Please note: the aim of this is to get people out and to use their cameras in different ways to what they might normally do so, to achieve this the rules state that the photograph must be taken in the month of the competition and relate to the theme in some way.

 Each month a different thread will be created and at the end of the month a poll will be added including all entries that are deemed valid. Non valid entries will be automatically excluded. The named winner then copies over the text of this post and replaces the theme with one of their choice.

Include a description of a few words as to why you feel your picture fills the theme.

Once the thread has been started peoples entries have to be posted in that thread. Each entrant is only allowed ONE POST in the thread to cover ONE IMAGE that he has entered. The last image posted is the one that will be used, all others will be removed when a Mod/admin can be arsed...

Deadline for all entries will be the 28th of the month that it starts on, leaving a few days then for Voting to take place and the winner to be declared.

I suggest that the winner picks the next theme by the 1st of the next month, so 2 days of voting start on the 28th by the 1st the winner will post another thread following the format as mentioned above, replacing the THEME with his/her chosen theme.

Those are the rules for entry - C&Pd from M3TAHEADs post.

Entry is now open for September 06.

Deadline Midnight of September 28th.

Post your entries below.

Well have the theme of Electrics/Electronics. I thought as were mostly nerds here it was appropriate.

Specifics: Generally it gunna be objects/macro shots, the only rule really is that it must have electricity running through it (although you can photograph it switched off if its likely to be dangerous otherwise, we dont want any of our members fried - Serious) (technically it could be power lines/phone lines/satalites. Or simply a PC, component, a phone, a camera, a tv.. you get the picture). the more creative the better!

(sorry if you think its a crap theme but I couldnt reallythink of a decent one lol).




Good luck.

Dating data will be needed too so be careful to preserve this if possible. exif is data that is inserted into photographs by digital cameras

If your picture is regarded as too big it may be edited to just a link by a Moderator, there is no upper limit on picture size.

Right well my original idea fell through, wanted to have a play with a Vandigraph generator from the science dept.  So instead I went out tonight and took some pictures.  And heres my entry, just to give Punk some competition
