My auto-off function is set to off because I find it incredibly annoying when exploring a subject if the camera keeps switching off.

So my battery only drains if I forget to switch off, which so far since 1969 has not happened, with any camera. There will no doubt be a first time.

As regards the flash, that's interesting, unless it was a coincidence and the battery was almost out anyway.

Rules lax? Never! There just aren't many of them.

We have a team of scary looking enforcers to ensure compliance with all regulations....

Then I apologise - must be a victim of the cache on my machine showing me the previously stored image.

Sorry, still too big, please try again! I'm not being pedantic for the sake of it, but have to have a cut off point if the guidlines that were requested are to be meaningful.

I've let 801 pixels and 803 pixels go so far, but 815....wherever next!

One image ddleted that exceeded 800 pixel limit. Please feel free to re-post it at the correct size.

Thanks!

What about a mineral processing plant?

Good point. It's lateral thinking, or thinking outside the box if you prefer!

There's almost always another way of looking at something, and I think that's great.

"Representing ideas in geometric and other forms, not the forms of nature" is what Chambers' dictionary says about abstract.

"A vegetable organism, or part of one, ready for planting or lately planted" is what it says about plants.

It should be possible to create abstract images out of plants, but how broad or narrow that is is up to our judge!

Congrats Iceblinker, your turn to set the theme and so it's over to you...

Thanks for the judging, Lilly!

Skull Tree

A combination of a skull shot in Egypt on Kodachrome 200 with 50mm lens and a tree trunk shot in England on an *istDS with 18-55mm lens.

Unfortunately I didn't do well at all because the winning bidder from China was unable to make the payment.

So the lens is relisted and so far not reaching the same dizzy heights! But we shall see, because it's got time yet.
