The Making of "Frame within a Frame"
How the winning photo of the "Frame within a Frame" contest was made
By henrikpedersen33 in Photo Contests on Mar 13, 2024
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who voted for my photo in December's photo competition: "Frame within a frame". It is truly an honour to have made it this far - first to be among the 15 nominees and finally to get enough votes to make it to the top. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And a little about the image:
I didn't go out with an idea for an image that month and start shooting, but looked through old photos to see if there was one I could use. And then the image appeared. A picture that I thought I could probably use.

Announcing Our February, 2024 Photo Contest
Win a gift card and other prizes in our monthly photo contest
By PF Staff in Photo Contests on Feb 1, 2024
We're herewith announcing our monthly photo contest for February. The theme for this month is Series of Three.
This month we want to see three related photos, copied into and submitted as one jpg image. The three photos must tell a story or be related in some way. They must as usual be shot with a Pentax or Ricoh camera, but the three photos need not be shot with the same camera and lens in which case you just enter the brand names in the designated fields when submitting. We recommend that you use the story or relationship as the thread title of the submitted image. Below we show a couple of examples of stories. Good luck!
"Motion"
"Railroad Nostalgia"
First prize is a $50 gift card to B&H Photo, second prize is a one year forum account upgrade, and third prize is a box of photo paper form Red River.
The official contest rules are found here.
