    Challenge 170 - Keep it local.....

    There is an old photographer's trope that if you drive your car for half an hour and park up anywhere, within 100 yards radius of the car you should be able to find at least 1 photo opportunity.

    Sadly, current circumstances prevent us tackling that challenge, but we are allowed to wander close to home for a bit of exercise and mental stimulation.

    So, although I am probably making a rod for my own back in terms of making it more difficult to compare and contrast entries, I offer you.....

    Carte blanche as to subject matter, with the proviso that you take the image within a quarter of a mile of where you live. This includes in your home, your garden and your immediate surroundings.

    Obviously, I shall not be able to determine where you live or took the photo, so if you cheat, only you will know and only you will bear the secret shame!


    Judging will be based on the following:
    * Fulfilling the brief,
    * A good photo based on composition, focus and consideration to the light,
    * Will I remember your image after I go away from the computer?

    I will do my best to find a winner based on my criteria stated above, bearing in mind I have absolutely no qualifications other than I know what I like.


    The usual rules apply:
    • The competition subject shall be selected by the winner of the preceding competition who will also judge the competition.
    • One picture per person; images should conform to general image posting rules.
    • Use a Canon EOS camera - DSLR, R or M series.
    • Posted images should be taken during the running period of the competition. Any images submitted that were taken before the competition started, or after the competition has ended, will be deemed invalid.
    • Images 800 pixels widest max.
    • No Photoshop frames and borders.
    • Include a title; although the image should convey the theme without title description.
    • No comments on images (on this or another thread) until the round is over.
    • No canvassing e.g. “I’m thinking of posting this image for the challenge, what do you think?”
    • I will pick 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourite images.

    Closing date for entries is midnight (GMT) on the evening of Sunday 14th February 2021.

                            Thanks to all who have entered so far - a gentle nudge for those who are thinking of it - just the weekend to go!

                            It would be lovely to see something reflecting Valentine's Day!
