October Photo Challenge: Orange

Postby Matt » Mon Oct 01, 2007 11:15 am

The purpose of these challenges are to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

This month's challenge: Orange

Yeah, that's right. Orange. The color. Anything orange goes. This should be an easy one given the season.

The only other rule... it has to be taken in upstate NY. Be creative. There are no other rules.

This month's winner will get a NYFalls.com keychain.

Matt
Can you put a select box on individual pictures in our posts?
My reason for asking is if you can than you can also enter your pictures for the monthly contest and allow the forum to be the judges! If people can vote every time they log on you might get more response from the body You would be the only person that knows the results, and can post it at the end of the contest.

Just some thoughts

I don't think our system can do it the way you describe... but a vote on the finalists is certainly possible.

It's the George Eastman House in Rochester. The garden is beautiful in the spring.

The fading isnt compression, just me expirementing with the cheap photo editing software that came with the computer. :D

You're not cheating. It doesn't have to be a new photo. That one is very nice.

Yes, I still have photshop envy! Maybe Santa will bring it for me.

Nice effect with the pumpkin.

These are the ones we carved last year.
