Default Photo Competition Round 54 - Seeing things differently

Photo Competition Round 54 – Seeing things differently ......Entries (Ends Sunday 26th April 2009)


This month how about looking things from unusual and/or interesting angles or vantage points? It could be a worm's eye view of the World or it could be
just a refreshing and new way to look at something that we see every day. I thought that this would let people cover everything from portrait to landscape and show what they can do with creative camera work, use of aperture and lots more


Entries only in this thread please.

Discussion in the discussion thread.


Rules

1. Image must have been taken within the competition period, which is from Friday 10th April to Sunday 26th April 2009
2. No image will be greater than 800 pixels along its longest side.
3. Image overall will not exceed 300kb (defined as 307,200 bytes).

If a submitted image contravenes rules 1 ,2 or 3 could people please mention this in the discussion thread so that the poster can fix it, some advice to the poster about how they might rectify the problem might be handy. No image which breaks any of these rules will be included in the voting thread so let's try to avoid a submission being left out due to not meeting the rules.

4. Each entrant can change their posted image at any time (using edit function) up to the closing date for submissions which is midnight UK local time on Sunday 26th April 2009.
5. Maximum of three images per entrant.
6. Digital manipulation is allowed in order to correct technical issues. Sharpening, levels, contrast and colour adjustments are allowed as is the cloning out of minor defects.
7. If you feel the need to use other digital tools or effects then these must be fully documented so that people can learn how to use such tools/effects.
8. Image must be hosted so that it appears correctly in the competition thread using something like photobucket or a direct link to the photo if you cannot do this.
9. Image must be titled but not on the image itself, i.e. some bold text naming the image should be posted above it. In addition, to benefit others, please post some details below the pic e.g. EXIF data or just aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, equipment used etc. (this is a learning exercise after all).
10. There will be no posts in the Entries thread other than those for the posting of competition images.
11. There are no judges, only votes from Scoobynet members, their collective decision is final.
12. Voting should be from Monday 27th April until 8pm Thursday 30th April. Anyone with a Scoobynet log-in will be eligible to vote, not just those submitting pictures.
13. Images will meet the requirements of the ScoobyNet T&Cs
14. Winner gets to choose the theme for the next round.

In the Shower



Samsung GX10, built-in flash at f16, 18-55mm at 55mm. Hoya UV filter. Manually focussed on about 0.3m.
Converted to B&W in Photoshop (some of the drops had very bright coloured rainbow reflections) and contrast increased.

And yes, it was actually taken in the shower

First few pics with the new lens and camera that my dad has taken. I am posting on behalf of him as he doesn't have a SNET account.
All were hand held.
