Posted February 21, 2012 Welcome everyone! Sorry this took so long, it's a busy time of year for students as I'm sure many of you know. I do beleive this week's subject matter will be Contrast. Either Light/Dark, colour contrast, texture contrasts... even ideological contrasts, if you've got a photo showcasing that. Example: This is just basic Light/Dark... but there are so many more ways to use it! The Rules: - One entry per person - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.) - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. Closing date: Tuesday, February 28 Previous themes: 1: Beginning anew 2: Simplicity 3: Summer 4: Wildlife 5: Black & White 6: Food 7: Macro 8: Farewell 9: Light and Shadow 10: Urban 11: In the home 12: Travel Photography 13: Pets 14: Red 15: Coupled Animals 16: Clouds 17: Green 18: Water 19: Scenic views 20: Invertebrates 21: Sunrise/Sunset 22: Purple 23: Out of Context 24: Snow 25: Flowers 26: Mountains 27: Old 28: Birds 29: Inanimate Objects 30: New Life 31: Play 32: Road 33: Leaves 34: People 35.

Posted February 22, 2012 No, it's one of those fuzzy things with the metal inside that you can bend into a bunch of shapes. I attached it to the mesh on my window. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 22, 2012 Hm, I've got two I really like for this. This, as a sort of symbolic contrast between life and death, or the cycles of the year. Or this, a more literal one between light and dark. Share this post Link to post
