  • eGroup Easter fun challenge...

    Hi Folks

    eGroup Easter fun challenge

    OK, time to let you know of a last-minute eGroup Easter fun challenge - nothing too serious, just some fun for today (Easter Sunday) and tomorrow (Easter Monday). There's a few little token prizes available - courtesy of Ian:
    • Limited Edition Black OM1 miniature
    • Olympus Cap

    The winner can choose. Here's the challenge.

    So that as many people can enter as possible (and it's only fun after all) you need to submit at least 1 image from Category 1, at least 1 image from Category 2, but you MUST submit your entry from Category 3.

    Category 1
    • Helping hand
    • A memory from your childhood
    • Practice makes perfect
    • Portrait of someone
    • Yellow

    Category 2
    • Easter Eggs
    • A view from below
    • Seven
    • Tidiness
    • Early bird

    Category 3
    • Reprocess this image from the RAw file in whatever way you want (the RAW is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3113664/models.ORF ). Inspired for this category by Chevvyf1's post yesterday asking about editing others images. Here's everyone's chance to have a bash




    In the event of a tie-break, there's a cryptic question for you: did you spot it, if so, prove it! (In a PM to me of course, not in your post here which would, or course, give it away!)

    I have asked Ian to be the judge, you have today and tomorrow to get your submissions in (by 19:00, Mon 9th April). Post them in this thread as:

    Category 1: Image title
    Category 2: Image title
    Category 3: Image title
    Tie-break answer

    ... and you're done.

    Off you go.... good luck, and remember, have fun!

      OK....I suppose somebody has to go first!

      Category 1 - Portrait



      Category 2 - A view from below



      Category 3 - Models



      As for the tie-break? I give up!

      I'm sure I could find better if I tried, but it's a busy weekend for me and if I don't do it now, I never will!

      Janet

      Edited to add...is the tie-break the deliberate mistake about the Easter Challenge?

                Haven't had time to do any photo work, but could sell a tie-break to anyone interested Or swap for a 300/2.8 maybe.

                Ciao .... John

                  I got the answer at 4.00 this morning! It came to me in my sleep...!! I actually got it as soon as I read the thread yesterday, but dismissed it thinking it was ME who was being dim and missing something!

                  Trouble is, I had to wait until now to send my PM as my broadband has been down since the early hours.

                  Looking forward to seeing some more entries throughout the day. We should have more fun competitions like this.

                        It's good fun, isn't it!

                        By the way, I think I've finally got the tie-break - I was wrong the first time! John deserves a good slap for his deliberate mistake!

                        I'm more bothered about the tie-break question than anything else - it's been driving me do-lally!

                          I think I've got the tie-break - but I can't find the deliberate mistake you keep mentioning!! You had me on the wrong track for hours
