Photo Competition Round 9 - Reflection - Closes 05/08/07

Post by petefarrell360 »

The topic this time is -REFLECTION. Interpret it as you see fit, and make sure there's a Volvo 300 in it!

Sorry it's taken so long to get round to sorting another topic. On the plus side, the weather is getting better now, so it should prove better than photographing in the rain we've had lately.

The rules are more or less the same as they have been in other competitions, see below

*Send pictures to petefarrell4@hotmail.com or contact me on MSN and I'll host them for the voting round.

*One entry per person.

*No major photoshopping, If a magazine editor would get away with it, then it's fine (colour levels, balancing, light airbrushing are ok but no sticking photos together and the like)

*Judging: a new thread will be made in General Discussion, vote for whoever you think is the best (be that your own or someone elses)

*Photos don't need to have been taken specifically for this competition, but don't enter ones we've had in other competition

*The photos in this round should be either self taken or contain your car...

*If it's not a 300 or at least a volvo... it better be a REALLY good shot

Closing time is 11:59 PM on sunday 5th August.

Good Luck!

Get involved, lets see a great turn out and effort and such a high level of photography as last time!

Pete

Famous last words No. 856 there I believe Pete... Still, should have been lots of people things to get reflections in, if thats how they wish to interpret!

Just over a week to go everybody! I'm looking forward to some great shots.

I've been wanting to, but no luck in finding myself in a suitable location with camera to hand and a bit of time :(

I'll try and do a quick one or dig one out of the archives just before closing time though ;)

Well, gave the car a wash yesterday and a wax today so it's nice and shiny now ;)

I've done a few pics, not sure how they'll turn out, but I may be going past a suitable location tomorrow so there's a chance I'll get something done then. That reminds me, the cameras memory is full, I'd better take some off tomorrow morning...

Pete, you can probably expect my entry late Sunday evening :P
