For some reason people decided this picture of a dirty old wall was one of the cleanest entries for last month's contest, so here I am.



One thing I hate about being in a big city with pretty old buildings are power lines everywhere. If I had photoshop I'd probably spend most of my time trying to magic them away. Instead of being annoyed by them constantly maybe it's time for me to get inspired by them.

How about we make a contest around electrical power? It could be transformers, those weird boxes you sit on waiting for the school bus or repurposed dead trees/ utility poles etc. Let see watt generates the most buzz and sparks the most interest!

RULES:
This thread is for posting pics & voting.
1. One submission/poster. You can change your submission as many times as you want, so long as you only have one entry when the voting begins! Edit your post to do this, please.
2. Single photos only - no video, triptychs, or multi-photo entries. Blending exposures into a single image (such as focus stacking, or HDR), is ok though.
3. Photos must be taken during the period of the contest. No pulling out old favourites!
4. Contest will be open until [at least] the last day of the month at 11:59 p.m. GMT after which voting will begin
5. Voting will continue until some time after that, probably the 2nd or 3rd.
6. Use good judgment/good taste if venturing into NSFW or potentially offensive territory. PM me or a mod if you have questions.
7. When voting, please use the spoiler tag.
8. In the event of a tie the OP of the thread selects the winner.

I or the mods reserve the right to amend the rules if needed.

You can't really dust for vomit.

Nice. Really like your use of (what I assume is) bare / direct flash in general.

Thanks! This one's bare, just off axis enough to avoid reflections in the tiles and switchplates. I use more modifiers on wider scenes.

We vote after the OP closes entries for the month.

Edit: Oh for fucks sake. My fireplace hasn’t been lighting for the last few weeks so I thought I would take a shot of the igniter sparking but I go get the camera and the drat thing turns on.

You can look at the thread from the previous month to figure out the cadence.

Could it be called "April contest thread"?

Just chill. Submissions will close tomorrow at the earliest. Once they are closed you get to reply with the username of the poster you vote for, using spoiler tags. Just look at the old thread.

I live in the future but I think there's 20 hours left GMT, so lets get those final submissions in!

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
