HEXUS Photo Challenge:"Daily Life"

[Nick F]

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

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've said this the last few times, but hopefully this time i'll get round to submitting something. i think i'm going to be onshore for the next couple of weeks.

[BenW]

I liked the last challenge for obvious reasons but i think i'll have to give this a miss. Got a lot of work at the moment

[shiato storm]

ooh, another! I'll have to enter this one now

[villarule]

Im looking to enter this. Dont know what exactly to snap. Might just take my camera out when we go shooting again next week and take loads of shots then :\

[dave87]

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

Wish me luck with my k800i

[BenW]

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

[dave87]

If only I knew how to do that/had photoshop

I've got Macromedia Studio installed however.... dunno if that helps?

[Hans Voralberg]

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

[Funkstar]

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

[Nick F]

Good to hear you will all be taking part. I have already got a few ideas for my pictures I just hope they cut the mustard against some of your great pics.

[Elmo]

i'd really like to take part, but because of the nature of my new job i'm not allowed to take a camera to work
