The next competition...</font>

As Fred received the most votes, he must choose the subject for the next photo competition!

The closing date for the next competition should be the last day of February, which gives everyone plenty of time to capture a shot, once Fred has decided on the topic.

Well done everybody!</font> smileys/smiley14.gif

Woohoo! smileys/smiley4.gif

Thanks for voting everyone! I'm very glad I won.
For those interested, for the winning shot I used:

- Camera: Canon 350 D + battery grip
- Lens: 50mm/f1.8 (on manual focus)
- Flash: Canon 420EX Speedlite external
- Velbon Sherpa tripod
- A tap
- water
- a sheet of white A4 paper as a background
- a pink Sax-p sticker carefully placed so that it reflected in the drop (easier said than done)


I've got a few ideas for the next subject... will tell you this week. smileys/smiley17.gif

[Simo]

Haha... Cant wait!

Who knows what could pop out of your mind... LMBO! © sax-p

[Frevo]

I'm keeping it simple. I could choose 'mountains' as a subject, but that would mean that I couldn't enter.. where the hell am I going to find a mountain! smileys/smiley17.gif

So I picked something different. smileys/smiley2.gif

[Dan]

Which is what????

[boz]

come on mate, let the cat out of the bag! LOL smileys/smiley2.gif

i hope its not clogs, because we dont have them over here LMBO! © sax-p smileys/smiley9.gif (only joking mate smileys/smiley2.gif )

[lozi_murias]

...anyone get the feeling Fred is trying to annoy us by not telling? smileys/smiley2.gif

(even if he's not trying he's certainly succeeding!!)

[Frevo]

Well I was thinking to pick pets... but as not everyone has pets (like myself for example) I decided to keep it a bit more simple... the subject is animals!

And yes lozi_murias... I was trying hehehe

[Chris]

Ooooo, think I might have to go on the hunt for some animals now and I might enter this next competition!

Well done Fred, great capture there mate!

The closing date for the next competition should be the last day of February, which gives everyone plenty of time to capture a shot, once Fred has decided on the topic.

It's about time we started thinking about the next competition, isn't it smileys/smiley17.gif
