August Photo Competition - Discussion Thread

[CivicMan]

Having just tramped home in an absolute deluge from the Pride Festival here in Brighton, I've thought an apt theme for this months competition is going to be " A Very British Summer ". Nice wide ranging topic - people, landscapes, beaches, events, sun, snow or whatever is out there.....!

(Mods, could you "sticky" this please!)

Would you mind sending me one? I seem to survive on the lovely landscapes I find on this forum if you email through profile I will send you my usual email address.

Thank you

You don't have to be British to enter. How about making an entry based upon your own (I assume foreign?) idea of what a British summer may entail?

And if you're not in the country, you can always create a still life image from wherever you are. It just requires some imagination

Cheers John, I just hope there's going to be more blue in the Sky up North than in your pic above (which is awesome) when we head for Skye tomorrow

The last ever shot taken with my Old Konica Minolta.. D300 is a different beastie altogether.

Thanks, confused me as you'd changed your username!
Mine was taken in some field behind Chesterton Mill near Gaydon, Warwickshire.

My entry was taken in Helensburgh yesterday on a "pleasant Summer drive"
