May Photography Competition - Urban

jenic · May 5, 2013

After some excellent entries last month, congratulations to Riad who won with the shot below.

The theme for May is Urban,

Really flexible theme, I expect a good number of entries, especially with the nice weather of late.

So - Entries close on the 24th May

The Rules:

- The photo must be taken this month.

- 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 this month.

- If you want to change your entry, you MUST PM me (jenic) before the closing date.

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

The Winner will win a special ClioSport.net goody bag and pick the June theme!

Good luck !!

Great theme. Can I enter a shot taken yesterday as technically it was this month? Or does it have to be after this thread has been posted?

JamesBryan · May 5, 2013

Rules say taken within this month, so i'd say yes.

ENTRY.

Taken in the Heygate Estate, Elephant and Castle, London.

100's of homes stood empty for years as not all of the people living there have left, a squatter's heaven until the new laws were past making it illegal in residential properties. I'll stop before I start rambling but if you live in/near to London then go visit.

Do these competitions not have to include the car then? Is it just any rural photo?

Niall · May 11, 2013

It’s anything that can be interpreted as Urban (not rural). So stuff in cities and towns etc.

Ray Gin · May 11, 2013

Ugh, I was half tempted to enter, but after seeing the entries ill not bother, lol.

Oops sorry my bad, yup Urban. Is there a competition anywhere on Cliosport purely for a Clio shot of the month comp? I can't find one anywhere. I was on 206info before and we used to run a monthly shot of the month purely for creativity taking pics of the car.. so didn't matter so much about camera expertise etc. Would be good if there was one about on here?

Not massively happy with it either !

C'est la vie.

The Fatty · May 12, 2013

what the actual fcuk. lol. Well there might be 3 star trails ones now then if I bother to actually execute mine

Pint · May 12, 2013

Haha. Glad i got this done tonight then. I did another but not happy with it. It was more to test an idea id had.

Least you could hide inside in the warm. Frozen my nollies off tonight. The new 10-20 makes these so much more interesting. May try another at home tomorrow if the skies clear.

Deliberately left this image warm to add to the urban feel. Just wish I could have done it for longer.

That version looks better.

helloimjammie · May 14, 2013

Off to London Colney today (for the first time) for work. Packed my camera will try and get a shot and enter one of these competitions for once! People's shots already though are looking amazing!

Yeah I think so too. Difficult shot for me as there's a streetlamp 10ft from the house on the left there making the whole scene yellow

Scrooge · May 14, 2013

Should have gone somewhere to do it, lazy boy.

Hope this fits into the scope of the theme.. I saw everyones entries were centred around towns themselves so decided to go with something a little more out the box Urban and less cluttered.. The location is just outside of Farnborough Airport at the well known Old Hanger, as featured in last weeks Antiques Roadshow (not that I watch it). I was hoping to get a pic of the car under the hanger but couldn't find a route in, so here we are. Taken on my Iphone as I'm not a photographer, just a quick snap of the car. Don't expect it to be in any contention to win amongst all the awesome pics entered, but thought it were a nice location all the same and worth posting

Can't figure out how to get the pic larger so will have to click to view..

Pint · May 20, 2013

It's a great piece of architecture that. Sadly, you can't get a car near it. Last time I tried in the evening we were moved on by the security.

mm... I guess if it was open though you'd get the fboro chav scene turning up speeding under it and inevitably crashing into it. I was cleaning as a summer job at Fboro Airshow a few years back.. I had a pass where I was allowed to drive my car practically anywhere around fboro airport as I needed to use the car to pick up / drop off supplies. Wish I'de of used it to get some pics.. could of got some epic shots but unfortunately I was too focused on keeping my pass and my job for the summer!

It's a shame Pyestock isn't accessible.. I'm not even sure if it's still standing now. But to get in there and find a way to get a pic with the turbines... that'd be pretty awesome for a good pic

Edit: Just found this article online... sucks
