And the topic for November is...

***STRANGERS***

The Rules:

* PM me your submissions.
* ONE photo per user, however you may CHANGE your submitted photo at any time up to the due date by sending me a PM.
* There is no maximum or minimum image size, we are not here to discriminate against hardware.
* Only very light editing is allowed. Adjustment of Levels, Colour Correction, Contrast, Sharpening and Cropping is allowed.
* This thread will be closed at the specified time (end of the month). No extra entries will be accepted, except under special circumstances.
* Entries breaking these rules will not be entered.
* The forum policy must be followed.
* If you wish to remain anonymous even after voting has finished, then please let me know when you are submitting your image.

The Process:

* Please keep the image size to less than 1.5Mb

The Tips:

* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.

* Do what YOU think is right. Art is very subjective. What's great to you, sucks to someone else, etc.
* Title your work, it will make your choices more obvious
* This is nothing serious, have fun while you're doing it.

Voting:

* Voting occurs for one week from midnight on the last day of November until midnight on the seventh of December.

Good luck.

Ooooh, I might enter this one. When I was out in Italy, I took the chance to try some candid photos of the public; I'd never do it here because ppl get sh*tty about it!

They're not on my Flickr feed yet, so it'll be new to you all ^^

Am I the only one here who is expecting to read how Bratty got arrested for taking pictures of innocent members of the public?

Edit to add: Whilst wearing a gas mask and holding a bottle of vodka, (or rum) and a shotgun

to think such thinks john u are clearly eccentric

this comp is easy as all you gotta do is take pics of your own self

I know you're legally allowed to to take photo's of people in the street, but our fascist police often object and threaten people with arrest.
I wonder if any forumites will suffer this fate for this competition?

You mean like Bratty? :etc:

You ain't from round here are you? was almost recently submitted....

You know, I don't think I'm going to get an entry this round.

Why not? Take your camera, find some strangers, take a photo. Simples.

Hmm. I'm funny about doing that kind of thing. In fact, I don't really like getting people in my shots at all.

Ah well, there's a few more days. I suppose something will happens.

Bit of a poor submission rate this month so time for a bumpity-bump

I'm still looking for entries from Anon, Anon, Anon and myself I would quite like to see some form of piccy from the rest of you as well and don't mind at all if the title is seven stages removed from the topic (or vice versa).

I'm going for a wander with my camera now - watch and learn........

Al

I'm not getting any vibes this time.

I fear I shall be entry free this time.

Who Knows? has just been submitted.......
