LOL, had to get lucky eventually

Where's the link to that site with all the themes, think CyKey uses it? Haven't got a clue otherwise, all I seem to do now is motorsport and horses.

Now theres a shot. Horses on bikes.

Congrats dude, well deserved. Photo Friday is the site you're thinking of, I think

Well done all & WP dod.

thanxs to all the judges - am a little disappointed with myself, wanted a couple more than 59... must try harder!!!

Emotion was too difficult and motion was too easy. Something in-between the last two please dod... and congrats a lovely photo.

WOW,

Well i'm totally amazed by my score, I wasn't happy with it at all.

Well done dod and of course a big thank you to the judges!!

congratulations dod, there was no doubt that was going to win, fantastic shot.

I must admit I feel a little stung with my result, I felt that last theme a little bias towards people with cheaper cameras that are not able to do 'simple' time exposure shots, I guess I need to upgrade my camera.

I would argue that they were both just as hard. Emotion was hard to get a shot that really said "Emotion" and not just a person's facial expression. Motion was hard to get a shot that really stood out from the 200 odd panning car shots

Exactly! That's what made it hard to judge too

Congrats to everyone who entered, all the shots were of a good standard this round, keep it up!

Special congrats to dod of course for entering a great shot.

Thanks too to xolotl for sorting out the results in my absence!

thats sort of what i meant, it was too easy to get a shot that said motion (have at least ten shots this month i could have entered) but your right the difficult bit was gettng a unique shot that stood out.

That's the one, ta

If you'd said bikes on horses I can think of a few

Got to say I'm leaning towards "Candid", might actually push me to doing people stuff which I really don't like. Not camera dependent either.

I really like that topic choice, in that I HATE it and have never tried it due to being as shy as a ..... shy thing.

It means ill have to push my comfort zone to take something for this comp.

Photography, for me, is all about pushing my comfort zone. Bring it on

dod · 4 Oct 2006 at 10:23

That's exactly how I feel Dreeder. Okay, Candid it is

RichDay · 4 Oct 2006 at 11:02

No worries, will get the threads up

Just waiting to getthe toals from xolotl and I'll update the stats

[edit]
Threads are up, you get a couple of bonus extra days this round - I started counting the four weeks to the dealine from this sunday coming

Ph Candids. :eek:

That is outside my confort zone as Dreeder put it. On a more serious note, where do we stand as photographers taking candids of people and using them on an Internet competition like this? Do we need them to sign a model release form?

Model release forms are only for when you are using an image for commercial means, like a makeup advert. At best you just need their consent which is as simple as a name on a page. Generally it won't be an issue unless you cast them in a negative light. Say if you took a pic of an overweight person and started a thread about how fat they were. They could then sue you over it.
