If you can supply the judges with that camera or something of greater value you can expect preferential scoring.

I think it's some kind of underhand remark about people with high level gear...
 
I could drive the 150+ miles back to South Wales and enter the same shot I did last month. :D

After wanting sun for the May competition I'd like a bit of rain for this theme. Just enough so I can get out to take the photo when it's stopped...
 
Hopefully I won't forget about this like I did last month until yesterday -.-

Think I should be able to come up with something for this.
 
An entry in already, and a very nice one at that!

ps. Yarde what do you use to extract your exif data?
 
You know what i've just realised?

I took this photo on the 31st May, not the 1st like i thought i had >.<

DAM IT!

Should i delete it?

It'll be discounted by the judges anyway cos its outside the dates. Leave it up though it may inspire others until you can replace it with something from june :)

Oh, I'm allowed to replace it? I was under the impression once you submitted it, that would be it

nah, i changed my entry last month. some people change an entry two or three times until they're happy or happier with their entry :D
 
I was trying to get a decent reflection shot on my trip to Hellingly Asylum yesterday, but I only remembered when I was at the point of panicking about finding my way out so I didn't get anything.

Might go back there and try again.
