Just updated mine with a larger size as a link, perhaps that would be a better option for the more bandwidth concious forum user? Have an 800 width with a link to a larger image?

I do not think an upgrade of 200px is going to be to much of a problem.

Crap I've got 2 days to do mine!

Need to get on it! :eek:

Mr Jones · 29 Oct 2009 at 23:28

Take a picture of your fart and fire.

Or take a picture of yourself getting really energetic for this shot

Mark A · 30 Oct 2009 at 16:27

Not happy with mine so I might change it tomorrow if i get a chance.

Phate · 30 Oct 2009 at 16:31

I'm leaving it a bit close to the mark.....

will get it done tonight if possible!

peterattheboro · 30 Oct 2009 at 19:24

Changing mine as it's a bit too 'in your face' and I don't think the judges will like it.

Steeps · 30 Oct 2009 at 21:03

Leaving it close, think I might have something. Going to shoot tomorrow :eek:

Phate · 31 Oct 2009 at 00:45

Going to do mine in a minute

Phate · 31 Oct 2009 at 01:38

Finally got something in, don't think I'm a winner at all but I quite like it for 10 mins work

Tried it with flames and flash but it just didn't work

Wedge · 31 Oct 2009 at 09:02

Phate, Not sure if its me, but it looks like you need to straighten it up a little?

a little right hand down?

I'd agree with that.

Well, after showing my entry to a couple of friends and none of them getting that the subject was infact a large rocket, I headed back to the Museum to try and re-shoot it and possibly get the fins in frame as well this time. Even with a viewing angle of 96degrees through my lens I was still having really problems getting the whole thing in frame, in any interesting and unobstructed way. After rolling about on the floor of the museum on my back I finally got something that I think shows the subject to be a rocket more clearly. I'm not sure that I like it as much although it's certainly a rocket now.

Edit: Entry now changed and settings updated.

Much improved I think - the colour works well.

Mr Jones · 31 Oct 2009 at 11:20

I didn't even realised it was a rocket, I kept assuming it was a train's steam chimney thingy...

What museum is that from?

DJ_Switch · 31 Oct 2009 at 12:27

Thanks for the comments. Quite glad I changed it now...despite feeling like a bit of a fool at the time of shooting it. I was getting some funny looks from groups of people. I sorely wish I'd had a tripod though.

It was in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. There were quite a few good subjects in there for this month's theme although it was hard to get an angle on most of them without seeing many other exhibits and groups of people.

This is why you shouldn't edit photos when you have been up for nearly 20hours!

Anyway, sorted

- Thank you!

I had a few ideas today involving either a waterfall near to my house or a blown down tree. But unfortunately the waterfall is now just a stream and the fallen tree has been removed lol.

Phate · 31 Oct 2009 at 18:35

I'm far from happy with mine, but however....Halloween is calling

Happy Halloween everyone
