Lets see some leading lines
Cool topic. Being new to photography I had to spend some time in google making sure I knew exactly what you meant but now the juices are flowing.
Sweet, maybe I'll take part in this one if I get a chance to use my camera this weekend.
I have the perfect photo for this. Only problem I suppose is it was taken in January, hahahah.
Nice. I thought you deserved a couple bonus point for your shot not being natively digital.
I always get a kick out of the "I have the perfect photo for this!" posts. The whole point of this thing is to get off yer ass and go shoot! It's provided some good motivation for me to capture things I don't normally when I'm out shooting and that's a positive thing.
I have the perfect photo for this. Too bad I submitted it for the last contest! :D

^^ that is a good 'un. go reshoot with better lighting and center the ceiling tiles.
Ummm, have you been to my office? I don't think there's any such thing.....Quote:

I'll try one.

Good topic but it's probably gonna take some thought. In the past the contests have lasted two weeks, so we might want to extend it another week.
Didn't notice that.Quote:

Gonna be tough to avoid the things that are obvious. Might actually need two weeks to find something original enough. I have 3 candidates from my drive home from work, but others might easily find the same subject matter...
another vote for an extra week
What's your commute?Quote:

I can't edit the thread title for some reason? Anyway, it's been extended till the 9th, enjoy.
I just drive through Oxnard, I'll throw one up here, very common sight in this area...

:D Just the shot I was expecting. I work just up the road near Rincon and that shot was the first idea that popped into my head as well.Quote:

Runs almost perfectly straight and level for ~25 miles.

Killer photo! Could use some cropping, IMHO.Quote:

Nope - just need to be lines that lead the eye from one part of the frame to another. Here's another example: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/198/4...5333a0f9de.jpg
Tippster's correct. Funnily enough, my other idea for the MPC was going to be "S curves"...
Not eligible.

Exocetus spp. Ineligible by two days.
