Fortnightly Competition #29: CARS
The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old-fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very mudd...

Fortnightly Competition #29: CARS
Well thank you Hefty. That was one of about 100 shots I took at the dealership and I was trying for just what you saw the plane of sharp focus including the text and as much of the wheel nuts and water as possible. I thought it was a tough call on this competition as there were a very varied grou...

I even have got one pic of a red Ferrari ! :shock: In my portfolio too. ...It does not fit in the time frames :( A good reason to go back to Sicily (besides the better temperature over there) ;)

There are Piaggio Ape as Tuc Tuc in Sri Lanka. I even established that I could get a door for my own Piaggio from one of the drivers. Not all the Tuc Tuc that claim to be Piaggio are though. Yes I do own an anorak. I gather the Piaggio is the best one to have. It should have electric start for on...

Fortnightly competition #30 - Curves
The topic is 'curves' how you interpret it is up to you but the main focus of the photograph must be a curve. Could be a road with a sweeping bend, the curve of seaside bay, the way the skin of a pepper works, the curve of a horse's fetlock (or whatever bit is curved) - up to you. But the most impor...

Fortnightly competition #30 - Curves
We got curves of varied types which is good – pity there weren’t more entries as you can always have fun with curves. As always the judging is all mine alone and I hope I don’t give any unintended offence nor let my prejudices get in the way of sound judgement! Matwhittington – bench. Benches ...

Fortnightly competition #30 - Curves
Thanks Mike for your considered judging and congratulations to Dr Mhuni for an excellent winning photo. A tough choice and some really good quality entrants again this time :) And yes I do have a couple of tripods but I liked the noise / low light atmosphere, ultimate sharpness wasn't my aim. Alt...

ken I like the perspective on your cup and ring rock. I must admit I tend to focus on the carving and not its environment in these situations. Its strange to think that these were cut using deer antlers and stones and here we are with digital cameras. Dave

Just back home after two days away. Where are all the entries?:? This isn't such a tricky subject is it?!

Just back home after two days away. Where are all the entries?:? This isn't such a tricky subject is it?! Just entered - had to go all the way to St. Malo to get the right shot :!: Just think of the expense - all for this competition :D

Fortnightly Competition #31 - Juxtaposition
One of the things I often find myself doing in photos is juxtaposing distinct elements in a shot. In this fortnight's comp I'd like to see other peoples' take on this basic photographic device. I myself generally tend to go for foreground and background juxtapositions, but I'm open to all takes on t...

Fortnightly Competition #31 - Juxtaposition
Just back from a w/e away. I see there is some confusion over what I mean (or what juxtaposition means - even I'm getting confused now:D!). Basically I'm looking for shots that contain a number (probably two, though it could be more) of distinct objects placed within the frame. They don't have to b...

Fortnightly Competition #31 - Juxtaposition
Right, time to judge. BTW I missed out Xmas in my post above (I was tired!). It should have read 'traditional last minute Xmas rush' - I wasn't moaning about late entries! Quite the contrary, for a while it looked like I'd only have a few to choose from, which was disappointing. I think that if I...

blimey is snowing that bad there in herts? The bus hasn't been up my lane since last Thursday. I have been fortunate that my upstairs neighbour has a 4x4 (I never thought I'd ever say those words!). As I rely on a motorbike for transport life has been a little difficult lately. I must get myself ...

Fortnightly Competition #31 - Juxtaposition
Stefan, don't worry about it too much. There are several possibilities: 1. You have seen a similar photo some time ago but forgot about it. It came back to you when you were thinking about this competition but disguised itself as a new idea. I know it has happened to me before and you only can be ...

Ha! finally we can get our own back on the pesky, globe trotting Doc :twisted: I'm not sure what to have for breakfast in a mo'. Should it be a streaky bacon butty or just Marmite on toast? oh... I don't know, I might go for some marmalade today... but then I haven't had kippers for a while. . Ar...

Your drizzle might possibly help to soften my ice :( I had to chip some away so I could open my gates to get the car out - the roads have been well treated here - but my back yard is solid ice !! I've a K-x screaming to be used and I can't get it out in these conditions .
