    i've always shot the moon and night sky at 4000K to keep images consistent, any colour difference is then down to the moon / conditions

    Last months challenge was interesting and it is time for a new one so how about using the rule of odds, where odd number of main elements give a image a sense of imballance, where the minds seeks out another element due to our need for ballance such as an even number of elements in a image.

    My mother had 4 birds on the wall till my brother killed one with a rubber band, she was really pissed off about it. I thought it was a good shot from across the room.

    Sorry for the delay, I have a lot going on IRL right now.
    Lets make a general rule if I don't post a monthly challenge in the first 24-48 hours of the month anyone can jump in and post that thread. No need to wait for me to re-post an idea one of you guys have. :)

    As craig is regularly active in this contest how do both of you, Johnsey and craig feel about letting Craig have the ability to post the new subject in the same way its been done as far,
    ie in its proper forum thread

    it would release you of some monthly work.

    Caladina I always have viewed the Forum as a small community that helps each other out, Jonnsey has put in place a 24 to 48 hour period for this to happen. I don't mind putting suggestions up and as a community, ideas for the challenge should also come from the members such as themes suggested by yourself. I believe the challenge helps bond the forum together I don't mind following up each month to ensure the challenges viability continues, If no suggustions have been put up I will alway put forward a suggestion but it still need the forums support.
