Point and Shoot Competition #117 - Geometry

**savoche** · 09-18-2017, 10:44 AM - **3 Likes**

Looking for a theme that is fairly open I think "geometry" should put few limits on what to enter in #117. I like hunting for shapes and lines when I shoot and hope to see some different angles (hah!) from what I would end up with.

Rule no. 1 should always be to have fun!

2. Cameras:

No cameras with sensors larger than 1".
No large format or camera typically requiring a tripod to use.
No interchangeable lens cameras.
No 35mm (D)SLRs or any camera weighing over 1kg.

Cameras permitted (cameras listed as acceptable here supersede rules above):
Mobile phones, old and new, iPods, tablets, toy cameras.
Fixed-lens 35mm and smaller-format film and digital cameras (Fuji X100 and GR OK).
Interchangeable or fixed-lens 110film SLRs and Pentax Q.

ANY CAMERA BRAND ALLOWED.

3. Entries will close October 15, 2017 at Midnight (GMT).

4. Maximum image dimensions are 1024x768 (ish) pixels.

5. List camera brand and model with entry for all to see, and exposure data would be nice.

6. No restrictions on when the entries were taken.

7. Contest winner determines the rules, selects theme, sets closing date and judges the next competition.

8. Enter up to three images, however you may change your entries as many times as you like up to the contest closing date/time.

Great start! I pass by that footbridge every day on my way to work

Great subject, I love shapes and lines.

3) The Royal Greenhouse in Brussels (Belgium), open for public once a year.

Nice! That greenhouse is an impressive piece of classical architecture.

Edit:

And there it was all bricked up! Wonderful shot!

Yes that Royal Greenhouse was a wonderful place to visit, but at the time I had a digital kodac (my first digital camera) and the photos I took weren't of a high resolution and I didn't know a lot about saving the originals

I saved it at a too small resolution and enlarging it made it not sharp enough. For all who don't know what we're talking about here a small version. They're only open for public 3 weeks in Spring. Need to go back and take better shots.

Nice subject touches us now ...

.- The first corresponds to the Cloister Mudejar Monastery of the Cartuja in Seville, I liked to "play" with the distortion of the angle on the columns ...

And yet more! I'm not looking forward to ranking these

Then again, there will be no undeserving winner.
