May 2008 Photo Contest - "On the Open Road"

**Junior** · 05-01-2008, 12:13 AM

Well folks, what we have here is the first in a series of Monthly Photo Contests! Thanks to everybody who offered suggestions on how to set it up!

This month's theme will be: On the Open Road
Submission Deadline: Monday, May 19th

Go take some photographs of your car on an otherwise empty road. It could be in the middle of Downtown, or the middle of nowhere, just so long as the road is empty.

Here's the rules, folks:

1) One entry per member, per contest.
2) Member must take photo.
3) Member's LX must be in the photo.
4) Photograph must be taken for this contest - no previous shots allowed.
5) Photoshopping is not allowed except for modifying the license plate, brightness and contrast, and crop/resize.
6) Maximum size - 800 x 600. Oversize photos will not be allowed. Resizing available if needed.
7) Thumbnail links to photos greater than 800 x 600 will not be allowed.
8) The winner will be responsible for deciding upon the theme of the following month's contest, and is not eligible to participate in that contest.

Submissions should be posted to THIS thread, any time through Monday, May 19th. Submissions posted elsewhere will not be counted.

Voting will last one week, and will begin on a separate thread as soon as the submission deadline passes.

So get out your camera, and go find a road! Let's see what you can come up with.

OK, maybe that's not good advice.

This one will be hard for us in the inner cities. But we will see what we can do. You should make this thread a sticky

Early morning? Or find someplace by the tracks, maybe. Some back alley would work too. Could be a neighborhood, whatever. Doesn't need to be any particular kind of road, as far as I'm concerned. Hope that helps get some ideas going.

It 'tis!
