The rules are as follows:

  • Entries will accepted until 11:59pm (GMT) Wednesday 15th January
  • 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 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 as chosen by week 38 winner, TB:
I've decided to go nice and simple and I've always been infatuated with it - FIRE.
 
Hmmm, Fire... I like fire a lot myself too, and have probably taken hundreds of photo's of campfires (y'know, when you're sat around the fire in the middle of the night, drunk, with your SLR -- it's either stars, or the fire..!), but none have ever been an interesting photo. Need to give this one some thought.
 
^^ Wish I had an opportunity like that to shoot. Lovely, well done. 👍
 
Thanks. :)

Things kind of just fell in place for that one, my roomie and his girl were going to the park to take some photos so I tagged along and a group of guys were preparing a huge fire of about 15 smallish Christmas trees. The initial fire was huge and nearly burnt off the side of the guys face who lit it! I guess he never learned not to light the gas on the pile itself but instead make a bit of a trail. :dunce:
 
Only 1 entry so far.. :(

I still plan to put something up, but I'll have to take a shot over the weekend, and it won't be on the scale of Casey's shot.
 
Personally, it's a difficult theme for me to get a shot of. I don't even have a fireplace.
 
I'm thinking candles but I'm just yet to get the opportunity for the shot I want.
 


Totally drunk on cheap rum, set fire to it, let it boil for a while, poured more on it, burned my coffee table.. split the shot glass... errrm boom.JPG

Nifty 50mm, f2.2, 0.6s, ISO-800
My coffee table, about 10 mins ago

I'm drunk.

I never knew GTPlanet had real photography competitions (as opposed to the Gran Turismo ones), here is a picture from my Flickr from last November (one of the first shots I took with my camera):
