Thanks to Philip for running the last salon and picking such a great subject. So - now its my turn
.
The subject I have chosen is
CANDID PHOTOGRAPHY
Wikipedia defines this sort of photography as "un-posed and unplanned, immediate and unobtrusive" (Personally, I query the 'unplanned' bit, in that you still need to make sure you are in the right place, with the camera ready to take the shot in order to get a great candid capture).
So, lets see what you can make of this - could be friends or family in an unguarded moment, a participant in a formal event caught in an informal pose, or strangers in a public place in a shot which tells a story. (NB - if taking photographs of people in a public place please respect local laws and customs).
deadline for entries is 20.00 BST on Friday 8 May 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.
Regards,
Neil
