  • DPNow Salon Competition No 66 Skies & the Landscape

    I'm a great fan of Landscape photos and find that often the sky can form a major part of the photograph. The sky can add much needed interest to an image that the land itself does not offer. So with this Salon I'm after a photograph that uses the sky in the best way as part of a Landscape shot. I'm happy for it to be a seascape shot as I see this as part of the genre of Landscape photography. However the key thing is that the sky has to be used in such a way as to enhance the image, and the picture which does this the best will win.

    So Salon No 66 is Skies & the Landscape

    The closing date for entries will be Thursday 2nd July and the winners will be announced on Friday 3rd July

    Oh and as always, here are the Rules:-

    1) All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/, they can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the Salon thread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixels wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

    2) One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

    3) Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as links to an image held somewhere else.)

    4) Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

    5) After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

    6) The curators decision is final.

    7) Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

    If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

    9) These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

    10) As with all photos posted on DPNow,copyright remains the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

    The Prize is the choice of either CF 8GB Ultimate or a SDHC 8GB Class 6 memory card.

    Thanks and have fun!
    Stephen

    Great theme!

    I was completely torn between two images that I've taken in the past couple of weeks. I picked the slightly 'surreal' image below, because even though it's not my favourite of the two, I think it fits the brief better than the other.

            Thank you.

            No need to worry though - there are lots of faults with it, as I'm sure Stephen will see when it comes to the judging. I've seen the standard of shots that you guys are posting in the salon competitions lately, and they're phenomenally high - so I'd bet money on the fact that you have far better shots than mine hanging around on your hard drives!

              Great Landscape. Here's my try - a seascape and an image that i think you will all agree is more to do with sky than sea, although the sea does show some interesting reflections and textures.

                Beautiful - I love the way that the clouds are reflecting as lines of light in the water.

                  Here is one I took at Bala Lake at the weekend. Spotted this and just grabbed the camera, no tripod. I love the colours from dark at the bottom to the light at the top.
