As suggested by Fajitas, something rather pretentious

So, get going on "The Colour Red".

You've got until the 20th October. Same old place for photos; http://photos.hotshotireland.com

It's not rather, it IS pretentious!

Yeah thats just what I was thinking...

In fact, this has inspired the current techie challenge on the flickr group.. just starting today 'Selective Colourisation' or colourization if you wanna be American about it! Anyway, kind of a post-processing challenge that makes you think about composition a bit as well. Hope there are some takers... Handy to run similiar challenges every now and again. Oh and before anyone gives out about stealing ideas... the inspiration for this challenge has often been very similiar to the flickr group cough cough!

But of course

In-camera filters are alright?

Fajitas! · 08-10-2006 2:20pm

Yep!

It's not the process, it's the photo

So there is a Photo Challenge, which is straight forward take the pic and post.
And tere is a flickr challenge for people who what to PS their shots?
Have I got that right?

rymus · 10-10-2006 4:12pm

not really.. theres a photo challenge which can be either straight forward take the shot, post the shot or can involve a bit of ps. Then there's the flickr challenge, which is the poor mans photo challenge

Missed the B/W comp, so had to try this!

Thought about trying to get a friends bloodshot, hungover eyes, but he nearly killed me when the flash went off!

rymus · 11-10-2006 7:47pm

note to self, next time turn off flash to avoid permenantly blinding hungover friend

Fey! · 13-10-2006 12:51pm

Good point. Thanks Rymus!

Rojo · 14-10-2006 4:23pm

Just uploaded mine. I uploaded one earlier but I never changed the name of the .jpg to my username.

paudie · 17-10-2006 7:40am

I'm linking it cuz I'm not sure how big that is or what size it's supposed to be for this thing(the boards that is)

Pansy Potter · 17-10-2006 3:38pm

Hands of Steel you don't post a link or a picture here.
The place to post it is given in the first post on this thread.

440Hz · 21-10-2006 12:28pm

Booo missed by one day! I was sick... does that count.... I uploaded anyway, maybe some nice person might take pity and include anyway???

Fajitas! · 21-10-2006 3:28pm

Nah. I doubt it.

elven · 22-10-2006 12:24am

How come usually they seem to drag on and yet, the one I've been thinking about taking a picture for and looking forward to, I miss the deadline? Gah.

*sulks*

rymus · 22-10-2006 9:44am

Just cos I'm such a nice person... if you've got a photo ready, upload it now and I'll include it.

You actually being serious there???
Or is this rymus humour?

cos the votes have started, not much point at this stage is there

rymus · 22-10-2006 10:02am

there's not much point when the voting is in a late stage. So yes, there is a point in getting a late entry in before the voting goes any further.
