The topic for January is... ***OLD***
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 :D
* Go out and take a photo, fitting in the theme and rules.
* Post your entry to me by PM, I will host it and post it.
* When the due date passes, the entries thread will be closed, and a voting thread created to determine the favourite.
* You will not be able to vote for your own entry.

The Tips:

* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.
* Try to make everyone think about what they're looking at.
* 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 January until midnight on the seventh of February 2010 .
* After voting has finished the winner chooses the next theme within a couple of days.
* Once the new theme has been chosen entries may be submitted until midnight on the last day of the month.

Good luck.

I've got a perfect shot in my back catalogue that will fit this theme. I guess I'll just have to go and look for places where I can reproduce it now.

That was my immediate idea Mark :D However, after some thought I have decided to explore some different avenues...

Cracking topic though :D

I've got a good idea, however as my camera is dead I have to rely on my camcorder to take still. And it SUCKS at night shots. :x

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

You've changed your tune. Previously if you were over 21 years old you were saying we were all passed it, so what's going on?

Or living is an old person's activity.

It's a reassuring platitude young people ostensibly use to make old people feel better, but actually use to avoid thinking about the painful realities of wrinkles and cancer. Only self-delusional people in Saga adverts believe it.

I'll find out in a few months if I'm one of them.

"Life begins at forty, HA HA! ha ha... sob... sob.."
