March '08 Photo Challenge - "Simplicity" - Sponsored by Quik Pod!

[TwistMyArm]

Hi everyone,

The challenge theme for March is going to be "Simplicity". Good luck everyone and as always please don't forget to read the boring, but important stuff down below .

We'd also like to say thanks again for our sponsor Quik Pod. The Quik Pod DSLR is the world's first monopod with a grip handle at the base. It is lightweight (9 ounces), has a quick release camera clip and a built-in wide angle mirror for viewing overhead shots or self-portraits. The handle at the base doubles as an extendable handheld grip for cameras, camcorders or lighting holder and provides a low center of gravity foot for support when used as a monopod.

Comes with a carry bag, hiking clip, wrist strap, aluminum end cap and rubberized monopod adapter tip. Extends to 53" and contracts to 18". Recommended camera weight limit of 2 lbs.

Please email your photo to [email protected] 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 oppposed to 1KB=1024Bytes. When these programs calculate attachment size they will often read larger then they actually are. To be safe we recommend a target size of about 140KB so that once sent it does not go over 150KB.

[SBlanca]

[Monz]

so do you go for simplicity of technique or simplicity of subject?

 

[Lakewood Photography]

Beginner here.... I noticed that the rules state to not submit more than one photo. But I've noticed in prior challenges, some folks will submit multiple photos. I don't plan to submit more than one... but wanted to know if it's general practice to submit more than one?

Thanks in advance for the heads up.

 

[Big Bully]

There have been multiple photos submitted by a photographer?
The photos are sent into the email addy above, and then the moderator of this section posts the pictures, they do it all under her name so no one will know whose pictures they are.

For the monthly Photo Challenge, you can only submit one pic (which is not to have been previously posted on the forum). The challenge moderator, 'TwistMyArm', then posts them under that screenname so that the picture taker remains anonymous during the voting phase. So you either saw multiple photos under the name 'TwistMyArm', OR you're thinking of the more informal photo assignments where you can post more than one pic directly into the assignment thread (and there is no voting).
