CHAT thread weekly challenge 9th - 15th August Subject: Windows and Doors

ENTRY thread can be found here;
http://cameracraniums.com/forum/index.php?topic=4432.0

Any image that has a window or a door or both, in it. Modern, old, run down, ruined, broken, rusty, a still life, anything interesting to do with doors and/or windows.

I wanted to go for 'Your best image of the week' to attract more interest, but I didn't think that would go down well with us regulars as it's too generic and often hard to judge. Plus we have the IOTM for that anyway.

As usual, no restrictions on PP.

Pictures to be taken between now, 9 August 2015 to 23:59 Sunday 16 August 2015 .
Pictures to be posted in the entries thread no later than 23.59pm Monday 17 August 2015.
Poll will be up Tuesday 18 August 2015.
Winner to be announced Saturday 22 August 2015.

The Rules for the weekly competition are...

By entering you agree to take responsibility to
Post a topic on the Sunday (or sooner) following your declared win
Create an entries thread
Create a chat thread
Create a poll for that weeks comp and declare the winner on the Saturday
(if for any reason there is a problem and no subject is posted by the winner by Monday night admin will advise second place winner to post the topic asap, do the poll etc)

In case of a tie, the first entry posted wins.

have tried calling it a 'challenge' rather than a 'competition' as people often like a challenge but aren't competitive with their photography. Just an idea, may not work however, we will see.

Sadly no. After the kitchen, it will be new flooring, and then blinds for a series of very large windows.
Then (if I still have money left) I will have to hunt for a rug, or rugs, plus some more furniture.

And all this, leaves the bathroom and second bedroom for a later date!

All I could take a picture of is green grass from my front room window and I am not entering that.
Back is still playing me up so nothing from me.
As I have said before this is where archive pictures come into their own, but not aowed on this forum.

Sorry to hear you are laid up Jeff - hope you make a speedy recovery.

I've gone for a version of the bric a brac shop entrance in my nearest village. From our visit to the market yesterday morning.

Hope it works.

You've got your wish for the next competition though, as I'm sure you can do a tabletop image of one of the tools of your trade!
