Title: Chat for Weekly Competition - LINES - 26th October - 1st November
Post by: picsfor on October 25, 2009, 08:50:28 AM
The subject for this weeks competition is .....

Lines

The theme is 'Lines' but covers the singular (line) and plural (lines). How you interpret the theme is up to you. The theme was chosen to give you as much scope as possible to experiment...

Rules etc are covered under the entry thread for the same weekly competition.

Been out tonight to take my shot as time might be limited for the rest of the week.  :( Was only there for 2-3 minutes before the local plod appeared from nowhere. Went before they could hassle me.  :legit:

what you mean to say it's against the law now to stand on a bridge and photograph vehicles passing under neath?

to take that one stage further would mean no more light trails...

They were nosying around the car which was parked a bit further down the road with the side lights on and no body in it. There's no street lights in the area so they probably couldn't see me on the bridge. That's why I chose that location because of the darkness.

Just posted my entry - I had the same idea as Guy. I did try to think of something else, but nothing worked. One of the ideas I did have was the same as Jinky's entry. ho hum

Anyway super entries this week, some great takes on the subject.

Again another week of really interesting entries that is going to be hard to judge.
Glad it's a poll and does not require the person selecting the thread to cast a deciding vote.
That would make it frightening!

Quick request for one of those who've done it before- how do you set up the poll?

There's a topic just below this one with poll posting instructions, if you get stuck just shout or go a little wrong dont worry it will magically get put right ;)  If you start on it today, lock it in case of more entries up till midnight tonight.

(its easiest to do the poll with 2 windows/tabs, start the poll thread in one and have the entries thread open in another to let you copy/paste the links to the images)
