Father Ted's moon shots are brilliant and certainly make my attempts look dire. If he can get "space" in the title or description it would definitely be fully compliant subject wise .

It might make judging a bit of a challenge but that is my problem and I'm keen to try and keep this competition as open and wide as possible in some, probably naive, hope that we can revive the low level of entries we have been getting in the last few months .

Yes we did but that was more focused on open space and Landscape. Here I'm hoping that we can open this out into a greater range from macro upwards with perhaps an emphasis on the use of a space which is why I called it spatial rather than space.

Does that make sense?

Glyn

P.S. if you want some inspiration try doing an image search for "The space between".

Spot on - Spatial or Spacial - of or relating to space.

Our bookshelves would definitely fall within a "lack of space" and in times past, when my wife was a library assistant, might have been "controlled space" although now they are more like "chaotic space" .

In thinking about this subject I also wondered if a defined or measured space might be, for example, the gap in a spark plug and possibly opens up some macro interpretations.

I hope this helps,

Here is the place for discussion about fortnightly competition #60 - Spatial.

As is traditional I will stop looking in here once the first entry has been submitted.

Just remember that this competition will close at 6pmGMT on Wednesday 2nd Feb.

Good luck,

Glyn

For this competition I would like to see an image that has some sort of spatial attribute. I think this could range from a wide open space to a small space or even an absence of space including things like a tidy space, an untidy space, a tight space, an empty space, a public space, the space between two or more objects, a defined or measured space, a controlled space..... In fact anything where you can get the word “space” in the picture’s title or description. This might include images from macro to landscape or even possibly abstract.

The usual rules apply. The image has to be taken with a Pentax camera or Samsung DSLR equivalent and be shot within the duration of this competition (20th Jan to Feb 2nd). Please include camera details and shooting time and date with your image.

This competition will close at 6pm GMT on Wednesday 2nd Feb.
Good luck and I look forward with some anticipation to seeing your entries.

Gosh, what a surprise. I had Aliengrove's cold valley as my winning entry. However many thanks Darlene for your great set of comments, judging and, of course for giving my last minute entry the winning slot.

I also have to add my humble thanks for the excellent way you handled my rather grumpy comments about the choice of subject at the start of the competition.

Rather unexpectedly the choice of a new subject is mine now. I will have a think about it overnight and set a new challenge tomorrow.

Struggling a bit with this subject but today, just in time, we had a frosty morning and I had to scrape the car .

Edit to correct usual typos

They both look very nice and having recently lugged my Manfrotto (055ProB & 460MG head) up a few hills I was possibly in the market for a light weight equivalent but I find £300 somewhat expensive. For my limited use I think I'll be happy lugging the extra 2kg around in the knowledge that I could put that cost saving towards something else .

Glyn

Many thanks for a setting an interesting subject, a good set of comments and excellent judging.

Congratulations to our winners and everyone else for a great set of interpretations.

Glyn

Many thanks, I think I have done enough interrupting today but I might apply some effort towards an interpretation.
