Some time has gone by since our last one of these and so I've thought of a simple or tricky one, depending on your point of view.
The rules are simple (reminder below too), you have one week and a half 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:
"BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER..."
'you what?' you say...'whats all this sesame street malarky about?!?'
well, look around and be creative, you will submit an image that displays how the environment around you creates a letter or letters other than actual letters (i.e. not big signs), for example - and perhaps don't use these(!) - the Clifton suspension bridge for an 'A' or a zigzag warning road sign could be interpreted as a 'Z'...
It may be obvious, it may be subtle...your decision but make it interesting
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. If you can create an image of 26 thumbnails from A - Z, well, we'd all be impressed but please no half arsed attempt with missing letters!
Entire words (SPELT CORRECTLY!!!) are also acceptable, the more humorous the better, but make it just the one word if you do...
For the purposes of this challenge BLACK AND WHITES ARE OK, you may submit either colour or black and white.
You take as many pictures as you want from now until Wednesday 15th August - thats a whole week a half (weekend in the middle)!! 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].
