I second the idea for abstract as a topic.
I just had another idea (or rather, I remembered that I had had another idea earlier) - "Patterns". It overlaps somewhat with "Abstract", but I think I'd like to see it as a separate (additional) category.

Another one I once saw as an assignment for a photo course is "visual rhythm". Maybe "repetition" might be a substitute for that. These might overlap with abstract too, though not necessarily.

I have started playing around with the subject, and it has been fun, although I am not quite satisfied with the results yet. But I think I should be able to get something in.

I have at least two entries. 🙂

Another idea for a category: Light. We had "Natural Light" as a category earlier; here I am thinking more about experimental pictures with light from any source, natural or artificial. I got this idea from a friend who is experimenting with a light pendulum: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/cat/2167/display/5252860

Some people here have a lot of experience, too. Don't let that discourage you. It's fun to participate even if you don't win, and you may get some useful comments and tips. I have participated in some rounds even though I didn't have any pictures I was really satisfied with. Sometimes those pictures didn't get many (if any) points, sometimes others liked them much better than I did myself. 🙂

When I started thinking about this round, I had a hard time coming up with ideas, and I didn't really like the subject. But after playing around a bit, I got more ideas than I can use, and I have had a lot of fun! Now I need to clear up the mess. 😉

I just realized that I will be very busy next weekend when the round was supposed to start. At best I'll be able to open it on Sunday evening, but more likely I'll be too tired. So if anyone needs a bit more time, that's no problem (but please tell me).

Too true.

Anybody with an interest, a camera and a couple of spoons (ie: anything) can take part in this round. As K said, this comp is more about sharing our photos and hopefully getting some constructive criticism.

Still Life is an interesting round, IMO. I've been trying to focus on lighting, texture and detail. It doesn't really matter how mundane the object(s) is.

edit: If anyone read my response to Ragnaroks question about extension tubes in the previous round, it turns out I was completely wrong.

I'll be busy during the weekend. During the week I'll only be normally busy, so I expect to be able to start the round on Monday or Tuesday if I can't do it on Sunday. What I am more worried about is that we still don't have very many entries.

Great. I'll extend the deadline to Sunday evening - that's no problem really, since I won't be able to work on the comp before that anyway.

Has anyone heard anything from Dan and Sarah, or from Niallone?
