April Photo Challenge - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

BookStop · 2nd April 2010, 08:06 AM

Thanks again to those who voted for me, and also to Taly for letting me have a go as this month's theme-meister even though we tied

Earth Day

April 22 is Earth Day, the perfect time of year to reflect on the environment. This can include anything from wildlife, to green technologies, to recycling, or even destruction, pollution, etc.

As usual, these rules apply:

- Only two photos per person
- Please don't use photos that you're already posted around the site
- Voting usually starts around the 27th
- Anyone can vote, even those that didn't enter a photo.

Great theme, BS!

Talysia · 2nd April 2010, 10:47 AM

I really like this theme, BookStop - I've got a lot of ideas already! Something tells me this contest is going to be a good one.

(Oddly enough, the theme I'd had in mind was going to be "green", including the environmental side, so this works out rather well!

)

AE35Unit · 2nd April 2010, 01:12 PM

Good theme!
How about something like this?

AE35Unit · 2nd April 2010, 01:15 PM

Or something like this, taken with an old phone (I like to show the creatures in our environment-puts things in perspective)

Great minds think alike

AE - Love the first pic. That little guy is fuzzy, lol!

Ooh... I've just come back from a wander (as the sun was actually shining!) and took some pics to test my new camera. This one kinda fits:

GOLLUM · 2nd April 2010, 03:52 PM

Well done to Bookstop! Sehr gut!

A timely theme for this month I would say...

Rosemary · 2nd April 2010, 04:40 PM

Good pictures on this months theme already. Well done Mouse and AE

Talysia · 9th April 2010, 04:42 PM

Ok, it's taken a while to get the picture right, but here is my first entry:

It's not exactly my usual type of picture, but I thought it summed up the theme quite well - the small things that people can do to help the environment, like planting a seed.

Great pictures already, Mouse and AE!

Mouse · 9th April 2010, 05:13 PM

Ooh nice, Talysia. I didn't even think about taking any pics of my seedlings. And I've got enough of them!

Culhwch · 18th April 2010, 09:02 AM

Swear I didn't steal this idea from Taly...

Talysia · 18th April 2010, 02:37 PM

Wow - yours are much better, though, Cul!

Here's my second entry, taken this afternoon. A wildlife shot from me this time.

Kind of you to say!

BookStop · 19th April 2010, 06:17 AM

Cripes, Cul - those are fantastic!

Here's my first entry o' the month - I went out toward our closest windmill to get a photo of the sunset, but my camera died while i was dorking around with the sun still up. Couldn't look at it precisely because, you know, sun and all, so I didn't realize until I loaded on the pc that the sun was perfectly behind this windmill - looks kind of like a candle, huh?
