Come on! You must vote, then.

The competition needs more people participating (even if that means just voting).

I'd participate if I had any photos relevant to the theme.

I don't have anything recent, apart from this whilst I was heading to the beach last week. Probably final.

The week 61 theme is now live; as chosen by @35mm.

Christmas

"Lights, trees, santas, gifts, food, decorations, street illuminations... Anything related."

 

[Solo]

Just a couple of days left for this round, closing December 31st.

 

[35mm]

About the lack of participation, I wonder if it is the theme or the time of the year.

I, too, was hoping to post something up, but it turned out to be impossible.

 

[Mike Rotch]

For me it was the theme . I am a bit cynical about the Xmas period so wasn't inclined to capture it....

 

[Cale]

Was the theme

 

[nobuffalo]

I took a few snaps of our sorry excuse for a christmas tree before I gave up and took to the street, but after a few blocks I realized nobody in our neighborhood really does much with lights and decorations so I didn't really get anything worth posting.

I am too, to be honest - not even a Christmas tree in our house.

Still, I thought all the lights and decorations would make for some nice subjects.

Sorry, guys.

@Solo So if I submit a photo and nobody else does do I automatically win and get to pick the next theme?

Question for you mate; approximately what f-stop what the above at?

You've got enough DOF to have the subject in focus but a large enough aperture to soften things quickly.

 

[35mm]

Question for you mate; approximately what f-stop what the above at?

Tss, tss... By now you should know that all my lenses are stuck at wide open, mate.


EDIT:

To complete my answer, I think that the resizing of the image (and its small size) is what makes it look like there's "enough DOF to have the subject in focus".

 

[Solo]

Now to start 2015 @35mm has chosen an open theme for week 62. You've until January 14th to get your entries in.

 

[nobuffalo]

Just the theme we need to get some more entries and the theme I would have chosen in the rare event of me actually winning!

 

[nobuffalo]

Maybe I can start a trend of out of focus shots...

This picture was taken inside the "denkmall"a memorial for the holocaust in Berlin it is made of concrete blocks all of different height. I wanted to try focusstacking in a different way.
I used the first picture to focus on the raindrops in the fore ground than I made a second picture focusing on my girlfriend who wore a red coat which gave an amazing contrast in colours.

edit: Pic is now 700px wide

​

 

[Solo]

@GTP_Dutchy great shot, but if you could resize it to 700px on the longest side I'll be able to put it in the poll more easily. Thanks.

 

[GTP_Dutchy]

will do
edit: Done

Only thing I have shot for the last few weeks was something for the paper. The blistering 3cyl N/A Mitsubishi Mirage sedan with a CVT auto. Was a handful for sure.​
