[Damien]

You wouldn't be.

That is a very intriguing idea!! I'd be up for that

 

[n3ophy7e]

Some more photo contest theme ideas:

Sleep/dreams
Curves
Relaxation
Texture
Clashing colours
Strangers
Minimalism

 

[Banquo]

I think we're at the point now where we can use duplicate themes and nobody would mind.

i agree, especially for some of the "classic" photography themes, like macro, sports, cityscapes, etc.

but i still like the use of the narrowly-themed contests too, since they usually bring out a handful of really interesting entries.

 

[n3ophy7e]

Sure, I'd like to do more macro, bluelight and city themes soon. Decisions decisions!! :D

Updated list on page 17

Hi folks, I've been a bit bored tonight so I thought I'd have a look through the suggested subjects from everyone versus the actual competition subjects we've had. Hopefully it will help you n3ophy7e to choose the future ones.

Wow, thats an awesome list. Thanks for taking the time to do that Cletus! There are a lot in there that would have really interesting entries.

P.S. I think we have actually done the Abstract/unidentifiable one fairly recently. I seem to remember a couple of entries in it.

 

[felix]

excellent stuff, well done!


(Size/Enormity/Vastness - pennywise - done! i'm pretty sure.)

 

[cletus]

No problem, it will at least give us an idea of what may come up in the future.

Size/Enormity/Vastness removed from list, thanks Felix.

Mz Thizzle, dunno about "Abstract/unidentifiable", but we've had "Absurd/Ridiculous" lately?

There's some real good suggestions in there, especially Johnny1's "Paparazzi" guerilla tactic, surprise photo. That should be fun bursting into a resturaunt - click! - run away!!

 

[n3ophy7e]

Great work Cletus!! Thanks for doing that, much appreciated!
We are sure to have some interesting themes coming up. The next 5 round's themes
have been chosen but after those ones we'll get some of these new ones kickin'

 

[cletus]

More than happy to help n3o :D

There's a whole load of....err...."discussion" shall we say, through this thread about to edit & not to edit, etc.. & I thought the suggestions got kind of lost in it all.

 

[Jamshyd]

I can't believe "Tits" is being taken seriously!!

 

[eDDe9]

I can't believe "Tits" is being taken seriously!!

Oi check your PMs..

But wait, what's this?? Back in Canada

 

[mindtools]

I was joking with tits
But let's see what happens :D

You're right, I just looked it up, I was thinking of a couple of photos from the "things that look like other things" contest (which would also fit into the abstract theme)

 

[cletus]

Haha! If I left it out, I would be sitting here now having to justify why I thought I was judge jury, & executioner for all the suggestions.

It could be the type of bird that's common around the British Isles.

Like the Blue Tit:

The Marsh Tit:

Or even the Great Tit:

You know - Tits! :D

 

[n3ophy7e]

^^ lol!!!

Jam, don't worry, as much as I love tits, we won't be having it as a theme :D

 

[cletus]

^Shame, because my missus has a decent set of chesticles as well.
