Okay, so the Optech TP strap has been won (well done rhody) so the next competition is for a reinforced Q-Strap like the one shown HERE - they are currently unavailable from Q-Strap so here's your chance to get one absolutely free, including free postage.
The strap is completely unused (as I have two others that are regularly on my cameras) and it comes with the integrated D-Ring that attaches the strap to the camera. Being reinforced with a built-in wire the strap provides protection from cutting.

All you have to do to win this reinforced Q-Strap is to post a photo :D

The winner will be the poster of the image that I like best, simple as that.

The theme for this competition is 'People Outside' ... I am looking for a 'street' or 'candid' type photo that specifically focuses on one individual ... there can be more than one individual in the photo but there must be a reason for focusing on the target individual and you can explain why if you wish.

So this could be in a shopping mall, a High Street, a car park, a park, a walk in the country ... somebody working, a funny expression, an interaction with people or environment, engaging in a sport or hobby ... anywhere outside where there are people, so go and enjoy the fresh air and post your pic ... competition ends midnight on Saturday 8th December so you've got 7 days :)

Only photos taken between the 1st and 8th of December please

Does it have to be a new photo taken during the competition dates, or can we use an old one
 
Good point I'll need to edit ... only photos taken between the 1st and 8th of December please ... sorry, should have added that.
 
I'll start on this tomorrow! :D
 
This may not be the best photo anyones ever taken technically but once you said it had to be one person outside, i knew it had to be my favourite little man doing what he loves best - Playing at the park!

So here it is:

I love it :)
 
Excellent - keep them coming :)
 
Just a couple of days left to win the strap ... get your pics in :)
 
You know you are bored and playing with a camera? You look out of the window and see that someone is looking back at you and you get all self conscious? You put the camera down until they are not looking and then you take a picture. You notice that you have been totally busted as they are looking at you in the picture!

The guy at the end of the garden was doing his shed roof and banging and banging all afternoon. I don't know why I took that picture, more he probably now thinks that is how I spend all day, everyday day. Their garden is at the end of ours - never spoken to the guy.

Last day tomorrow if you want a chance to win this strap :)
 
Saw this thread and decided to take a walk around Sunderland in -1 degree temperatures with my camera.
I saw this chap outside a coffee shop, people watching whilst having a smoke, not the least bit bothered about the cold or the wind.

Also come across this chap wandering the high street trying to get people to donate for age concern. He really was trying his best to get people to sign up, think his face says it all.

Pity, looked good :)
 
Some great shots there fellas and thanks for taking the time to enter the spirit of the competition.
The sole criteria for winning was the photo that I liked best and in this instance, as 'gramps' I'm going to award the strap to Just Dave for his 'happy family' shot of what looks like a great day out for excited grandson Brogan (and grandparents!). :)

Congratulations Dave :clap: ... please PM your full postal address and I'll get the strap off to you in the week.


As a consolation prize for another 'young'un' shot and for supporting the two competitions I'm going to send DTS a new Optech TP strap that I forgot I had, so please PM your full postal address Dan and I'll get it off to you in the week.

Thanks to all who took part, I'm sorry I didn't have enough to give you one each :)

Glad to hear it Dan, hope it serves you well :thumbs:
 
I'm sure it will - I'm so surprised at the ruggedness compared with my Polaroid neoprene strap. Far chunkier! Seems great.

Much appreciated :)
