Photo of the Month - September 2017 - Entries

Post by Voyager One »

New theme!

Theme:
"ART"
... set by the last month's winners JamieLei and Transportman.


As always, rules can be found HERE.

How to enter:
Easy - simply upload your image to this topic to enter or link it from a trusted site such as flickr, photobucket, DeviantArt, your personal website etc.
Uploading is preferred as it keeps things together. If you're linking from a URL, having a small 'preview' image and a link to a high-res image would be helpful.
If uploading direct to the wiki:
Let's keep entries in a certain named format for organisation reasons as well as keeping record of them in the entries topic and here. If you prefer to upload to the wiki, please keep it in the same naming format as other entries and inform me they are already on the wiki. Name format is - month|year|POTM_user name.
For example: 0917POTM_Dave.jpg / 0917POTM_orudge.jpg / 0917POTM_GeoGhost.jpg / 0917POTM_Ameecher.jpg
You get the idea ;)

At the end of the month, this topic will close and a voting topic will be started with all the entries in for people to choose their top one.
All entries will be uploaded to the tt-forums wiki and stored there for voting and also for archive.
Entries close on the last day of the month, voting will be available for 7 days (approximately).
The winner will need to contact me about what they want the next theme to be and then that will be posted in the entry topic for the next month*. Then we repeat from there. Simple.
(* If the winner doesn't choose a theme within 7 days, the next month's theme will be an "Open" theme).

If you wish to change your entry, you may so long as the entries are still open. Simply upload a new one to the topic and remove your old one.
Otherwise, it may get confusing as to which one you are entering. If there are two entries submitted and you have not informed me which one you wish to be used, I will use the first one posted.

Cheers people!
Leon

I guess I'll get the ball rolling this month.

Street art adorns the arches of the Berlin Stadtbahn, as an ICE goes rolling overhead.

"ART" AKA "appropriating someone else's art without attributing the original artist"

*Yawn* Do you have to moan about everything? :roll: The art in my picture for example, is in a public space, and therefore in the public domain. If I knew who to credit, I would happily do so, however, no name is given next to the street art.

Anyway, to keep Moany McMoanyface over here happy, thanks for my picture go to the State of Berlin, Deutsche Bahn for the train and railway, Siemens for building the train, Volkswagen for buidling the car in the image, and the street artists of Berlin for their work.

As I see this theme "Art" could be you making an artistic photo of something "normal" or making a photo of some kind of art in it or a combination of the two types of "art" or anything else related to art... So what's the problem with Pilot's picture?

I'll go with this type of "art"... :mrgreen:

Given the currently small number of entries, I suggest to extend to next month.

Maybe there's a reason for the lack of entries: I think this is a hard topic. Or maybe not, but I know I don't have any applicable pictures.

I don't think is a hard topic, almost anything can be considered as a form of art.

I also don't think it is a hard topic, and a lot of stuff can be considered "art". Architecture, sculptures, street art, graffiti, I think there are a lot of possibilities.

Does this really fit with Rule 1? Doesn't really seem transport related.

I agree with Pilot, not transport related. Please select another entry mate.

Thanks! I was sweating it on whether I'd be able to come up with anything that qualifies. :shock:
