    DP Salon Competition No 62 - STREETS
    ________________________________________
    Fortnightly Salon Competition No. 62

    STREETS


    Thanks to Audrey for running the last competition and for everyone submitting great images.

    For this Salon I could envision images of urban city streets, country lanes or futuristic highways…It could be in the day or at night, full of cars or completely empty, any photo that prominently includes the roads we get around on everyday.

    Deadline for entries is Midnight GMT on Wednesday April 22, 2009

    Here are the rules. Please take a moment to read them prior to shooting or uploading your submissions.

    1) All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/, they can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the Salon thread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixels wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

    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.)

    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 curators decision is final.

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

    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 the new theme by the 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 the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

    The Prize is the choice of either CF 8GB Ultimate or a SDHC 8GB Class 6 memory card.

    Thanks so much and Have fun!
    Philip

      Good subject Phil.

      I had intended to put a note somewhere BEFORE this salon began, just drawing people's attention to Rule 1 above. Here is an extract:

      "Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixels wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling."

      I would also like to add that some people attached their entries last time as "Thumbnails" and I had to open them to see the photograph.

      I actually downloaded everyone's entry into Lightroom so that I could see them altogether - it was a lovely sight, but when some are oversized and I have to scroll and some are thumbs, it makes it very difficult for the Curator.

      Good luck everyone in this new salon and have a happy Easter.

        Hi Audrey, thanks for the tips...thats a great idea about loading them into another application for easier viewing, thanks!

        And what a great first image to start off the salon Peder. Keep them coming!

          I think part of the problem is that at the moment when the code from the gallery picture is copied and pasted it includes the word 'thumbs/' and this needs to be deleted so the full photo appears. I actually have edited a few recently, but must have missed some

            No problems with the size of this. I spent most of last year driving around Europe in the Smart Car. By this time I had smashed my camera and took this with my phone looking back the way we had come. It is very high in the Dolomites in Northern Italy whilst on our way to Austria.

                Yes Stephen, thanks, I thought that originally I had seen a lot more thumbs. On the last day, there was only one left, but I had to look into his gallery to see the picture properly.

                Also forgot to say that Phil has chosen a good subject - I don't think we have had anything like that before.

                        Thanks Kurt -

                        Anne and I have spent some time trying to remember and we can't recall exactly where. We were on a touring holiday which covered France, Spain and Portugal. So the plot thickens even more....

                        Regards. Barr1e

                          The reason I asked is because I drove from the Rioja region to Leon a few years ago and your attractive shot put me in mind of the beautiful countryside we went through.
