    i know that the quiz is still on going but i do want to do 1 competition a week, and as this one has a long time limit its best to start early.

    so this is new, something that came to me last week. This time i want you to grab your camera, and get out of the house, take a picture for me of something natural but inanimate, like a tree or a flower.

    i know such pictures can be found on-line so points will also go to the way you prove you have taken the picture for this competition.

    talking about points, heres what im awarding for...

    each of the following will be judged out of the number of points shown (e.g good subject? 1-10)

    good lighting: 3
    clear image: 3
    good subject itself: 10
    nice picture: 1
    the proof it was taken by you: 3

    so 20 is the maximum you can get, and i will be awarding more points for originality, be creative.

    good luck and happy snapping.

    oh i almost forgot, you have exactly 1 week to post your pictures up.

    they are alive but they dont move, i guess thats what i mean. you can take a picture of a rock if you like too. All sorts of things dont move in the wild.

    Lighting shouldn't count since it depends on camera quality.

    I think lighting counts because its your skill with a camera, and your ability to find what your looking for. If your camera adjusts automatically then you may want to try focusing on something darker than the surrounding image to make the background stand out, or something brighter than the surroundings to make that stand out.

    lighting stays, go take a picture Smile

    That sucks. Next time you should have a deadline, rather than what you feel like. I think it more fair that way.
