Chat Thread W/E Comp 24th-26th August 2012 - A Star
On Behalf of DigiDiva

To celebrate my recent A* in my GCSE, I thought the theme should be to take a photo that contained A Star. This can be one or more stars, multiple stars etc. I am looking for actual stars or star shapes. For example the starburst from a long shutter speed, food thats star shaped etc.

Please note that pictures MUST be taken between the competition being announced and the Midnight Sunday close date

Rules can be found HERE

The entry thread is HERE

Thats great then - night photography, longer shutter speed gives an amazing star burst around a light, which suits the theme fine. Theres food and fruit tht are star shaped too, star fish, flowers etc.

I was going to go for food photography, i.e. a picture of food that would look good on a menu or in a kitchen/restaurant but after todays A* I couldn't resist a star theme lol

Ok, I'm happy I can go for fruit, flowers and others. They predict rain and clouds all weekend long.

At the end of the day if you think it fits theme thats what counts then its up to the voters.
