September Photo Competition: September

[Desbo]

In an attempt to get you lot out there taking photos specifically for the competition, this months theme is September.

This can be the word September, Sept, the number 09, no matter how big or small, or even a nice S shape - so you'll have to be creative to keep the pics different. So that this isn't too restrictive, anything that reminds you of September will do, but try to take it this month!


The rules, as usual:

* Up to 3 pictures allowed per person.
* Post up the link, not the picture.
* All entries must be in by the last day of September.
* 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 of April and ends on 3rd of April 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.

Go on then - what are you waiting for? Get out there, and good luck!

My initial idea was to photograph school boys and etonians but I don't think that is such a good idea

 

[hiccup]

Am happy to do the thumbs, unless anyone else particularly wants to do them. . .

Did you know...

September in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent to March in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.

World War II began on September 1, 1939 following Hitler's invasion of Poland and ended on the same month, September 2, 1945 with the Japanese surrender.

September begins on the same day of the week as December every year.

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Hmm, unexpected theme. I suspect autumnal images most capture the essence of September. As others have said we're not currently living in the right era to photograph kids going back to school.

What does September make me think of? My birthday, terrorism and a rubbish Woody Allen film. Think I'll go to the park and snap some leaves....

I was going to photograph girls from private schools in kilts, but I came to the same conclusion.

Great, I am glad the title is September, I have loads of pictures that were taken in September over the past few years. It will save me having to go out and take any more.

(Digs out old dust covered negatives and blows on them)

I live down the road from Eton. You'd probably be able to do it, mainly because Eton gets so many tourists that I think the boys get pretty used to getting their photo taken.

Only problem is obviously consent of a minor, plus being at Eton means their mummy/daddy are pretty rich/powerful/posh so probably not the kind of people to end up in a legal tussle with.

Home.

Is there some Wisteria there?

 

[Herbsman.]

Not in the UK and France it didn't...

I was just quoting Wikipedia, personally I know very little about world wars

What's with the letter 'S' everywhere? Apart from it being the first letter in September, what significance does it have?

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Home.

Is there some Wisteria there?

Yep, that's a Wisteria Floribunda 'Issai' devouring the right hand side of the arch (and a slightly manky Madame Caroline Testout on the left)

Nother pic of it here (not an entry, nothing particularly Septembery about it.)
