Following on from the Calendar 2008 thread and seeing the quality of pictures it's time to start another photo type thread.

The plan is simple. Every month a topic is selected, members go out and take pictures of said topic and post them here. There won't be actual prizes (unless someone gets sponsorship) but we will select 1st, 2nd & 3rd. It'll be more a medal of honour. To keep it simple and to avoid bitching and fighting :D the winner at the end of the month will choose a topic for the following month and the also judge the topic they have selected.

Again we'll keep the Picture thread clean by using two threads. One for discussions and one for the Pictures themselves.
Suggestions on the way we do this are open for discussion as per the norm :)

These rules should help keep us on track and we can edit them as we go.

1 There will be two threads per month. The official picture thread and an unofficial chat thread. One picture to be entered into the picture thread and if you want to show more you can post as many as you like in the chat thread.

2 In the interest of fairness the pictures shown must be your own work.

3 The winner from the previous month judges the winning 3 and picks our topic for following month.



I'll start us off with a topic and judge it and it doesn't need to be car related:
Topic for November is: Motion.

Photo's go here (http://www.octane.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=12216)

I presume we are going to keep this thread for discussions so I'll stick my entry for this month in a new thread and you can make it sticky later

Something I have been thinking for some time is that Octane needs a photography section.

Nice cars and good photographs are a natural match.

A good proportion of Octaners like to take pics.

There are a few things I would like to learn from others about how they have done / presented images

So can we have one?

agree with AFE, a photography section is a good idea, both to learn stuff and for people to show off their skills

ok, a few of mine. Not taken this month, but I'll take a few that are before the end of the month and enter those... Some to consider anyway:

The Escape section is for Photography and other hobby type activities. No need for a photography section imo. Just not big enough yet to need one.

Think this explains it

but I'd imagine for the first one there'd be a bit of flexibility with pics taken recently

Your post was full of optimism until that "(hopefully)" came along and ruined it all :D!
