Lets get started! Make sure you have your cameras and creativity at the ready as here are the first three themes!.

UNIVERSAL THEME [this theme is for all 12 contestants to photograph]

Theme: Weather
Pretty simple universal theme for round one. We get different types of weather every day, maybe make it seem exciting or beautiful.

GROUP ONE [Arneldo, Bronaaaa, Dezzy, Jessica, LewisLeona & Patrick ONLY]

Theme: Halloween
Again pretty simple, Halloween is tommorow so it should give you a chance to get a nice shot. Also try and include nice lighting in your shot.

GROUP TWO [CaraRawr, GypsyGoth, MrGaryy, Nate & PJ ONLY]

Theme: Bonfire/Guy Fawkes Night
Another simple celebration theme, it's next Thursday so again you should get a chance to get a good photo. Also try and include nice lighting in your shot.

- Both entries MUST be in by Friday 6th November before 6:00PM.
- 'pm' them to me - 'Sam!' [photos can be sent in at different times]

--------------------------------------

Rules
- Photos may not be retrieved or copied from any source, if your photo looks suspicious then I will track the photo down and you will be kicked off.
- Entries cannot be in late, entries that I fail to recieve will result in ejection. Failure of both entries will result in immediate ejection & failure of giving
one entry in will recieve a warning and a chance of being eliminated.
- Photos can be existing, but you must have took it. We will prefer to see newly took photos however.
- It has to be a still image.
- You cannot show anyone your photo before I post them, we don't want any cheating.

Rules on editing
you can;
- Resize - all photos should be of a good side so I do not have to resize them.
- Crop
- Sharpen
- Make the photo B&W or FULLSEPIA. No mixture of the two.
you cannot;
- Use lighting effects
- Blur
- Enhance [change brightness/contrast]
- Use overlay/lighten/screen etc on any photo.
- Use texts or borders
- Use any other effects
I do make graphics so I can see when a photo has been edited.

Good luck and have fun with the themes! You have until 6:00PM on Friday 6th November to get both entries in. Any questions, just ask.
