Ok HERE we GO!
It is time for another two round Challenge... First the Theme, I received this from Radar:

The theme for Challenge 7 is Movement. The submitted photo should depict movement. As a good example, see a past POTW of 31.05.05. But don't let that example restrict you, be imaginative

Dictionary definitions for movement, just to be safe in terms of interpretation

(1) : the act or process of moving; especially : change of place or position or posture (2) : a particular instance or manner of moving.
Merriam-Webster Online

This will be a two stage comp..
Entrants can submit an entry to both or one of the galleries... Getting your act together and submitting an entry to both gives you two bites of the proverbial pie

Now for the timeline:
Image Valid from: The date this post is posted

(SET YOUR CAMERA CLOCKS)
Gallery 1 submit open: Monday 10th October
Gallery 1 close Gallery 2 open: Monday 31st October
Gallery 2 close voting commences: 11:59pm Sunday November 20th
Voting close: Monday noon December 5th
Winner is announced at the Xmas dinner on December 9th

Now get MOVING!

Great choice Andre. This should be fun.

by **rokkstar** on Fri Sep 30, 2005 6:32 pm

Yeah, cool choice Radar.

by **PiroStitch** on Fri Sep 30, 2005 6:48 pm

Of for crying out loud....why on earth are my best pics banned from the Challenges :evil:

On a side note, it's great to see that my pic is being used as an example for two challenges

by **Manta** on Fri Sep 30, 2005 6:49 pm

Great choice Radar. This should result in a big number of entries.

Thinking...thinking....

All you have to do is take a similar picture...easy

by **PiroStitch** on Fri Sep 30, 2005 6:53 pm

No i can't take a similar image as I'll get screwed by the anonymity clause.

We promise not to tell anyone

by **radar** on Fri Sep 30, 2005 9:45 pm

Eeeeuwww!!! Now you really have me worried about how he'll interpret the "movement" theme... :lol:

Alright nobody take pics of bowel movements

I'm sure no ones picture is going to be sh!t.

I for one would not volunteer my camera for that one.

Mind you, there's an Aussie photographer (I think they're Aussie) who shoots images of people's arseholes...

I've never actually read or seen the play performed in any way so I'm happy to say that I have absolutely no idea what this means! :lol:

Adam - a virgin image with minimal PP’ing

by **radar** on Tue Oct 04, 2005 12:04 pm

Hi Adam,

VK4CP wrote:Does the image have to be just one image, or can it be a composite (montage, or what ever term you prefer) ?

ie; can I take multiple images and blend them to arrive at a final product? ... obviously in keeping with the theme.

the anonymity clause isnt really THAT strict i dont think, its a little pedantic / redundant. I mean, this is hardly highschool, and theres hardly any good / bad blood going on in these forums, and at the end of the day, its often easy to tell whos someone pic is by lifestyle ... but conversely every time ive said that, ive just about got it wrong !!

ive won 5th in a comp before and a few knew the photo ... but then i dont know anyone in real life from here so its hardly benefitial in any case. (and hey it was a good piece dammit !

) (mine had been in the newspapers)

a photo should be judged on its merits, not whether its owner is known or not.

fwiw i think its a negative if other sknow your image as theyve already seen it, been awe-struck by it (or whatever) and gotten over it ... the 2nd time around theyre probably not as excited by it, less chance of a high vote. *shrugs*

by **phillipb** on Mon Oct 31, 2005 10:58 pm

So when are we going to be able to see the first lot?

by **Glen** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 12:09 pm

MHD, hasn't been seen around much recently, so:

Challenge 7 is closing this Sunday 20th November 11.59pm

rush those entries in

by **rokkstar** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 12:34 pm

Yep...I thought I had until the end of the month. Realised it was the 20th last week. Bugger!!!

by **Alpha_7** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 12:49 pm

Running out of time.....argh!

by **Paul** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 1:00 pm

Shit!... grabs camera and runs outside to shoot the first moving object! :lol:

by **Alpha_7** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 1:08 pm

That would be you .... running out the door

by **Wocka** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 1:16 pm

Does the second image have to have a date between 31st October and 20th November? Or can it be fron the whole challenge period?

Cheers.

by **leek** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 1:22 pm

Bugger... I thought we had until the end of the month too...

Don't panic!!!

I thought the whole challenge period. ?? But I'm not sure.

by **Glen** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 1:47 pm

Wocka, PM MHD just to be sure

by **owen** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 1:50 pm

According to the first post in this thread:

Image Valid from: The date this post is posted Smile (SET YOUR CAMERA CLOCKS)

That tells me that images can be from any time after that post... so images for the second part could have been taken during the first part.

by **Wocka** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 3:17 pm

Thanks Owen,

That's the way I read that statement as well.
I just thought I'd check.

Cheers.

by **Glen** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 3:20 pm

Warwick, I read it that way too, but I would check with MHD to be sure, we have already had one image disqualified

by **MHD** on Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:27 pm

To clarify: Image valid dates are independant to the submission gallery opening dates...

Image Valid from: Fri Sep 30, 2005 4:43 pm (SET YOUR CAMERA CLOCKS)

So as long as the image was taken after that time it is valid for either part... except that part 1 has closed...
