The rules are as follows:

  • Entries will accepted until 11:59pm (GMT) July 28th.
  • Each competition's voting will last for one week. The winner of that round will choose the next theme.
  • All entries must have been taken between within the last 6 months and preferably after the announcement of the theme.
  • Entries must be posted as a thumbnail no larger than 700px on the longest edge. Full sized images may be as larger as you'd like.*
  • You must submit only your own photographs, do not post anyone else's work.
  • Only one photograph per person, marked with Final Entry. You can change your entry, but must remove your current entry first and clearly state that you have posted a new entry.
  • You must not vote for your own photograph when the Poll is up. Only vote for a photograph taken by another entrant.
  • The photograph must be submitted with the following information: Subject, Date and Camera used and, if you'd like, the major camera settings - shutter speed, ISO, etc.

*While full sized images may be as larger as you'd like, you should try to limit them to approximately 1200px to enable viewing the entire image without scrolling. It's much easier to see the full effect of the shot when you can view it all at once and not have to pan.

Current theme, chosen by Week #4 winner Boffin:
Mobile photography. Photos taken with phone cameras, to prove that its not what you shoot with, but how you shoot with it. Editing can be done on computers but extra points should be awarded to those who edit through their phones (instagram, photoshop express, endless other apps, combinations of many). If you don't have a phone camera, try borrow one and in failing that, shoot with the cruddiest digital you can find, to keep with the spirit of competition. No DSLR shots. At. All.
Long description, but the request is simple - put away your DSLR and get out your phone!

Good luck, everyone!
 
If HFS sees this he has an unfair advantage with his iPhone lens kit :lol: This should be good though!
 
I had the same thought. No worries, though. I'll just delete any of his posts. :mischievous:

:P
 
Do shots of DSLR's count? :lol:
Final Entry
"Shooter's View"

Hipstamatic is tons better than Instagram.
 
^Nice,
I don't use any of those programs, so am I the real hipster? Ohh the horror:nervous:
 
While Instagram's probably the most popular, there's alot of good ones out there, Pixlr-o-Matic, PhotoToaster, Luminance, and Squara, to name a few. Luminance is the best for actual editing and quite a bit of control over an image, only problem is sometimes artifacts will run rampant.
 
Oh, I'm a bit of a fiend of iPhotography (is that a word now?) so I may put an entry in later in the week. 👍
 
Cool theme, I've taken quite a few pictures on my phone recently, due to my laziness and I don't know which one to pick!

really neat lens info, i'm sure

No larger version because it was only ~850 pixels after being cropped, so I didn't bother. This is perhaps only a placeholder anyways.
 
Damn, those iPhones 4S have a great little camera, I gotta give you that...

mmmhhh my phone cam is miserable. If Ican find something I like and achieve something decent with it, I'll chime in.
 
From this evening. My girlfriend and I were driving down a random dirt road in the middle of nowhere round dusk. We found this great view of the sunset. I was snapping pictures with my DSLR, then remembered this comp. So I got a quick one in with the phone.
