Julys winning picture by Maxdicapua:

For this month we have the following theme:

Red

Entries close last day of August.

Rules:

- Post a maximum of 3 images at one time, you can come back with more pics if you have tried something different, but please stick to 3 pics max each time.

- You must flag one image as your entry, feel free to repost your chosen image towards the end of the comp with 'entry' above it, this will be placed into a new thread at the end of the alloted time for people to vote on. Only images with entry clearly written above or below it will be accepted.

- Try to keep posted images to a max of around 800px wide.

- No rules on photoshop use etc, but this is first and foremost a photography contest, not a photoshop contest.

- All images entered must be taken within the dates of the competition specified above.

- If you haven't followed the above rules don't come moaning when your picture isn't in the voting thread.

The Winner will choose the next subject for August and win some harribo!

Good luck !!

Interesting theme! And well done to Maxdicapua, very, very minimal and excellent composition.

Spotted the new topic last night after getting in from the local air show

I'll put this one in for now but there are a few ideas I want to try if I get time

Red Panda, Photo taken yesterday

Could have done with being a touch sharper but hey ho.

 

[SamP]

Resize it so its smaller and it'll look sharper

 

[aliengravy]

Is that not cheating

 

[SamP]

I would call it using ones initiative... One of the reasons why I get a good few keepers when im posting on facebook compared to flickr/500px. As facebook compresses the hell out of them you can get away with using an image thats slightly soft.

Edit away my friend!

Was thinking of the Red Arrows too but Won't see them until September lol

 

[Merk]

My theme idea got picked, I might actually have to take a picture and enter it now, LOL.

 

[.Adam.]

I haven't entered this for a couple of months, may have to dust off the camera and get shooting!

I only put that in because I watched them on Sunday. I probably wont use anything from the airshow for this. I have a few ideas but its getting the time to do them.

Should be a decent ammount of entries this month though.

[Cup_Phil]

I actually got time this month to take a photo!

My entry...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^Really like that!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Thanks mate - I went out and treated myself to a 50mm f1.4 this month. Love it!

I was hoping I'd catch myself a bit removing my dash today to fit in with the 'red' theme. Turns out removing the dash was a lot harder than I thought - I'm covered in cuts LOL!

 

[Wick]

I am going to get out one evening this week to try an idea that fit's quite nicely, good theme choice

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

One of the ideas I had. Need to remember how to use photoshop properly though. Still have time to get some other ideas sorted.

Managed to get out with the camera for 10 minutes tonight.... Here is what I came up with, bit of a gimmicky idea but had a laugh shooting them. Both been rushed so will need a re-edit if I enter me thinks, feedback + C&C's welcomed with open arms as always:

Really like the 1st one, just held my interest more than the 2nd, great picture.

 

[bully]

Blood, sweat and tyres is great.

I like the first red light one, your eye is drawn into it a bit more.

I have an idea but am so busy at the mo, s**t excuse but true.

 

[Gavin.]

Pretty simple one, my lamp against my feature wall at home. Not decided if its my entry or not yet.
