The forth Photo Competition theme is 'COLOUR.'

Seening as it is such a dull time of year, it's might be quite tricky! But I'm sure we'll get some lovely photos at the end of it.



************************************************** **********
Rules *

- Photographs must be taken by you - no nicking them off the Web
- Photos must be taken specifically for the contest - get out there and get snapping!
- One picture per person.
- No excessive digital manipulation (i.e. adding a more dramatic sky from another photo to your picture). Playing with levels, saturation etc is ok though.
- Equipment: Anything goes as long as the results can be seen from here.
- Voting takes place when the contest closes.
- The winner of the contest gets to choose the next subject.
- Late entries will not be included in the voting.


************************************************** **********
This is open to anyone and the more people the better. Even if you don't want to take pictures, I'm sure all the contestants would appreciate your comments.

Now due to Katcal's slap dash approach to ending competitions!
It's going to be a short comp this month. ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 1ST.

Please, Please everyone make an effort to get your photos taken and in on time! Colour is every where, so it should be easy.

NOTE: Any photos that have followed theme of 'color' will NOT be accepted.



*reborrowed from Katcal's quotation of Mal's quotation of my original, mysterious source.

So there may not be so many black and white entries this time?

Hey, who knows, that could just be the best way to make your entry stand out... Nice theme Rinso, but isn't it a bit of a short run ?

I'm getting my shiny new Nikon D80 tomorrow (Hurrah!) so I'll be participating, as long as I finds something to shoot! :-D

It is a bit of a short run. But i'd like to get the comp back on track, going from random dates pushes my anal retentive button. Also i kinda think it will be easier to drift off... time between compts will get bigger and bigger and people will lose interest. Besides it's a relativly simple theme. One days playing round with the camera in your house could easly give you a great photo.

I've just got my photo but the damn computer won't let me download it. Will work on the problem and get it submitted.

I do defenitely have ideas, but I barely got my analogue camera to work again - I need a few days to develop, so if I don't get around making the pictures by Tuesday, I'm as good as out for reasons of time management.

That is not to say i don't agree with Rinso re-introducing timelines into this project, because I really think it is a good idea.

I have now a flickr - account, and if I don't make it into the competition, I will force all of you to view the pictures there. :badgrin:

Damn, I wish I'd seen this earlier. I took a picture of all the different coloured beach huts in Brighton yesterday, I haven't had a look at it yet but I bet it would have been perfect for this...

Great topic nevertheless. I think I've formulated an idea in the time it took to type this.
