HEXUS Photo Challenge:"Festivities"
It's that time of year when we eat far too much, this is your chance to burn of some calories and get out snapping. We are all at home over the next couple of weeks so you shouldn't have an excuse not to submit your picture.
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: "Festivities" 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 Friday 29th December - thats nearly 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 Friday 29th December 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 Saturday 30th December and Voting will commence for 5 days, the time voting ends will be made known. Images submitted late may not get in! Good luck |

excellent stuff
 just a thought - but what about lining up another competition for around new years? We all tend to carry around a camera of some sort this time of year. Alcohol-impaired photography competition perhaps? "New" or "Fresh" or something as a theme perhaps?

I only just noticed the post today, and I've been looking out for it!
What chance is there for me to take a decent picture, when I can't even see something I'm looking for....  Off topic, but what with jamena's suggestion, why don't we have a 'best photo of the year' comp? What's the chance of Hexus throwing a few freebies out to the winner?
