Fortnightly Salon Competition No. 31 - Movement

[coupekid]

A big thanks to Jennifer for choosing my cheeky little fella for winning the last competition.

This time I would like to challenge everyone to capture 'Movement'

This can be interpreted however you wish, as long as you capture some sort of motion, movement, speed or whatever.

So dust off the tripods, extend the shutter times, practice the panning, and get snapping.

You have until the Midday 15th December to complete your submissions.

I would like to see as many entrants as possible, as the winner will have the priviledge running the Christmas Salon Competition!

Here are the rules:

1) All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/
The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the Salon thread.

2) One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

3) Entries should be "In line" within the thread (not as links to an image held somewhere else, any external links or photos held anywhere other than the Galleries will be deleted.)

4) Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

5) After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

6) The curator's decision is final.

7) Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

9) These rules are to be copied and pasted with a new theme by the new Curator at the top of the new Salon thread with a finish date and time.

10) As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

One from the archive for me too Ben, shown this before but I think it admirably shows the theme of movement. Taken at a Rodeo we visited near Bryce Canyon Utah

Here's my first attempt in the DPnow Salon:

It's an inverted water reflection taken at a very slow shutter speed to allow floating leaves swirling in the current to make movement trails, which I hope creates an illusion of swirling wind in this image.

Hate to say it Ian but the Fortnightly Competition has degenerated into a troll through the archives - so what IS the point! ! ! !

Not necessarily Roger, though in some respects in it such a bad thing that a Salon Comp gives one a chance to display an older photograph?

I think all too often we take a photo, archive it, then never see it again, and if a Salon Competition like this gives us the chance to go through our old pictures, and find a suitable image, then so be it.

Please also remember Roger, that this competition is run by the previous winner, and as such i is down to the winner to stipulate the rules. ANYONE who wins can stipulate that the picture submitted is a new one. I chose not too for the reasons above, so I would suggest to you, that you show off one of your pictures old or new, try and win, then the next one you can make a rule about not using old photos!

I'm inclined to agree Ben. I went through a spell of trying to take an image specifically for the Salon. However this is not always possible and in fact I have not entered at all for the last few salons, as I didn't even have anything in the archive that was suitable. Numbers of entries have been falling recently though and I feel its better to enter an image from the archive than not at all, hence my picture entered in this one.

So come on Roger, don't be so negative, either take a picture to fit the theme or dig one out of the archive. Either way its better than not entering at all wouldn't you say

I do accept your point, but the Salon isn't really a deadly serious photography competition. It's just for fun. However, if I was the curator, I'd give more credit to an entry that had been created specially for the Salon.

Anyway - the Salon wasn't created by me; it was suggested and implemented by the users of the forum If the rules need changing, the users will need to decide!

So would I Ben, I think we would be pleasantly surprised. I think John is low on digital images, though I'll bet he has many great shots on film which need scanning
