[thenimirra]

hmmm...another interesting theme.

[team D.A.T.A.]

Holy smokes, where are you coming up with these topics?

[Tiffany]

Previous weeks winner selects the topic, else I use a list I have from a popular photo site.

[Jeffro600]

Holy smokes, where are you coming up with these topics?

I picked the "Flight" and "Glass" one...i try to pick subjects that are readily available, but also will get you out and teach you to use a creative eye to define something "different".

For instance...last weeks was "Sanctuary"...first thing that popped in my mind was a church as did probably alot of others...but its those creative ones that out forth the effort to go out and find something that was their "Sanctuary". Those are the photos that are quality...anyone can go out and take a picture of a church and enter it but its the ones that go the extra mile and make an effort to combine all aspects of photography that make contests like this fun and a good learning experience...its more than just about light and color.

Well said!

So many ideas, so little interesting glass around the house :( Not to mention I just trashed another great idea. Oh well Ill find something.

[Oscar]

and how do you have time to be creative?

[Jeffro600]

and how do you have time to be creative?

Creativity is totally irrelevant to time. I consider myself a pretty creative person by nature and snapping a picture of something "different" doesnt really take a lot of time out of my day.

[Tiffany]

That's part of what this is about...pushing all of us to go out and take pics and be creative. The only way to be a better photographer is to take more pictures and work on it.

Myself, I struggle with going out and just shooting pics so having a theme each week pushes me to get off the couch and go do something.

[Jeffro600]

and how do you have time to be creative?

Or just spend less time in the looney thread... :flipoff2:

The pic looks distorted on purpose, I was taking this pic through the bottom of a drinking glass!

For some reason I can't seem to pull any info from the pic as far as camera settings!?

It was taken with a Fuji Fine Pix S5000

The only post-processing I did was to add the watermark and then resized.

Due to lack of planning on my part I probably won't be able to enter this week. However, here's a little more inspiration for those who may need it.

I took that back in March.

Thanks! It's a bottle of Vox vodka laying on it's side in front of my fitball. :)
Perfect timing on my hubby bringing that one home for a taste test. Hmmm, this assignment made me thirsty...

[cheftyler]

Ok, I was feeling creative tonight after work so I figured I'd give this idea I'd been thinking about a shot.

Mmm, candy corn....how come I suddenly want to go buy halloween candy?

[ColoradoSkier]

Coming in a little late, just got back form working out and snapped this on the way. Hope it isn't too late.

I also suggest that for future POTW, the deadline be like 1:30 or so, to accommodate the last minute take a picture at lunch crowd (hardly a crowd since it is likely just me).

dang these are good entries. I will have to vote for something other than my own image AGAIN this week!

[Tiffany]

:confused:
As a mod I can see all the deleted posts....makes for some really long scrolls sometimes

[thenimirra]

If you are referring to my previous deleted posts, I kept doing that because my image wasn't showing up correctly. I had a cropped version that wasn't being pasted into the site. Finally it appeared so I was able to copy and paste it in.

Will do! ;)

It had never happened before and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Sorry mods...didn't mean to cause any issues.
