Questions, thoughts and comments about the competition goes here.

Personally, I'm curious about how people will interpret this theme. I'm actually a bit surprised this one got the most votes, because if I remeber correctly, there were a few other themes that were suggested more frequent before I put the poll up.

Are you guys planning on enering with one of two photos? Colors or black&white?

*Cheers* I like this theme!

I'd rather be able to take one photo, because I think you can show what talent you have by integrating two very different ideas into one picture. But I'm not quite sure how I'll do that, so I still may end up entering two. Hopefully it won't come to that though.

I can't wait for the entries to come in!
Very interesting theme.

Can I enter two pictures that each have light/dark in them? I can't decide which ones to enter, since I spent a week taking pictures of light/dark over the summer and I have like 200 of them.

[Palagrin]

I think you can, at least that was my understanding.

[Lady Goldylocks]

My original idea was either one photo with both light and dark or two photos one with light and one with dark. But It's not like unbelievably strict or anything, the most important thing is that the two photos fit together as a pair.

[Quoth the Raven]

Oh. They have to fit together? I thought it was that you can have two entries. Dang.

Can someone give a summary or definition of Light and Dark for this cometition?

[Quoth the Raven]

It's just Light vs. Dark. Your own interpretation.

...Got it .

And could the due date be longer, because I don't think I'll be able to have it up by the 25th, as I'm just so busy with stuff.

[Lady Goldylocks]

Yeah Quoth, that was the idea. But they don't have to fit all that insanely well together. In a way I guess it's enough that one's themed light and one darkness. I guess I should rephrase the post so it's less confusing. (But I think I should do that tomorrow, I'm so slow right now it's embarrassing )

Um, the theme is open for interpretation but my thoughts are that you play with shadows and light, and darkness in general to make some sort of artistic expression. Like for example the photo in the competition thread, or if you look at paintings; paintings with chiaroscuro. It's about contrasts sort of. Um.. I hope that helped, but maybe I should try to explain again later.

EDIT: Well, as Quoth said, it's mostly up to your own interpretation. And perhaps we could move the due date. We'll see.

=( No entries yet?

Oh well, I entered mine. The first one was taken using someone else's camera that lacks manual functions, so it's horribly grainy. =(

[Lady Goldylocks]

Just posted the photo I'm entering. I had to post an old one since my camera is broken

So do you guys want to vote for each photo separately or for each contestant as a whole?

[Invisible Ink]

If we get more entrants, I'd say we should vote on each contestant, but with the few pictures we've got up now, I'd go with individual pictures, just so that we have more options.

I'll keep the entry thread open about 24 hours more. So there's your chance to do last minutes edits or entries.
