006

    Hello 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!

    Cedar

    Hi all, below is my first attempt at the weekend competition;(Studio shots of water drops so far I see - too scary for me yet) A great idea - it has actually made me get up and plan a shot rather than just trust to luck. Having said that I planned to take a shot of fishermen at the river - But there were None! I tried some other options and I think this is the best; please look at my other shots on my gallery and let me know what you think.

    Lurkalot - what is the trail below the droplets? Is the photo rotated?
