MPC # 6, Minimal. 10/5-10-10/19/2007

Thanks everyone. here is a gallery of other shots I took from this contest for anyone interested-- Stuff I wouldn't have shot if it wasn't for the contest. I really enjoyed going out and taking shots for this theme. (I'm recusing myself from further contests. I like taking pictures but don't like being voted on. I'll just go out and take pictures and contribute to the new contests)
Rules for the new contest are,
1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.

2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.

3. The contest moderator will choose 5 of the photos to put in a poll for the mags to vote on and decide the winner.

4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way not an option)

5. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
This contest's theme is Minimal.
I'm thinking of powerful shots that minimize what's present on the picture.

Here are a few older examples that I think fit the theme.

If you mean minimal clothing, I think this thread could get a lot of views.

Nice Wong. Where were your shots taken? Glad you enjoyed the topic, I agree "abandoned" spots are fun to shoot and that's why I choose the topic. I guess the tricky part is making the "junk" interesting.

Cool pictures SW. I would have voted for the one of the red driver's seat.

It was in Salt lake city, about 6000 south and state. I had seen the building riding trax and wanted to get into it, but it had been habitated by some feral dogs who scared me away. It was my original idea to shoot it but instead found the bus and other stuff just down the train tracks from the building.

Dang. I was a day early taking this pic I guess, but I like it, and it seems pretty minimal to me, and I'm going to share it.

Not sure if pics are any good, but technically they're the side of someone's house so I guess they qualify.

Pura Vida, nice use of rule of thirds. I like the contrast, too.

Bawheed, I love the colors! Did you use Photoshop on it, or were the colors that vibrant to begin with?

It went through Photoshop sure enough, but it matches the slide. Check out the Seattle Library if you haven't already.

Not sure if these qualify as "minimal", but I'll play anyway.
