Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest! Welcome back for another round of the DC Photography contest, come and show us what you've got! This time, the theme is: Knots Submission deadline: November 22 Voting deadline: November 30 Rules: - One entry per person. - A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera or phone camera - Screenshots are not allowed - 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. - Winner hosts the next contest.

Posted November 2, 2020 At one time in my life, I made bookmarks. You have to have a knot to hold on the bead(s). Share this post Link to post
Posted November 6, 2020 This is actually a scan of a photo I took in 1997 - no digital photos back then I had a handful of budgies back then, and most of the time, they were flying around freely in my appartment. I took some hemp rope and did a bit of crotcheting-by-finger, attached a millet cob and mounted the result between the various walls and furniture. Unfortunely, I never took a picture of the whole construction, only of Sina sitting on it She was completely yellow. Also, it's the company's scanner that was dirty, not my window, I swear!

Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Honest, hardworking knot on a cow's harness. I took the photo at an agricultural show. Edited November 7, 2020 by Fly-by-Night typo Share this post Link to post
Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I came across this little bottle completely by chance while taking my dog for a walk on the beach yesterday. I happened to have my camera with me so I thought I'd see what I could do with it (I didn't move it from where I found it), and I'm really pleased with the result. And then, I realized it fits the theme this time! Spoiler Edited November 11, 2020 by GhostMouse Share this post Link to post
Posted November 21, 2020 Not sure if there's an actual knot in there, but it looks like they tried. Spoiler Share this post Link to post
