Title: CHAT-50:50-Weekly Comp 18-26/4/20

50:50

This is the CHAT THREAD

The ENTRIES THREAD is HERE (https://cameracraniums.com/forum/index.php?topic=5494.new#new)

Time to try something that might (or might not) be a bit of fun. This week's challenge is 50:50, or Half and Half. Take two images and combine them in such a way that half of the image is of one picture and half of another - they do not have to be of the same scale, but should combine to make one sensible (or stupid) combination. I'll add some examples to this thread so you can see what I am driving at.

Interpret and edit how you wish, no holds barred on the PP.

Pictures to be taken between now and Sunday 26th April 2020
Pictures to be posted in the entries thread no later than 23:59 Monday 27th April 2020.
Poll will be up Tuesday 28th April 2020.

Winner to be announced Saturday 2nd May 2020.

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 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)

There is, of course, no reason why the split cannot be vertical or diagonal . . .

I seem to be getting my camera out rather rarely just now so did last weeks and this weeks entries on the same day when I saw the theme come up. Might have another go if situation presents itself this week

My trusty old Psion llXP which dates from the late 1980s and was my main on the move tool for complex financial calculations and data storage. It still works, although the datapack for the financial calculator no longer functions*. The bottom half is my current phone.

*Later - got it working - took the pack out and put it in the other port :) I cannot for the life of me remember how to use it!

My photo didn't quite go to plan, as in I didn't take a photo. I completely lost track of time yesterday, and sat down to watch Homeland and at about 1000 last night my wife asked me if I had taken the photo I had been talking about all day.  :doh: :doh:
As a result I had to go through my archives and this was the best I could do.

Fire and Ice.
