So there we were, (yes, we have a panel) four of us mulling over the entries for our current photo competition.
A fine selection of entries indeed. As per my intention subjects were varied and imaginations tested.
After much debate and consideration we had a split decision!… Continue reading “Results of Photo Competition No. 28”
Drip, drip, drip.
Entries for the current photo challenge appear to have dried up!
So. here’s a gentle reminder, deadline is this Saturday.
Water, any form, anywhere, remember water doesn’t even have to be the subject just important to the shot.
Since posting the challenge we’ve had the jubilee flotilla, regatta weeks and of course rain (was it not the wettest June on record in some parts?)
Some fine pictures have already been posted but as the old adage goes the more the merrier.
If members are unsure how to insert a picture on a thread there are very clear instructions at the top of the page or here or simply create a new post and I’ll insert it for you.
That, by the way is my daughter on the left (another one of those ‘Dad’s heart attack moments!’)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Water in any form, water doesn’t even have to be the subject, simply important to the picture.
A couple of rule changes;
1) I’d like to see pictures taken this year (2012)
2) Members may enter as many times as they like, all will be considered. I know how frustrating it is to have two or three suitable pictures for our competitions and have to pick only one, so I’ve scrapped the ‘one pic only rule’ for this one.
Water it is, solid, liquid or gas, have fun 🙂
Closing date Sat July 7th (all time zones, I’ll be judging on the Sunday)
Good Luck.
“Oh, no!” said Cyclo, “I’ve found a packet of seeds. Forget-me-nots. Have you forgotten to plant them?”
Haha!
The seeds were from the Alzheimer Disease Society: a freebee. A nice idea, but I didn’t need them.
My garden is full of Forget-me-nots which flower freely Continue reading “Forget-me-not”
Thank you to those who entered the competition. I warn you my standards of judging are entirely subjective and based on my personal culinary tastes. Continue reading “Results of Photo Comp #24”
It’s an every day, ordinary drop of rain water on the hairy leaf of a common-all-garden lupin leaf, but it caught my eye, glistening in the light.
Lots of gardening today, but the sky was overcast, so that my solar-powered radio failed me and I had to collect the old battery-powered one from the bedside! Weeding and ‘Weekend Womens’ Hour’ and an occasional cuppa. Better than shopping any day.
Now that a lot of the winter debris has been cleared the flower beds look a lot more Springlike.
“Food, glorious food!”
I know we have done ‘Eat drink and be merry’, but this time I want the emphasis on the food itself. Photographs of food in any shape or form. It must be edible by most sensible humans. Points will be awarded for the deliciousnessness of the subject. Hint, I am not a vegan. I appreciate that OZ, for example, would be turned on by a bouncy woolly lamb gamboling in the meadow, but he is more likely to succeed if that lamb is photographed on a spit, slowly roasting over a fire.

First of all, thanks all for the kind comments. To tell the truth, the pic of the shadow of the tree on the church was an ‘accidental’ shot. You all know me and buildings 🙂 I was shooting pics of the church and discarded this one from the ‘church’ shots because the shadow of the tree distracts a little from the image of the church I was trying to get. I kept it because, despite not being a shot of the church I liked, I did like the actual composition, and when the subject of the competition came along…
I like dogs. I don’t have one of my own because I travel so much and usually live in flats – I don’t think that flats are the right environment or dogs, they need space. That’s why I have a cat, pop her in her travel bag and she goes anywhere. Mind, I do like cats too. You don’t own a cat in the same way that you can own a dog, they’re much too bloody-minded and independent. I always call my cat my owner because that’s how, I’m sure, she sees me 😀
So, the subject of the next competition is ‘Cat!’ (Note the exclamation mark 🙂 )
Entries please by midnight UK time on the 8th Ocotber. (Extra week because I’m probably going to be travelling in the last week of September.)
Creative heads on!

The next photo competition is entitled: “a photo of an unexpected or unusual reflections.”
To illustrate my idea here is a tree in the glass of my car’s back window: you may have seen it before!
