It's coming to that time of year again where I have to start scratching my head to think up themes for next years Photograph competition.

I've got a few ideas in mind but this year I thought I'd throw it open to the member to suggest some themes they might like to see.

No prizes if I use them apart from acknowledgement for it if I do :)

So come on then is there any theme you'd like to see in next year competition?

Apologies if you've done some/all of these:

Subjects such as: 'Bushcraft portrait', 'Smoke', 'Fire', Weather ....
Concepts such as 'out of bounds', 'comfort', 'safe', 'danger', 'at the limit', 'many', 'few', 'large', 'small', 'lonely', 'crowded' ....

Behind you !!

this would be a two photo set to make one entry......

the first photo is as normal, a stunning view, a piece of architecture, a babbling stream..........but what is behind the photographer ?..... turn around and take another snap of what ever is behind you......car park, shopping centre, public dump, bus stop etc........get the idea ?

the winner would be the two photos with the biggest difference.......for example, the valleys of Myther Tydville ( sorry for the spelling ) taken from the heights of the Asda car park and loading bay.

Biggest puzzle for me was to photograph the wind.
A slow shutter speed never looked good enough.
Next would be reflections of nature in any surface, even a window.

Robbi must have been with me in my old landscape décor B&W days.
4x5 view camera on a rail, dark cloth and all.
Get all set up for a scene and then turn around!
Often something better! How did you know?
