  • Fortnighly Salon Competition #34 - SOUND

    Given there's 2 weeks for these comps, I wanted to choose something that would restrict shoebox-ing and get the old grey matter ticking over, therefore, this competitions theme will be

    SOUND

    What? Sound? How the hell do I photograph sound?
    I'm looking for images that depict sound / noise - a flag flapping in the wind, a lightbulb smashing, a gun firing, a glass shattering etc etc. Creativity and trekking outside the comfort zone will win the day...the sound of silence ain't gonna cut it here!

    And, to show willing, I'll shoot and post a theme image tomorrow evening.


    Contest will run till 23:59 GMT, Monday February 4th 2008.


    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.

          For everyone who lives near a canal, the sound of their engine is never forgotten...... (In fact, I remember recording the sound of a Lister on my phone for a fanatic!)

                I was going to post a Jet wizzing by at mk2, which has lots of noise coming out of it, but it would be an old pic, so I decided on something more recent.
                Huddersfield Festival of Light, there were lots of different sounds here

                  Until you've heard a young baby scream for an hour in the middle of the night, every night for a month, it's hard to appreciate how loud it really is! Do babies have an off-switch? I need some sleep!

                    apologies for the late results. been a bit busy.

                    so, without further ado......

                    1st - ben's (coupekid) shot of the eagle. captures exactly what i was hoping to see with the comp. being able to see the exhaled breath really lets you hear the sound that you instinctively know is there. great textures and great use of negative space made this shot a serious contender from the moment it was posted.
                    2nd - ash's fireworks shot - again, a shot where instinct tells you there is a huge accompaniment of noise
                    3rd - ryme-intrinisca's shot of the baby - no-one in their right mind couldn't say there's sound associated with this!

                    well done to the top 3, and congrats to ben for the winning shot. over to you dude for #35!

                          An excellent shot indeed. As soon as that got posted I just decided not to bother as to try and beat that would be hard!!

                          Well done.

                              Wowser!

                              I have an admition to make......apologies for not noticing I had won this......the missus has gone out and bought a Playstation 3! so I have been 'otherwise engaged!'

                              OK, I have already got an idea for the next Salon..........it will certainly get the grey matter going......

                              Thanks so much for choosing mine as the winner Dave.

                              If it is OK with Ian, I would like to roll over my prize to the next Salon as I have won a couple of cards in the past. So the next winner will win TWO cards..... a bit of an incentive to get people posting!
