August Photography Competition

Post by alexperkins »

Welcome to the August Photography Comp!!

There are enough of these in the world, so start looking!

The subject is Signs

The only rule is it must be silly/pointless . Ie...it needs to be something thats there for no reason, or is quite comic!

Get snapping!

Please resize your photos to 800 pixels wide MAX to enable everyone to view them without too much scrolling. Thanks

Please also list what camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed and aperture you used when taking the photo. Thanks!


RULES:
One Entry Per Member
All images must be your own work
All entries must be recieved by Midnight, Sunday 31st August 2008
After this time, I will start a poll listing all the photos).
