Photography Contest

[tim8604]

Hey guys, Fender and I are organizing a photography contest in which people will take pictures based on a certain topic and submit them to this thread. The community will decide whose turns out the best. The Topic for this first go around is "signs". As long as there is some sort of "sign" in your photo, it is valid... Here are a few more rules.

Digital Editing : Allowed
Color and BW : Allowed
Someone Elses Work : Not Allowed ( everything must be yours in the shot )


Try not to post images that are too big in the forum, because it messes up everything. If its really big, just post a link. Good luck, and don't forget... it's all about having fun in photography!

Ok...my first question. How many pics can we post? A bunch?


Here's my first sign picture. Not really a good picture, its just funny.



NO BABY!!!!

[edit] Try and guess what its from......and even better (probably not posable) guess where it was taken'![/edit]

 

[tim8604]

yeah, just post as many as you want

 

[Fender357]

Ok, I've got another one. You have to try hard to read the sign though.

But again, its a funny picture.

 

[tim8604]

here's one I took today, let me know if you think a color version would look better... Tomorrow after school I'll go hunting for signs. hehe.

 

[Fender357]

Looks neat. I want to see the color one though. The b&w is a little too contrasty.

 

[tim8604]

The original shot just came out weird like that, here ya go though. I like that pool sign.

 

[Fender357]

The exposure still looks kinda weird. But I like the color one.

What kind of camera do you have?

 

[tim8604]

Minolta Z1. It just looks weird because I was messing with some of the more advanced settings ;p

Is that saying watch out for manholes or something? hehe, nice one.

 

[Fender357]

I think its a surf board sticker.

Is it?

 

[Snakebyte]

Actually I think the ring part was a sticker put on the sign... I guess it's supposed to be a hula hooping warning or something.
Saw it in Florida.

Here's a close-up of it.
