February 2008 Monthly Photo Comp !!!

Well roders was our very well deserved winner last month with his very funny "Let's Face it"!

roders has chosen a theme for this month that is going to be interesting for this time of year. "Nature at Night" & as roders says "So an opportunity for flash and long exposure photography"..... I hope!!

So get those thinking caps on.. I think we shall all have to look pretty hard this month... Now that is what I call a challenge..!!!!


This should certainly give us all a chance to use our photographic skills to the full with a theme like that... A perfect opportunity to practice using your flash at night, or with exposure changes.. Have to dust those instruction books off...!!


The competition is of course based on the Integrity & Honesty of the entrants first & foremost...!!

We all have different cameras & that is what having the competition is about... Our ability to take a good photograph, to improve on that if we can with each photo we take, interpret the months theme as widely & imaginatively as we can..... without editing enhancement! So good luck everyone!

There will not be any prizes for this Competition, just the self-satisfaction of gaining and showcasing your photography skills.
