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.

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

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?

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.
