April 09 Competition - Discussion Thread

[andy-xr]

The theme for April is "Musical"

Be creative, think about it a bit - if you dont have an existing shot maybe there's something you can put together over the next 4 weeks

Best of luck!

Excellent Idea ...

Heads off to London looking for buskers ...

/flicks through Smugmug for anything musical.

I have this, which I think is a bit boring:



And I have this, which although a bit more 'creative' is more of technical exercise than a 'photograph':



If I get time in the next 4 weeks, I may try and set up something and get a picture that combines the two...

I like the colours in this:


but perhaps this has more energy:

Mmmm interesting theme. I have these in my archive but plan on something new (hopefully )

Why's this competition not attracting much attention? Too wide a scope? Not even much chat.....

[Colin RedGriff]

Don't know - I'm still working on something for this one.

its out of a lot of peoples comfort zones probably. By that i mean not many will either be into gig photography or have a musical interest to work with so probably not going to be as popular as portraits or the last one of detail.

I've something in mind for a shot, but it's going to be at least 1-2 weeks before I get home to sort it out...if that happens

Well I have not entred fo a while, but when I saw music was the idea I could not resit creating a collage of bits to put in! 'fingers crossed' =)

[Toastgirl]

I took the below photos last night at the local pub. I'm not particularly happy with them, but these are the best I could manage without a flash (as the batteries have run out) and high ISO.

[sammy_bibs]

I like your post Craig, is different to the close up shot that I was expecting to see.
