Apologies for the delay but I've been rather busy photographing a recent aircraft incident at Lossie and selling the pics to the press

The topic for this month is.... ***CREEPY***

Now the popularity of this premier competition has rather waned somewhat and I don't really blame you all as the circumstances of life have been dealing all of us a fairly hard blow recently - Christmas, no job, family trouble, no camera etc..... but let's all make the effort to go out and take a piccy - in February - in the rain/hail/snow - in daylight now that there's more of it. Eh? What do you say?

Thanks

The Rules:

* Entries breaking these rules will not be entered.

I've got an idea, but tried shooting it at home today and it's just not working at the moment - guess I need to borrow a tripod and light from work due to camera shake! Bugger!

Are we still finishing this months' comp tomorrow (we didn't get the subject til 13th Feb)? Any chance of a few more days, two weeks isn't much time for most people to fit this in to their busy schedules?

Maybe we should make this bi-monthly to get more entries?

I've got a macro shot of a spider on my PC. Someone beat me to it though. I really need to start making more effort with the comp.

you should still enter it and that means the spiders will be on for a 1 v 1 duel kinda thing

Oh. Someone else has a Dragon.
Ace.

I have a little collection of pencil sharpeners. Amongst other things I have a field gun and a canon, both of which fire projectiles. The canon is actually quite dangerous because it can propel sharpened pencils with quite a kick

As to the topic, following many of my recent posts it won't surprise that all I can think of is the creepers from Minecraft

Stalking her Prey, You go first... and Slow Spill have just been submitted.
