Point and Shoot Competition #125 - Almost Anything Goes

**Jacquot** · 07-05-2018, 09:20 AM - **1 Like**

I want to open this up a bit, almost anything goes. We are in many places and seasons. I'd like the photographs to reflect where you are during this month: home, work, neighborhoods, maybe on vacation or just a place you visited. It could be a detail, landscape or anything in between, abstract, people, buildings... Include some idea of the context for the shot.

1. Always have fun!

2. Cameras:

No cameras with sensors larger than 1" (some exceptions below).
No large format or camera typically requiring a tripod to use.
No interchangeable lens cameras (some exceptions below).
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 July 31, 2018 midnight in your time zone.

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. Entries should be taken this month.

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.

9. Please indicate in some way where the photo was taken (even if 'where i live in the Midwest'), what places you there, etc.

Looking forward too seeing something of where everyone is this month! Have fun!

One from today, the cliffs of Moher in Clare, Ireland. Used a Fuji X20 in P mode because I felt lazy!

Three from yesterday at the ball park (Target Field, Minneapolis):

I guess there was a game being played there but I must have missed it…

Love all entries so far. Mine will come soon. Sheep related of course because that's all what I'm doing these months: travelling through my country to inspect the sheep of our members/breeders for the pedigree book. My Ford Transit van is making lots of miles on the weekends.

I've been absent from the forums for a long time, so lets see how it goes.

I would get claustrophobic in such a mass of people

Great to see you back

I don't know yet if I'll get something "worthy" this month. Vacation is over

So instead of Met Stadium we now have Target Field.. I have been away too long. Great captures of the shape of the place and the ambiance.
