Lets hope there are loads of entries! No excuses about the weather, there should be plenty of subject material around the house

Nice shots, but noisy as others have said. The second one looks over-sharpened too.

Nice set, especially the one in the chippy. Some great street shots recently, Tim. Has anyobe taken offence yet? Some of them seem to have clocked you!

Thanks! Suffering now though!

Here's the thread for discussion of the fortnightly competition Mono/Chrome. Apologies once again for the lateness in setting the competition. As is customary I will make myself scarce from the thread after the first post.

I look forward to seeing your entries!

Apologies for the late posting of the fortnightly competition, I was a bit surprised to find I had won the last one, in fact a PM from JudithAnn alerted me to the fact! Also, I got back from work late Wednesday and yesterday was my 50th birthday, so I spent the day organising a party and had a few too many last night!

As some people have not been able to get out and take pictures due to the UK weather recently, I thought I would set a subject that can be done anywhere!

I love how chrome and silver looks when converted to mono, so I am asking for entries showing shiny things in mono, to be interpreted however you like, as long as they are mono and show shiny things!

Normal rules apply, all entries must have exif attached or shown under the picture, and be taken on Pentax or equivalent Samsung equipment during the period of the competition, which closes 6pm BST on 22nd Decemeber. I look forward to seeing your entries!

Jon.

Edited for hungover spelling mistakes!

Thanks David for my win! I have not won a comp before, and forgot to check! Congrats to JudithAnn and Glyn too! Apologies I have only just noticed I have won, so will set the next comp forthwith!

PS thanks i-Berg for taking me to the place where I took my winning picture!

I like the mono one, as Gareth said, it would be even better with a bit of work.

If your farmer has a teleportation device, why's he hanging around in Lincolnshire in that weather?

I like the bluish one best, nice shot. I think a small crop off the bottom would improve it, but that's maybe just me.

I really like the shot of Westmister tube station, I would love to see it with some processing to bring out that lilac colour and the detail a bit more. It looks like it has a bit of distortion too.

I can't say the rest do much for me though, but as you said, they are shameless tourist phots!
