Here's the rules I nabbed off last month's comp

* Up to 3 pictures allowed per person.
* Post up the link, not the picture.
* All entries must be in by the last day of January.
* Only use pictures you photographed yourself.
* If you edit the picture then tell us what you did.
* Please don’t change pictures once you have entered them.
* Voting starts on 1st Febuary and ends on 3rd Febuary 2006. Anyone can vote, you don't have to have entered. Vote for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd favourites. 1st choice is worth 3 points, 2nd 2 points and 3rd 1 point -- the entry with the most points wins and chooses the next theme.
* You can use your own web space, photo.net, photobucket.com or pbase.com to host your pictures for free - or any others you choose or see fit to use.


ok good luck everyone

I'll certainly have to dig out some of my New Orleans shots for this one. The first photo I entered in these competitions was a Technics stylus for 'spin':

But that's not an entry as I've not ever allowed myself to enter the same photo twice...

I was thinking, in order to win these comps, maybe its best not to enter first, because people will forget your pictures! And if you enter in the middle, yours will get lost amongst everyone else's. So I'm gonna enter my next two at the last minute.

Maybe I shouldn't have divulged my plan!!!

[Tank Girl]

I don't look at the pictures until the comp's closed. I wait until all the thumbnails are up, and have paper and pen next to me.

here's my first entry

watching

[5T3R30TYP3]

I mostly just look at the thumbs but I don't wait til the end of the comp. I wonder if I might be more likely to vote for a picture I've seen before... don't really matter I suppose, it's all good fun.

I don't think there's any correlation between when you enter and votes, but it does matter a lot how your image looks as a thumbnail. With the number of entries now surpassing a hundred people obviously make decisions about which pictures to study based on the thumbnails alone, which means subtle details can easily be overlooked.

[Tank Girl]

I click on every thumbnail, that's why sometimes I don't get round to voting, because I don't have the time to give everyone a good look.

First entry: Spinning

It's an oldish photo, but seems to fit the theme well

[Iemanja]

The effect music has on people @ Christmas Offline:

Some people love Come on Aileen, some people hate it!

[alef]

This collection captures various urbanites enjoying music. Although I'm not sure any single picture is strong enough on its own, except the last one, but that doesn't fit with the theme. Taken in Brixton last Spring:

Hilltop music

My fist entry is a bit of fun

Homage to 'O'

Slight rotation to compensate for lean of tripod / ironing board, square crop to make it album cover shape and slight tweak of levels.
