Consider this a bit more open but challenging at the same time...

A composition of odd numbered elements...
Odd one out...
Against all odds...
That was odd...
What were the odds...

a bit different and I'm sure you can find something odd because of Halloween. ;)

Great job man, love the shot and awesome pick for the theme!
Quote Hwulex 6th November 2008, 22:41
Many congrats, is a great shot. Nice for me to be snapping again as well, and even better sneaking on to the third step of the podium. Trying to think ahead to this month's theme now as enjoying shooting again.
Quote Blademrk 7th November 2008, 10:32
I've got a couple of ideas for this theme, just got to see if I can find some time to get out and shoot them.

Is there a problem with the PotM site? I've just tried to log in to upload a photo and it's not letting me in. Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me?

It's getting a bit late on in the month for it to be broke, no-one has been able to upload an entry yet. :(

Who's in charge of maintaining it?

Dan

I'll poke Nath to fix.
Quote DeMoB 18th November 2008, 22:15
Thanks :)

Quote Nath 20th November 2008, 13:49
Waah okay, will take a look at it later today. Do not panic.
Quote Bindibadgi 25th November 2008, 10:49
Are you all done? I'm going to open the voting in the next few hours...

EDIT: Only 4 entries uploaded this month...
Quote whisperwolf 25th November 2008, 11:09
there's more entries in the threads, i think with the long time of not being able to log into the the POTM site some people have forgotten
Quote bentleya 25th November 2008, 18:54
i have made a thread in this forum, but the site wound;'t let me add it to it
Quote Bindibadgi 25th November 2008, 19:05
It should all be working now, I'm assured.

I'll give everyone until tomorrow morning.
Quote bentleya 25th November 2008, 19:46

Quote Bindibadgi 26th November 2008, 08:33
Voting Open.
Quote Bindibadgi 1st December 2008, 08:47
Alright I'm a little late in closing this month, sorry :o

Also - no POTM for December because we're running other competitions later this month which need organising and I'd really like *some* Christmas :p
Quote Blademrk 2nd December 2008, 15:48
How about just extending the deadline to 25th Jan, gives 2 months over Christmas to get some ideas?

Edit: Congratulations to this months winner.
Quote mr_carl 2nd December 2008, 16:04

Quote DeMoB 3rd December 2008, 00:08
We should totally do an unofficial one (or like someone else suggested; have it running till end of Jan).

Dan
Quote lcdguy 3rd December 2008, 16:23
that would be cool. but how would we decide on a theme.
Quote DeMoB 3rd December 2008, 16:25
Make a new thread with a poll with about 4 different options and leave it open a couple of days for people to vote for their favourite.

Or seen as though it's winter/christmas time, have a theme based around that.

Dan
Quote lcdguy 3rd December 2008, 16:27
maybe a theme for winter holidays so it's open to your own interpretation of what you do at the holidays or what this time of year is about.
Quote -equilerex- 9th December 2008, 15:36
sounds pretty much perfect...

perhaps also a joint thread to keep track of everything so the ppl normally in charge of the potm wouldnt have to do anything...
Quote DeMoB 9th December 2008, 15:46
I'll make one :P

Dan
Quote Nath 10th December 2008, 20:35
The PotM site requires pretty much no effort to run, so if you want to use it for the unofficial competition then by all means go for it. :)
Quote DeMoB 10th December 2008, 21:16
If you wouldn't mind, that'd be great thanks :)

Now we'll just have to see if anyone takes up the challange of the unofficial POTM!

Dan
Quote -equilerex- 11th December 2008, 15:59
ofcourse they will... but probably in the end of the month... when the real christmas spirit comes up ^^
