RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.

4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700 pixels. Free resizing software - Irfanview.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted end date.

8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.

Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing.

Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 2 days (12am Sunday - 12am Tuesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!
 
Please submit your photos in this thread and a mod will re-post them when voting starts in a separate voting thread.

Voting: December 21 - December 22

Ruins of government barracks positioned to quell the Jacobite rebellion. The rebels eventually captured it, but later abandoned it and burnt it to avoid letting the government re-take it. The condition it is in now is the way they left it in April 1746.

Had to use a tripod for this, getting all the light in like that meant keeping the camera still far longer than the nanosecond I am capable of.

Bloody hell, it says that i'm forbidden to upload photos because I don't have access on the server or something? I don't know, well here's my entry, i'll check back tomorrow or something to see if I can actually post the photo.

EDIT: Forgot to explain, it. The photo was taken about 2 years ago with the theme Freedom for my High School photog course. The insinuation was that freedom can be found through music, and the nature background is basically just because we were stoned at the time, but I guess it could have meanings aswell haha. It was taken on an old Nikon SLR (can't remember now, the thing broke so long ago) with some XP2. This is a very old photo, i'd post some of my more recent work but it doesn't really fit the theme.

Beautiful photo Agnu :)
You might want to check out the rules of the contest again though, I think your entry might need some altering? Or lack thereof...?
 
I'm not quite sure what you mean N3ophy7e? If it's about the link thing, the 'Insert Image' thing isn't working for me at the moment. Not really sure about how to get around that...

Thanks for the comment by the way :).
 
Oh no I was talking about the border around the photo, and if it's had any modifications from Photoshop or other programs etc.
Hmmm, maybe try hosting it on photobucket.com?? That always works for me.
And if the "Insert image" button doesn't work you can just type
around the photo's URL.
Does that help??

I wonder if that works...

Nah it has had no post-processing whatsoever and the border is merely an effect from the scanner. It was shot on pure film with a pre-80's SLR, printed and scanned. Can't get much more pure than that :D.
 
Wow. Almost tempted to withdraw my entry now.

Especially like Pillthrill's. Love how the clouds break right above the person's head, gives the whole thing a really portentous feel...

Where is that? I've never really thought of the American Mid-West as having scenery like that (your location says Iowa), makes me think of New Zealand or the UK.
 
^ Ooh! My back garden again, PT. Do love your Welsh pics :D

Some amazing pics already. Pretty much all of them really, but Neo's is just brilliant and B&W film always turns my head so Agnu had many brownie points from me already :)

Off to look through my pics to see if I have owt to suit...

EDIT: Done looking and decide this fitted the theme best from my available pics :)
