Excellent topic! SO many ways to interpret that!
 
True - although Im struggling to think of any good ones at the moment;)

Great choice Ghandi ?! :clap:

Silly me ... thought it traditional for the setter to be first up ??? :whistle2:

Now - :Ponders: how does one depict hell again ...
 
This section of the forum has a sticky 'competition rules' . This 'Assignment' idea is a bit less rigid but it kinda assumes everyone knows what it is all about.

Any chance of another sticky with 'Assignment guidance' or similar so a new member knows what it is all about?

Hear, hear - specific to the 'Fortnightly' would be useful as the existing gives a rather 'hard 'n fast' impression ? :smilenod:
 
People don't read the stickies or the rules ;)

However your wish is my command, I'll sort something out today for you. :innocent:

Thanx Steve - seems to do the job ... although there was a bit of (heated ?) discussion, if I remember at the start of the last one about 'old' or 'new' photos ! I believe the consensus might have been 'new' is preferred ... on the basis the whole idea is to encourage everyone to get out and about taking stuff ?

I might be wrong ... :smilenod:

Join in if you like, you can post old or new shots, but in the interests of personal improvement, new shots would nice!

That sort of covers it I thought? If people want to submit old photos dressed up as new ones then they can easily remove or edit the EXIF to make it look original and new, short of someone recognising the shot none of us will ever know anyway. As it is not a competition and there are no prizes, if they do that then they are only deluding themselves. Just my 2p's worth ;)

I can however re-word that sentence if you prefer?
 
The only reason I've not been posting images in these is I feel that it should be an image specifically taken for the job, not something you trawled your archives for...
That's just cr*p, that is and serves no useful purpose. The whole idea (in my mind at least) is to show everyone how you interpret a brief at short notice, not how good your indexing works.

It's normal to add something like "sorry if that offends anyone, blah, blah, blah..." but I just can't be bothered this morning - the weather's cr*p, the house still isn't sold, my ex-Mrs Hates me, I hate her and the kids, I want a new car and can't afford one, I'm getting fatter despite running 5 miles a day and eating less...*rse, s*d, B*gg*r, rant, rant, rant... :hissyfit: :hissyfit: :hissyfit:
 
There was a heartening number of images submitted for the last fortnightly assignment, especially given that it covered the Christmas period, but considering our membership now, it would be nice to see a lot more entries. The same applies to the monthly competitions.

Of course it's challenging, but that's the whole idea, and you'll learn a great deal interpreting a theme in a limited time. There are no losers in these competitions anyway, it's a straight win/win situation as far as gaining experience is concerned. :)

This is indeed the spirit in which the assignment was intended. It was never intended to be a competition as such, just a way to try and get people to think outside of the box, and to get people who would normally be intimidated by the idea of a regular competition to post some images.

All seems to be well with it at the moment, I think the number of entrants for these sorts things will rise in time though, I think it takes a while for people to feel confident enough and comfortable to start showing photo's.
 
I very much take it as an excuse to try something completely different in the way I take shots, rather than a comp. It's only by going outisde your comfort zone that one can hope to improve ones photography ( christ sound like Prince Charles ;) )

How can you be sure, you keep hearing these horror stories of people on the net hiding behind pseudonames pretending to be something they are not :shock:
 
I never saw a poll to vote on this one? :Ponders: Oh well, good topic of choice there. I myself have never attempted anything like this. Cool


Arkady.......Look at it this way man, it can only get better right? :)

Cheers,

Jules

I wondered that as well :)

No complaints here either though. Guess it was felt necessary to lose the delay. I shall continue my 'get no votes' policy here and in the monthly so I never have to choose a theme ;)
 
I think this time Gandhi just chose a theme and nobody seemed to object. :)
 
errr, yeah, sorry bout that one.

Kinda forgot the rules :embarasse :getmecoat

oh well. My plan to take over the world is coming on nicely........

mwuahahahahahahahahaha! *fiddles ends of waxed moustache*

I think I may have forgotten under the guise of either a) expediency or b) not really having any good topics for the poll! ;)
 
ROFL at the Accidental Tyrant - AKA Gandhi:shock:

Nah ... not worth it just for my contractual interpretative sake (that's the job !) :laugh1: as you say it is simply serious fun after all.

But thanx for the response, and the offer Steve ! :thumb:
 
Boons shot is good, like the idea, would maybe darken it a little more, slide the left hand slider along in levels. Good though!

Or should that be HOPE... :whistle2:

Well it certainly ain't charity, is it?

(Sorry mods - this should be in the 'discussion' thread...')

It is.......:D
 
Thanks to Matty and Arkady for their useful comments, and yes i will darken the side a tad more, i liked the theme also, but out of about a dozen ideas i was thinking of, this was the simplest one to do.
 
I doubt i can enter thisi one, my son wont let me dangle him of our cliffs here =[[, hes no faith :D
 
Good idea their Boon........ makes me think of a shot ......now where's my lucky pants................lucky if they'll get anything ;)
 
Who's erased the rubber? First there was one and now there's none :confused-

thanks for bringing it to my attention, i have been deleting some stuff off photo whatsit, and as i had a few of these pictures on there, i got rid of few, however, as you have noticed, one was the wrong one, i have now replaced it with a Mono version.
thanks

EDIT: surely there can only be about a week left now, and i am going to win because no-one else has bothered with a picture :whistle2:
