Runoff! Circle Photo Contest- Feb. 2008

Circle Photo Contest:

The contest for this month will be for the "Best Circle Photo." Please stretch a little here and use your imagination! There are circles everywhere we look. Let's see who can win the best circle photo of the month.

The winner receives a "circle"ular new white balance tool called The Color Parrot, or a Lifetime Membership to Pro Photo Home. They will also be awarded 1000 reputation points. I have no idea what you can do with reputation points yet, but hey, sounds fun. Maybe someone will let me know. Hey, 1000 has three circles in it too. It's already starting. I'm seeing circles everywhere...


This contest is open to any type or field of Photography. From photojournalism to event and wedding.

Please just upload photos with any personal comments to the gallery. Please do not reply with comments on the images until the contest is closed.

Submissions will be open for Two Weeks starting today. All registered full members may participate.

After submissions are complete, a poll will be added to the thread. All members may vote for their favorite image. Voting will stay open for 1 WEEK.

Please only post one image per contest per month. Existing winners may continue to post each month. In the event of a tie there will be a runoff vote to determine the winner.


Images may include Photoshop work.

For jpeg attachments max size is approximately 200k. Max Width and Height are 800 pixels. However, I do believe it will resize the image automatically if it falls outside of the width and height range.

#1

Light trace of a swinging flash light over several minutes. It was weighted and hung from a string and simply pulled back from the center and let go. Because of how the Earth spins, the flashlight doesn't go back and forth in a line, it makes an arc, that produces a spiral over time. The circle was created in the same exposure, by capturing the flashlight and swinging it so it would produce a circle. B/w color filers (like a Red 25, and Cyan) were placed over the lens and swapped out periodically to produce the colors.

Christmas lights reflected in the face of the Grandfather clock I built oh so many years ago.

I can't vote in the runoff, it says that I have already voted?
