Theme 1: Technology
http://i53.tinypic.com/205xysw.jpg

Inspiration: I was looking through my DVD's and i had my iPod on and i thought about the Technology Theme! CD's and DVD'S Are Tech, And so is the iPod lead ect.

Theme 2: Summer
http://i54.tinypic.com/bdwabp.jpg

Name: Distant Sunset
Inspiration: I was down a beach near me and it was Sunset. It was Summer and i just couldn't resist. The Sun is just so amazing. It's Summer. It's Warm. It's Colourful!

Theme 1: Technology
http://i54.tinypic.com/ehcigw.png

Inspiration: Vehicles rely highly on technology - be it for the manufacture of the parts or for the actual systems in them. We live near a hidden scrap yard and when nobody was around I snuck in and came across this old broken tractor which I thought fitted the theme perfectly! I made the photo sepia to help give the tractor an aging rusty character.

Theme 2: Summer
http://i51.tinypic.com/iwoe12.png

Inspiration: First things that jump to mind when I think of summer are blue skies and a sandy beach. However not living close to the coast I had to think more about the theme and the environment around me. Then it hit me, loads of wheat/barley fields are grown in summer! I managed to capture the bright blue sky to help scream summer and the different heights, widths and depth of the individual wheat/barley in the photo make it more interesting.

Theme 1: Technology
http://i51.tinypic.com/33nu6tz.png

Name: Disc-uss. (cringe)
Inspiration: Well I think the refraction of light or whatever on earth the technical term for it is, on the reverse of a CD, makes for a pleasant burst of colour so I decided to seek that out.

Theme 2: Summer
http://i55.tinypic.com/10ihqmw.png

Name: My view
Inspiration: It's the view from my front door :) I thankfully got a burst of summer yesterday :p

Here is how all 4 judges scored the photos this week

CharlieO
jarroddaniel1
Technology Photo - 12/20
Summer Photo - 13/20

Jords
Technology Photo - 17/20
Summer Photo - 15/20

Shaun
Technology Photo - 11/20
Summer Photo - 17/20

Niamh
jarroddaniel1
Technology Photo - 14/20
Summer Photo - 14/20

I liked the colours in his technology picture. I would have scored his summer picture higher if there wasn't half a person at the side of it, I find myself looking at him instead of the sun :joker:

Jords
Technology Photo - 18/20
Summer Photo - 19/20

I absolutely love both of Jords photos this week, I think picking an old tractor for technology was a different way to go, to show how we've progressed, I love that it's sepia as well, it adds to the charm of the picture. The second picture just screams summer to me and the quality of the picture is excellent.

Shaun
Technology Photo - 16/20
Summer Photo - 17/20

His first picture was original and inventive. His second picture I really liked, looks like somewhere I'd like to visit, he's captured the summer warmth in the picture I think!

Patrick
jarroddaniel1
Technology Photo - 10/20

Jords

Jords

Meaning the judges scoreboard this week is

1. Jords (136 points)
2. Shaun (117 points)
3. jarroddaniel1 (104 points)

However, bare in mind the judges scores are only 50% of the final vote.
