Sounds like we might have a record PU turnout for this autumn's Goths. It will be my fifth time there.
Tell me more about the bacon butties.

Judging by the reaction this week's competition should get many entries. I must point out though that the subject is 'Public Art' of any sort, not only graffiti.
David

Public art, not just a copy of work by someone else, but your interpretation of that work. So if its a piece of sculpture or a painting it needs to be put into the context of its surroundings, possibly capturing the reaction of people viewing it. You may want to show the setting in which it stands, juxtaposed with buildings etc. Controversially even graffiti is acceptable as public art in this competition.
As ever the rules are simple, the picture must be taken on a Pentax or it's closely related Samsung model. I'm Hoping to get more entries in this than have so far been submitted to the fortnightly competition which I'm judging.
David

Nice work i-Berg, the sepia certainly gives it a vintage look.
Andrew, this engine definately looked better in it's original red but about a year ago they painted it black as it appeared after World War 11 before it became British Rail green. I understand it will eventually appear in red again. I got pictures of it in red last year.

We're halfway through the fortnight and already there is a clear winner. Come on you late arrivals. As an encouragement I want to emphasise that industry can mean any sort of work from agriculture and fishing to baking apple tarts and knitting tea cosies.

No 2 is an arresting image. The others have already advised you on how to make it even better.
David

No. 1 for me without a doubt. It has a warmer colour balance and its a better portrait; you see more of her facial expression. Keep on snapping candids, you are good at it.
David

Amazing sharpness and lack of noise. At 2000 ISO this would be pretty messy on a K10, or at least it would if I had taken them.
David

Here goes then.
