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

[Shepherd Wong]

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.




Go out and interpret it for yourself!

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

I might have something to offer to this thread if Mrs. Faster lets me. Its even ski related.

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

Everybody would get a happy feeling in there pants.

Being daft I didn't even realize the potential for nuditiy here, but I'm DOWN!

Excellent topic.

[Pura Vida]

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.

Really cool shots SW, what lens did you get those with? Im diggin the fisheye.

Back to the drawing board

I'm thinking my next pic is going to involve SOUR GRAPES , so you had better not take that idea.

[HotDiggity]

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