March Photo Contest - "Lights"

[vwcorradokid]

Source: All entries must have been exposed with a digital camera. Any other type of image is unacceptable.
File Format: JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg)
Image Dimensions: No dimension may be smaller than 500 pixels or larger than 900 pixels
Exposure Date: All entries must have been taken during the contest submission dates.
Rules:
Theme: "Lights"
- Your image must be emailed to me trobertson7@comcast.net on or before midnight 03/31/2007
- Your submission email should have the title of the image.
- Also, when you email your submission, make sure you include your TST username and your entry's title.
- Only one submission per user
- Your image must NOT contain any borders or signatures or anything to distinguish the photo as your own
- Photoshop is OK to use, see below for details.
- Please, with your email, send the name of the camera used also.
- DO NOT POST THESE PICTURES on the forum. See below.
- On April 1, 2007, I will take all the submissions and post them in a voting poll. Members will then be given the chance to vote. After the winner is chosen, the photographers will be named for their respective photos.

There may be no post-processing to add elements from another unrelated image. This includes (but is not limited to) the subject, supporting objects, and the background. You must compose the elements of your photograph before exposure. Do not use image editing software to create or alter the overall scene.

Voting:
Voting will take place after the submission deadline and before the end of the voting deadline.

Everyone wants constructive criticism on their contest entries, so try to leave a comment whenever possible, especially when you feel that a photo deserves a below average rating.

Snore for the topic but whatever i will figure something cool out this time.

[MuddyREX]

I'm going to give this a shot with my pos point and shoot....

[TROLL]

its such a broad topic i dont see how you can snore at it... but then again, you are a certified professional complainer. get your thinking cap on, there are a million and one options, assuming 'light' is the theme and is open to any and all interpretation.
no idea what i'll plan to do yet but i'm sure i'll find something. hell, just getting anything submitted would be a step up for me.
thanks to tim for keeping this going :thumbup:
p.s. is it possible in the future to flush out about half of the fine print? seems somewhat excessive...

[james_ls]

Almost TOO many rules.

Could easily cut that down.

I'm in this time!

[jspek]

barry, if its the light bulb pic i vote ban lol.

Yeah, thanks for keeping this up. If you'd like to participate next month let me know, I could take charge for April.

Interesting topic, I'll try to find some time over Spring Break to actually set something up.

I've just been lazy and in "sports mode" lately...I've been shooting a lot of roller hockey games and not much other stuff. I'll probably drum something up for this contest. We'll see how I do with the new equipment.

barry, if its the light bulb pic i vote ban lol.

Thats what i am gonna do.

So the topic is lighting, not lights. Just to be clear it does not have to be the source of light in the shot?

[Snoozie]

I think its lights in general. It seems to be a very broad subject that you can interpret anyway you like. :)

^^^Thats what I was thinking.

I'm not exactly sure what I am gonna do yet but hopefully it will start to get a little warmer around here.

And thanks for keeping this the contest going!

The source does not have to be in the shot.

Being broad seems to get more participation.

No problem, I am willing to relinquish my duties if someone else wants to run it.

If this is the case, please e-mail or PM me and let me know so I don't post the rules and theme for next month.

It's about damn time...slacker

[Dave]

[ibepressin]

Since taking photos is all about the capture of light on a given subject, this months contest is open to anything? Literally anything? Just to be clear. I don't want any "this doesn't fit the topic" quotes. :wink:

hahaha. It pretty much means to use light in a creative way. Whether it be a night photo with lights shining on a wall...something like this maybe:
