A very difficult theme me thinks.
I'm getting more workmen in this week, might be able to shoot their performance. Not very much in 'photographic mood' though.
Simply too much going on.

Builders don't move fast enough to count as performance! :2funny: :P
What are you getting done Reinardina?

Ask me what I'm not having done and I'd answer you in half a sentence!
It started with this:

This was the most urgent replacement, and the work is now finished.
Other things on the programme: rewiring, new kitchen, replacement of a storage heater, a new immersion heater, new flooring, curtains, furniture and blinds.
I am collecting quotes to see what I can and cannot afford. The blinds could wait, and so can the immersion heater as I prefer to have showers, and only occasionally want a bath, but the rest is all old and decrepit.
And then of course some redecorating and painting, but I hope to be able to do a lot of that myself.
Good luck, its an expensive time

Just think outside the box Chris there is plenty from any type of sport, motor cars and racing, street performers and buskers, animals, gym, anyone really performing something for someone else or bettering themselves, theatre, bill boards, sure that there is something in your area that will fit the bill. ;)
Well i was in Bath today and saw at least 6 different opportunities to take a performance picture, there were buskers on nearly every corner in the city center. :D
On normal days, I usually have plenty of buskers, but I haven't been out much recently.
So I'm in with a totally different performance.

Jackel, I copied your question from the entry thread here:
phew - think I got it this time ;) are there any FAQ's on posting and album creation?
When you upload a picture, there's a tiny question mark next to the 'Upload Image' caption. This tells you how to upload an image.
How to create albums: Gallery>My Profile>Create/Order My Albums>New Album
Just noticed your (Jack's) shot was taken at the Trojans Club, so two Soton entries in one competition! (Mine was taken at the Boat Show.)
Reinardina - thanks for the help!
Was thinking of the boat show myself - high speed ribs etc- but saw your entry shot and, combined with the dreary sky's thought I would try something else. Found out it was eastleigh carnival on Saturday - after the event :(

Didn't know Eastleigh had a carnival!

A but lame, just a montage of bits of my old car. Fun working out the layers though. I didn't see anything this week that would be legal to photograph here in La Belle, and me trying to do things is more of a palaver than a performance :uglystupid2:
Poor turn out for this weeks competition, perhaps the topic was not correct :(
It's only Monday; people may still be working on them.
At least you've got a good variety of different types of performance!
Here's mine, poor David having to be my model again:

Topic's fine - It is just finding a subject and the time to squeeze one in.
Squeeze one in, between squeezing one out! haha

Naughty! Naughty! :o
My effort. With more time I wanted to bring in some smoke and make it more sleazy jazz club style but as it was a corner of a pub room and time is against me...

Good turn out this week again.
