Photo competition...

Grab your camera and get out in the Spring to win our competition. You have until 16th July at Midnight to enter. There is only one rule, that is, you must have taken the photo yourself. Any subject will be fine or you may find an old photo that you particularly like in an old shoe box..!!

Send the photos to Admin  using the PM. I will post them very soon on this thread.

OY has kindly agreed to be the judge so will not be eligible to enter, neither will I be able to enter, so, members, it's up to you.

Do your best to be the champion photograper of Wigan Peers. Best of luck to all who enter............

Admin.

How many entries per person can members make?

As many as they want to. There is no limit.

A great idea to have a photo competition

I have no problem taking photos but when I try to post them from my i-phone to WP they always turn out at 90 degrees out of position !!!.
I suppose I have 3 months or so to try and figure it out.
I think OY as a judge is great, but I imagine his standards will be very high.

No problem with the orientation, Ray. I am able to rotate any pic received.....

Good to know Admin, maybe nearer the time if I'm struggling I'll ask you for help

Does the photo have to be on an hosted link ?

No, just send it to admin via a PM.

Ok

Ok - Admin and I have thrashed out some details and settled on the following...

1. Entries should be new photos taken from now until the deadline. I’d prefer people actually take a photo rather than just look back and pick a nice sunset from their holiday abroad 10 years ago.

2. I’d like people to give some basic info about their entry. What, where and when as a minimum. I’m not interested in what camera or phone you’ve used. A photograph is a photograph.

3. We will limit the number of photos entered to six each.

4. Depending on how many we get - I may split them into a few different categories - with a winner in each and an overall winner.

Just lost interest. Won’t be bothering. I follow enough rules.

Take up to 6 photos. Tell us about them. It’s not hard.

Yesterday no stipulations and submit as many as you like. I arrive home in April and have no plans to do any travel. Gardening time. I can’t even take garden photos as very little will be out by July. So no travel, no garden means no photos. I have thousands taken all over the world in the past few years. So no interest in taking part.

Some shots of Teneriffe would be great. ...

Sadly not a very photogenic place. Will see what I can trail out to when I get home. Good luck to all the entrants.

We have our first entry in our photo competition from Roskie. Good luck.

And the second entry in our photo competition from Broady in Tenerife.

A bike in Tenerife.

Well folks, we are now into the month of May and we do have many weeks left to get your pics in for the birthday celebrations in July.

Do try to get out and about with your camera and show what you can do. The subjects are many...landscapes, seascapes, woodlands, valley's, hills and all kind of wildlife...even pics of your sisters, brothers and cousins are welcome.

Best wishes...and we look forward to your entries soon.............
