August 2012 Photo Challenge - Nice pair - Entries
Discussion
***Entries only in this thread, discussions in the other thread***
I've chosen a slightly tongue in cheek topic title for this month, 'Nice pair'.
Whilst you can head down to the beach for the obvious 'candid' (I certainly won't hold that against you 
), I'm hoping the topic is open enough to also include opportunities for architecture, nature, landscape, abstract, portrait, still life and more.
Remember, this is the 'Challenge', so shots must be taken in August.
As usual, the rules:
The photos taken must be your own work
The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the last day of the Challenge month
The exif must be posted with your shot
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month
The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials.
There will be two threads that need starting: The Entries thread to commence same time as Discussion thread. In the Entries thread only one picture should be entered. Any others you wish to discuss should be posted in the Discussion thread.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo. Some people still have black and white tellies, and use these stupid 3G phone things for browsing the interweb Links to larger versions are permissible.
Good luck, and more importantly, have fun!
