As part of yesterday's inaugural 2x2 meet held at Cremorne we held an instant photo competition. This was an idea suggested by Gary our forum admin. Basically a number of pieces of paper each with a simple theme are placed in a hat and each person draws one. They then need to take an image matching the theme during the outing and at the end of the outing they submit an image and the best image taking the theme into account is chosen as the winner. While winning is enough in itself, since this was our first such event a prize of a Wolf Eyes torch valued at $100 was kindly donated by forum member Glen. The winner was Glen, but since he donated the prize it was re-awarded to Mr Darcy by our judge - Philo. The entries are shown below. Each is unprocessed and was imported using Nikon Capture then resized and uploaded to the web using Lightroom so none have had any post processing. Each photo is captioned with the theme and the photographer.

Thank you, Peter, for taking the lead on this, and handling this so well, and thank you Philo for judging the entries.

I am impressed with the images posted, and I congratulate everyone who attended yesterday and accepted this impromptu challenge.

Mostly, I hope that the challenge caused everyone to think a little about their image taking, and that y'all had fun in taking the challenge in hand and creating the wonderful images that we see here.

What a great selection of images.
Well done to Peter for organising the event and the people that were able to turn up and shoot..good stuff.
I think my favourite of these are the first image (Glen's) and the last (nnnnsic). Great stuff guys.

Interestingly enough, I like all the images, very innovative by Matt and nnnnsic

Great idea for the meet, sorry I wasn't able to get there. All very nice images, well done everyone.

Cheers,

André

Great photos guys. Congratulations Glen and Mr Darcy

matt k's leaf is my winner from those, which itself is odd, as usually anything with boats in it is a winner for me !!

Great work all involved, looks like a fun outing.

Glen I'd love to see your image in a panorama style crop, removing the rail at the top and vegetation at the bottom.
