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.

I couldn't think of anything for '7' in an obvious sense, so I eventually decided upon 7 am.

Warriewood Sunrise.

Yeah for sure Neophyte, I used a 5D mkII with a Cokin 3 stop/Hitech 2 stop soft GND's at around 7am at Warriewood beach :). I used a Canon 17-40L for the shot and was waiting there since 5am for this shot and it was a 120 second exposure at f/16 I do believe - although i'll need to double check that if you guys need exact details :).

I am although a profesional fashion/landscape photographer so i'm sorry if that kinda goes against guidelines - i'm just in it for fun like you guys :).

EDIT: Here's a link to my portfolio if anyone is interested ->> http://www.flickr.com/agnu.

Give me a PM if you have any more questions guys, i'd be more than happy to answer and/or have a chat :).

Fantastic!!
And no, being a professional photographer certainly doesn't go against the guidelines mate :D

Warriewood Beach as in Manly?? My sister lives at Curl Curl, kinda close by! :)

Uh, maybe you should double check the contest rules too. ;)

From that image's EXIF data:

Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows
Tint: -15
Shadows: 5
Brightness: +50
Contrast: +25
Saturation: 0
Sharpness: 25
Luminance Smoothing: 0
Color Noise Reduction: 25
Parametric Shadow Split: 25
Parametric Midtone Split: 50
Parametric Highlight Split: 75
Sharpen Radius: +1.0
Sharpen Detail: 25

... just sayin.
 
Ahhh yes, good investigating BA, thank you! :)

Agnu, perhaps have a read of the contest rules and re-submit your entry. Have you got the unaltered original photo? That'll do just fine :)
 
Only photo I could find with 7 of anything in it. If you check, the EXIF data is the same as above, only tint is +6 (this is just colour balance). I haven't done anything to it.

Very simple set up. Black polo shirt pulled tight on a table top, window light to light the chips, flash above and behind me at 1/32 power shot through umbrella to fill in the shadows and light cards and hand. D300 & 50mm on tripod. I have a set up shot if anyone is interested. :)
