FISO Photo competition. Week 1

Post by sted »

Following on from Ironfist's thread:

viewtopic.php?f=333&t=102896&view=unread#unread" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A photo competition seems like a bit of mid season fun.

A lot of us are happy snappers, so it doesn't matter if you are using a mobile phone, a point and shoot, or a great big DSLR. Composition and imagination are as important as technical ability / equipment.

Rules (These will be fluid depending upon feedback).

1. The competition will run for 1 week Friday to Friday.
2. A maximum of 3 photos will be allowed per entrant.
3. The winner will be decided by Poll on Saturday / Sunday after each comp.
4. The images must be original and shot by you ie no cheating
5. Subject matter will change each week and I am open to suggestions.
6. Post your snaps on this thread
7. Please limit size to no more than 800 x 600 or the thread will get messy.

Anything I've missed?

Without further ado, this weeks subject is:

FOOD


This can be anything from a pic of the pie and chips you are eating at the moment to an arty picture of a monster munch.

Imagination is everything!

Do you have to take the photo during the week or can you trawl the albums?

I think the grainy nature of the picture perfectly captures the distraught content of our processed foods and the reduced quality nutrients it gives us. The red on cream is inspired as it captures the blood and the vegan direction our diets should take. We have a winner. :D

You have pictures of food in your album?

I suppose you could, but I'll wager you could do better.

Can I suggest 2 comps - existing photos and those taken during the comp week (with the later taking the kudos) - that will encourage people to be a bit more creative. Too much?

Great idea, very 'spirit of the competition'.

This is more nature than food, but a great pic nevertheless.

This is my 1st entry. Took it yesterday and I call it 'Excessive.'
FISO Food (4).jpg
That huge spatula is actually silver, but somehow it turned dark in the picture. You can still see the cherry reflection in it.

It is an Israeli orange. Does that get extra marks?

That beer photo is my dream.
For 1st beer fest I went to in my village, I was getting excited. Arrived in anticipation only to see they were selling 1, yes One beer. Kronenberg commercial. I asked them what was happening and they said,
'Yes it"s a beer fest, you have to drink lots of it'
I haven't been to that one since.

Could we have a picture from exactly the same place in three hours time? And then five? And the end. It could be amusing.

I love the beer photo.

Interestingly, the subject matter for this comp was going to be converging lines.

So you win the psychic prize.

Still not food though.

OK. Archive photo.

Forget the date stamp, our point and shoot has never been set up with the correct data.
