Hey people,

The October challenge theme will be "Colour" (or for the Americans "Color" :mrgreen:). Hopefully we'll see a larger turnout this month then last.

Please read the following! If you don't read the following carefully your photo may not be included in the voting process:

- The deadline for submissions is October 31st
- The image should be about 70k
- Include your forum username when submitting
- The Submitted photo must be in the form of a jpeg
- Please keep your photo anonymous (no distinguishing watermarks, and no photos that have been posted previously on the forum)
- Submit no more then one photo
- If you wish you may include a title when submitting your photo

Please email your photo to photochallenge@thephotoforum.com.

Please keep in mind that in order to keep things organized we may choose to exclude some photos from the voting stage. We'll try to keep as many in as possible though

Good luck to everyone and have fun with this challenge!

Ok, this one is going to be easier than the last one. :)

Too bad I dont have PS so I can mess around with some of the colors( or as you Canadians would say, 'colours'). :lmao: :lmao: :hug::

HI!

Im new here.. Love photography.. Im pretty much new to all the photography *words* so to speak! Im interested in trying out for this contest.. However, a little lost on the understanding...

I think as LittleMan has said this is a very vague request so I would have thought it could be colour in any "form" whatever inspires you and makes you think wow thats a good use of colour...

Abstract is correct,
You can use any color...
You can send in whatever photo you think best represents the subject. :D
Good luck! Be sure to read the instructions and if you have any questions about them you can ask here or PM me. :D Welcome to the forums btw! :D

You would pick colour when the weather is so grey and I'm on a black and white kick! Never mind - might motivate me to get out shooting again.

hey, colour was here first, so color is just redneck talk :D

i personally find this a weird topic and really a very hard one... i wonder also how many pics there'll be. millions, probably :D

haha. it's certainly more of a well known topic than 'juxtaposition' to most. :)

Color's broadness makes it a hard topic though... There are so many shots that could be taken to highlight color... -and in many different ways and forms...
-it's hard to think about what would be fitting...
I'll give it a try though!

Everything you see is in colour..so this should be very interesting and I think it may come down to the most creative use of colour . Good luck everyone !

Not so sure you are right here, linguistically, for the -or ending is the old Latin ending, and the -our ending is the French variety of the same... and something tells me that Latin was there first...

I find this such a tough topic that even "Juxtaposition" seemed easier to me... the possibilities for "Colour" (as I was taught in school only because we were taught British English) are so huge... Dang! Where to start?

My first time on the Forum, 'Hello' everyone. Another first, entry into a Photo competition. It's all too much...

10-20-2005, 03:02 AM
damn! you're right here

[13th century. Via Old French < Latin color]
apparently you were also wrong but closer to the truth than me. and plus colour sound better! :P
eydryan
10-20-2005, 03:04 AM
and more from brittanica this time:
Middle English colour, from Old French, from Latin color; akin to Latin celare to conceal -- more at HELL (http://www.britannica.com/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=hell)
so the american english word is actually derived from the english colour which in turn is derived from the latin color :lol:

hey kid. this is not a critique gallery. i say we vote whether he should be allowed to participate at the contest, this is cheating... or well maybe ignorance but still it's not supposed to be here so i say we scrub him at least for this one. otherwise people will remember this shot from here and say uh it's that guy...
LaFoto
10-24-2005, 06:04 AM
We need not "scrub" anyone here as long as this very photo does not appear in the Challenge. I am sure it has only been shown here out of ignorance.

"SleepyFireTown", photos that have once before been shown in any of the galleries here on this board must no longer enter the Challenge, for it is supposed to be completely anonymus. And this thread in which the October theme is being discussed is no gallery, so I would kindly request you to take your photo and present it in General Gallery, for example. But keep in mind: THIS photo must no longer go into the Challenge.

10-24-2005, 02:32 PM
whta? i thought it said include your username?
LaFoto
10-24-2005, 02:50 PM
If you hand in a photo that is supposed to take part in the Challenge, you e-mail it to the address given in the very first post, SleepyFireTown. In that e-mail, you must, of course, give your username, so ONE person DOES know all the identities (or board identities) of those who take part. How else would he in the end be able to declare a winner? No one else, though, is supposed to know who handed in the photos until voting is clearly over.

And therefore no photos that have been shown before are supposed to go into the Challenge because then it would be known by whom that photo is. And that might distort the voting. Do you understand? So if you have another photo full of colour, send it to the address provided in the very first post and hope for the best ;).
