Default Monthly Shooting Assignment, November and December 2007--Portals

Hi Folks,

We're back again with another session of the Monthly Shooting Assignment .

Our winner of the July and Aug session was Sly for the photo "Straw Hat" and so Sly will be picking the theme and doing the judging for the current session.

For any new readers, here's the basic idea of the MSA :

1. read the MSA assignment
2. take your photo according to the assignment guidelines
3. you can post your photo in the MSA Gallery : Click Here or,
4. you can host your photo elsewhere and link to it in this thread or,
5. you can post it right in the message here and it will show as a clickable thumbnail.
6. it's all for fun, there are no prizes, but at the end of the MSA, Sly will choose a "victim" to lead an MSA in a couple of months time.
7. if you have any questions, please email or PM me and I'll be happy to help.

So, without further delay, heeeeerrrrr's SLY !! Take it away Sly

cheers

What do you call a bunch of APUGers spread out here and there around the world? A film of photographers?

Welcome to the Nov-Dec 07 monthly shooting assignment. I have chosen "Portals" as the theme. In the Oxford Dictionary this is a "...door, gate, or entranceway..." I know you can all find lots of these, so get out there rain or shine. Let us see what you can do with the portals all around you. Have fun! Sly

Sly,

Nice one! Sounds interesting and as I like the subject I might actually pluck up the courage to give this one a go!

Maybe a moderator can add the word "Portals" to the thread title - to help whip up interest!

Good idea Matt - I'll inquire about it.

I like this theme too. I can think of all sorts of possibilities for this one.

cheers eh?

Great idea.

I like this one.

Will probably do a "realistic" one - but have to scratch the brain about something more "esoteric".

BTW: You did say "port-o-lets", didn't you?

This fits in nicely with what I'm doing right now, so I'll probably give it a go during one of the rare moments when I'm not cooking or in the darkroom....
