You guys know the deal :) Every month, there will be a new "Theme" to capture. The picture can be of anything pertaining to that theme. Take a look at a previous Contest HERE.


Please pay attention as some things have changed:


Rules:
1) The photo can be photoshopped and can be altered in any way, shape or form.
2) Please submit only 1 picture.
3) Once you submit you pic, please don't go back and change it. Once you submit, make sure its exactly the way you want it.
4) Please no cheating. Please do not post pics that you found online and claim them as yours!
5) Be Creative!
6) YOUR PHOTO SUBMISSION MUST BE NEW PHOTO, TAKEN BETWEEN TODAY AND THE DEADLINE DATE SPECIFIED IN THIS POST



Almost like the "Ride of the Month" format, I will setup a new thread with everyone's submission. Everyone will then be able to vote on their favorite image. Prizes will be awarded! Small donations are welcomed ( yashart@hotmail.com ) to help fund the prizes, but are not required at all. This contest is free for all to enter! PM me with any, ideas, comments, or concerns.

DONATIONS RECEIVED TO DATE: $10 - Thanks to all who Donated!


Submissions for this contest will end on Wed, July 31st @ Midnight. A new voting thread will be created shortly after, and run for 1 week.

July's Theme: Abstract
Lets try something different this month. For those of you who are not familiar with Abstract photography, here is an excerpt from Deviant Art which explains Abstract art/photography better than I ever could.

"In essence an abstract photo presents a viewer with an image that is not immediately identifiable. It can be a collection of shapes, patterns, colors, or a play of light - natural or not. It will be something that can be interpreted a million different ways - something that will have a different meaning from one person to the next."

To give you an even better idea of abstract photography, follow this link to see some great examples, here: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGall2.asp?catID=19

I think this may prove to be the most challenging theme yet. However, I have no doubt that you guys will create some really cool pictures. I don't think there is a topic/ theme that evokes more creativity than this. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and try something your less comfortable with! Enjoy and Best of luck everyone! :)
 
I'm in also, but gah... I sent my camera in for repair.. hopefully its back before end of the July
 
I'm loving this idea. I'm sure the submissions will be quite varied. Hope I can come up with something good.

Here's my entry. =)

My submission... its kinda... random. Was walking around downtown Tucson today.
Taken with a Nikon D40 and kit lens. Nothing changed to the pic, just resized, added border and my watermark, thats it.
 
Hopefully my camera is back in time... shipping back to me tomorrow (and they upgraded my camera cause they couldn't figure out the problem)
 
Peggy's Cove

Taken today at Peggy's Cove. THis was my last stop before going home tomorrow. It's so beautiful here!!

Let me know if it needs to be bigger

hmm not to be negative or anything, but some of the entries don't seem to fit at all with this month's theme

abstract = non-figural or not immediately recognizable forms
