January '10 Photo Challenge - "Musically Inclined"

[Chris of Arabia]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those who took part in the December '09 challenge, let's see how the vote goes this time.

For this month, I have decided to make the theme "Musically Inclined", so lets have your very best shots of instruments, gear and performers; anything related the playing or performing of music really. For those that can't get to a live event, this is a good opportunity to test out your still life skills. Let's see what you can do then.

The prize for the winner of the vote, as always, will be a $25.00 Amazon voucher courtesy of the TPF owners.

For all those who wish to participate in this challenge please take a moment to read through the following:

• The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2010
• The image can be no larger then 150KB*

Please email your photo to photochallenge@thephotoforum.com and remember to enter the subject as indicated.

All photos must include the form when submitted. Just copy and paste it into your email. This will ensure that no mistakes are made when photos are submitted and therefore, hopefully, no photos are excluded. If the form is not included in the submission email the photo will not be included in the challenge gallery and voting process.

There is more important information regarding rules and procedures located in the FAQ section. We highly recommend that you take the time to read these FAQs.

Good luck to everyone and have fun with this challenge!

*150KB will be taken as the “size on disk” and not the actual file size. Also some email programs consider 1KB=1000Bytes as opposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger than they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.
