Come on! You must vote, then.

The competition needs more people participating (even if that means just voting). ;)
 
I'd participate if I had any photos relevant to the theme.
 
I don't have anything recent, apart from this whilst I was heading to the beach last week. Probably final.

Christmas

"Lights, trees, santas, gifts, food, decorations, street illuminations... Anything related."

Just a couple of days left for this round, closing December 31st.
 
About the lack of participation, I wonder if it is the theme or the time of the year.

I, too, was hoping to post something up, but it turned out to be impossible.
 
For me it was the theme :O. I am a bit cynical about the Xmas period so wasn't inclined to capture it....
 
Was the theme
 
I took a few snaps of our sorry excuse for a christmas tree before I gave up and took to the street, but after a few blocks I realized nobody in our neighborhood really does much with lights and decorations so I didn't really get anything worth posting.

I am too, to be honest - not even a Christmas tree in our house.

Still, I thought all the lights and decorations would make for some nice subjects.

Sorry, guys. :dopey:

@Solo So if I submit a photo and nobody else does do I automatically win and get to pick the next theme? :sly:

Question for you mate; approximately what f-stop what the above at?

You've got enough DOF to have the subject in focus but a large enough aperture to soften things quickly.

Tss, tss... By now you should know that all my lenses are stuck at wide open, mate. :D


EDIT:

To complete my answer, I think that the resizing of the image (and its small size) is what makes it look like there's "enough DOF to have the subject in focus".

Now to start 2015 @35mm has chosen an open theme for week 62. You've until January 14th to get your entries in.
 
Just the theme we need to get some more entries and the theme I would have chosen in the rare event of me actually winning!
 
Maybe I can start a trend of out of focus shots...

This picture was taken inside the "denkmall"a memorial for the holocaust in Berlin it is made of concrete blocks all of different height. I wanted to try focusstacking in a different way.
I used the first picture to focus on the raindrops in the fore ground than I made a second picture focusing on my girlfriend who wore a red coat which gave an amazing contrast in colours.

edit: Pic is now 700px wide

@GTP_Dutchy great shot, but if you could resize it to 700px on the longest side I'll be able to put it in the poll more easily. Thanks.
 
will do

Only thing I have shot for the last few weeks was something for the paper. The blistering 3cyl N/A Mitsubishi Mirage sedan with a CVT auto. Was a handful for sure.​
