Photography Competition

[Tetters]

We won't know unless we try it. Maybe you could put it on the newsletter, so that everyone is aware that it's starting? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You might find that you're on your own there mate

We could have one on cacti

Free Rein - an open competition for any picture of the members choice be it in or outside the garden.

Excellent idea @Sheal but it might be Free rein-deer here. Its a big industry in the North.

Having no specific categories might just attract more entries.

This might actually be the best idea, especially starting out. Let's just say the photo must be taken during the current month.

And there are so many categories besides the obvious !!
Garden Kitsch
Rainy day garden
Sunset garden
Birds in the garden
Bats in the garden (I love bats)
Tree canopies
Good dirt
Wheelbarrows full of weeds
etc
etc, I could go on and on !!

Ok then Mike, if we don't get going - even if only two or three of us try, we won't do it at all. My biggest problem is that I can't do photos on this dopey contraption, so Zigs would have to post mine for me maybe ......

Sorry AnnieKay but I think restricting the competitions just to nature and gardening, how ever much we love them, will become boring after a while and I think entries will fall. My suggestion of 'Free Rein' meant anything in or outside the garden like local scenery, even towns and villages. From an unusual building to an aeroplane, meaning that particular month's competition is open to everything - whatever catches our eye. But of course it's Mike's decision on how open the subjects will be.

That's a good idea to throw in off the wall subject matter from time to time; it would, definitely keep it more interesting.

Trains
Sidewalk cracks
Achitechture
Etc
etc.
