2006 IMBOLC/LUGHNASADH PHOTOGRAPHY ENTRIES

Postby Crow » 20 Dec 2005, 18:52

Notice: Please post your photragraphy for the current Eisteddfod competition here. Photographs may be retouched by using computer programs such as Photoshop, but major alterations -- such as the application of special filters that significantly change the appearance of the photograph -- are not allowed.

NEW RULE ... READ!!! We are pleased that this category has been popular, but growth sometimes can be painful. Due to problems encountered by viewers with slow connection speeds, ALL SUBMISSIONS TO THIS CATEGORY MUST NOW BE THUMBNAIL-SIZE. One method of doing this can be found HERE. The moderators do not wish to be mean about it, however, neither do we wish to drive ourselves crazy fixing photos that are not submitted properly. Therefore, photos failing to meet this criterion will be DELETED, and the poster notified by PM to fix and resubmit it in accordance with the posted rules and by the published date. Thank you for your cooperation.

Crow, Amethyst, Kat Lady

Wilderness White Throne

A view from within a pit toilet at a wilderness campsite (Assiniboine, Canada).
It took 2 days to hike in, 2 days to hike out, and that made this one of the most satisfying and memorable toilet visits up to date...

This picture hangs on the door inside my toilet at home, and is probablly the first picture from inside a toilet that ever entered the eistedfodd :grin:

greetings,

Explorer

A simulated view from a Grizzly Bear of my last seconds in the "apparent world", clinging to a bottle of bear spray. (Kluane National Park, Yukon, Canada).

I know this photo ( I took it this evening) seems to be quite unnatural, but it is untouched - no colour manipulation, no contrast/lightness manipulation and so on. It came out like this. The light comes from the house located in "my" forest and motorway's lighting system. The time of exposure was long (3.2 sec), and I think this it is a cause of this interesting effect (a motorway is lighten by sodium street lamps which give softly orange light. When time of exposure is long the colour is intensified and then effect like this can be accomplished - that's my idea, but I'm not sure)
