    HEXUS Photo Challenge:"Daily Life"

    The "Loss of focus" photo challenge was great but now its time to move on and start a new challenge

    The rules are simple (reminder below too), you have two weeks to capture your best shot that fits the category, your shot must have been captured in the time from this post to the end of the challenge, no retro-posting please. the subject is:

    "Daily Life"

    Usual rules apply; its about your talent as a photographer but editing is permitted to highlight your subject, vastly editted images that severely distort things are not the aim. I usually suggest edits limited to sharpening and levels adjust (as per-usual from a dSLR RAW file for example) but in this instance use your editing wisely. Black and white and colour pictures are both allowed.

    You take as many pictures as you want from now until Sunday November 26th - thats a whole two weeks. Then you pick just ONE to submit, multiple submissions will not be accepted.
    Re-size your image to NO LARGER THAN 800x600pixels and 200K in size.
    Upload you image to a file-server and send the LINK only to the email address below, if you send your actual picture it may not be included, it is your responsibility to upload it yourself
    [a list of free image editing software and free image webspace providers can be found in the sticky in the Creative section].

    Entries in by 11:30 Sunday 26th November

    nflood@gmail.com

    Please state your Hexus User name when submitting your image

    SEND NO IMAGES - send the link to the uploaded location. That should make it obvious and leave no doubt.

    A thread will be started on Monday 27th November and Voting will commence for 5 days, the time voting ends will be made known. Images submitted late may not get in!

    Good luck

    I have a fair idea in mind, the only problem being lack of a real camera

    Wish me luck with my k800i

    You can get a fair way with the K800i and adobe photoshop to reduce noise/adjust levels etc

    I doubt that Macromedia has anything photo related. If you dont wanna/cant afford PS then get PS element or GIMP (free)

    Primary kit:
    Fuji S5 Pro - Nikkor AF 50/1.8 - Nikkor AF 85/1.8
    Epson RD-1

    Film Kit:
    Leica M3 - Summicron 50/2 DR - Zeiss ZM 25/2.8 - M-Rokkor 40/2

    Olympus OM2n - Zuiko 50/2 Macro - Zuiko 50/1.4 - Zuiko 35/2.8

    or a 30 day trial of Pain Shop Pro. Even photoshop might have a 30 day trial, i know they used to.
