Welcome to Round 1 of the TiBB Photography Competition 2011! This week the contestants were given the theme Joy - they had to take pictures of things that represented joy to them. Here is what they came up with!

Inspiration: I get joy from my cat, Katie. Plus, she seems to be pretty happy, most of the time it seems as if she is permanently smiling!

Inspiration: Ok so i got really stuck and i can't think of anything... So i took this. For me it does show Joy.. I dunno why but it makes me Happy! I think its because its an amazing sight and the end of the day and just so beautiful!

Jords

Inspiration: I think there's 2 types of joy that can be shown in pictures - physical (i.e. expression) and symbolic (i.e. something that brings joy). I opted for symbolic when I found it hard getting a good photo of my pup jumping up. Music brings me and a lot of people joy - either to enhance your mood or played at celebrations to have a dance or sing along. I made it clear that I wanted to show music as joyous by arranging the headphone wiring to write the word 'J-O-Y'

Inspiration: My dog being very joyful whilst getting ready for a night down at the pub

Inspiration: Yeah it's a bit lazy but I genuinely did take this photo last night LOL and it's got sparklers, it's a birthday celebration, my sister's laughing/smiling, and it was a really great night so I think it's a nice representation of 'joy'. I wouldn't say it's a technically amazing photo but still

Forum members voting = rank the photos this week in order of preference (eg. 1st = Favourite...5th = Least favourite)

edit: oh, it's changed LOL

[Pyramid*]

PM vote sent.

[Locke.]

I was going to do the same as Shaun, but the only person smiling in any of the pics took on thursday was myself, and someone else took that photo :bored:

Keep that in mind when you're voting people. Also, it took a lot of time and effort to get that shirt on my dog.

[Jords]

I didnt realise we could write an inspiration, can I do 1 now Mollie?

And nice photos guys :)

[Shaun]

yeah I didn't know whether or not to write anything, so just chanced it :p

[Jords]

Mollie's gone offline :suspect:

Edit: Thanks :D

[Maia]

Yep sorry I forgot to mention that before :laugh: I'll include a little field for you guys to fill out for round 2 with Name, Inspiration etc.

[Vicky.]

Eoin and Conor :bored:

[Adjacent]

jarroddaniel1, I quite think your photo is joyous! :)

[Kerry]

Voted. Hopefully correctly and in time!

[Jarrod]

jarroddaniel1, I quite think your photo is joyous! :)

Thanks you! :)

[Marc]

ROFL @ the first one originally being a sandwich.

[Pyramid*]

Whoa whoa whoa...... why has Adjacent been allowed to change their entry? I personally already voted on their sandwich photo.....and then they get to change the pic to something else whilst voting is still in play?

It's a complete waste of time.

[Adjacent]

Mollie incorrectly posted the sandwich placeholder/backup I had submitted. I took the cat photo and submitted it before the deadline. So all is good, I think? :P

*Waiting on Mollie to confirm*

Regardless: it's pointless if votes have been cast, some had -whether it was changed before the voting deadline or not.

Mollie: sorry pet, not wanting to offend you - I'm just saying.

[Maia]

People who voted on Adjacent's sandwich entry can change their vote if they want. He did change the entry before the deadline, I just didn't see it until after I posted the sandwich one :S

[Maia]

Voting now closed, thanks everyone. Results will be later tonight :)

[Jords]

When? :D

[Maia]

Sorry about the delay guys - I was planning to give the results at 6pm but it's been my mum's birthday day.

I'll reveal who's been eliminated this week now and then update the main thread with details of Round 2

[Jarrod]

Results? :O I'm dying to find out D:

[Maia]

Thank you judges and members for the votes this week, and thank you contestants for your photos.

After the vote, I can reveal that the photographer leaving the competition with 18 points this week is...

Adjacent

Congratulations to the other remaining contestants, and get ready for round 2 where there will be a few changes! The theme...(:wink:) will be posted in the main thread shortly.

[Jords]

Hard luck Adjacent.
