Yes, let's have another photo thread perhaps? Would be fun. Various styles:
Abstract, realism, figurative… non specific, nature or whatever.
Photos based on feelings, moods? How does one feel, post a pic etc… Along those lines.

Trying to get my dropbox working… 8(

edit:
macro pics, graphics genres include to! :)
 
Just kind of skimmed thru this thread and I think I get the idea.. Here u post ideas of possible photography 'challenge' topic then somewhere else is where u post the actual pic when the contest starts??

If I am understanding that right, I would def love to get in on this! I was a photographer for 4 yrs till I quit recently. It wasn't fun anymore, but this is the exact thing I would love to participate in!
*i saw in the beginning of thread about prettying raw images and I LOVE that idea! I personally don't use photoshop. I am self taught on my camera, not some software that ppl rely on too much. Doesn't give u the true sense of a photo, IMHO.

My 2 cents I would like to share as a topic..

Lights
Any kind. But I think it would be fun since it's that time of year! Between holiday lights and near things u can see with fall/winter weather, would love to see what ppl come up with ;)
 
Bloody hell. 7 years since I started this thread. 8o

And yes, you're doing it right - suggestions go here, the mods add them to the master list, and a new thread is started with each one.

Welcome to the contests, and thanks for reminding me to buck up my ideas and contribute to them again. :)
 
How about the theme be "Flicker." How to capture something animate in an inanimate moment?
 
Cats! We all love cats so why not... :D

Or perhaps it could be a bit broader & simply be "pets".
