Right here's the next photo challenge for everyone,
THE 2nd HEXUS PHOTO-CHALLENGE WILL BE [as chosen by Noah, our first winner]:
"Industry"
You take as many photos as you like from this weekend to the next (24th Sept to 2nd October), but CHOOSE ONLY ONE that you feel interprets "Industry" best for you. Its your chance to be as inventive as you want...it doesn't have to be factories and pipes!
No need to give a reason on your choice once made.
You resize your image to 800 x 600 pixels and less than 200k Maximum - smaller is ok but please no bigger.
You may not manipulate your images (unless that is the aim of the challenge at the time, in this case it is not), slight lightness/contrast adjustments are permitted, nothing more. This is after all about the picture taking not the fiddling after...
You Upload your image to a server (there's a list in the sticky at the top of decent ones you can use) and note down the location... which will be something that I (or anyone else) can put image tags around for posting here [if not, then it won't be included 'cause I won't know how to get to it ]
you then email the location to the following address:
hexus.creativephotos (at) gmail (dot) com
with the subject heading/title "Industry"
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR PICTURE...If you send me your picture its entry cannont be guarenteed, send me its uploaded location.
then on the 3rd October I will make a poll thread displaying all the submitted entries.
this thread will take votes for 5 days.
the resulting winner will be acknowleged for their tallents and will provide the subject, or date if they chose, for the next mini-challenge.
if a subject/theme is chosen (e.g. 'action' or 'water') participants are given a week to get the desired shot, if it is a date then its pictures from that day that are to be entered.
Entries in by 7.30pm 3rd October please, the voting will commence around about 9pm after which late entries, I'm afraid, wont get in (unless you've warned me prior). no cheating and by submitting pics taken at another time, thats part of the challenge of selecting the dates! you have a whole week, should be enough for anyone!
So, best of luck everyone, lets raise the bar once again!
