Hey everyone,

Sorry this is so late, been traveling for work and no time for fun.

So, my GF and I have just started watching Game of Thrones (yeah, we're a little behind the times) so this months inspiration comes from the Iron Throne itself. While a seemly boring subject in most households, maybe we can get a little creative!!!

Rules:

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 September 30, 2018 midnight EDT.

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.

9. Please indicate in some way where the photo was taken, what places you there, etc.

Here's a little inspiration of a deck chair, shot on a very foggy New Years Eve morning in Kansas! Good Luck

Hi all, here's my first entry, a picnic table. Pentax Q7, 02 standard zoom at 13.2mm f/4, 1/200 sec, ISO200.
2016-2017 winter was very cold for where I live (eastern Washington state in USA), but once in a while it warmed up just enough so the snow melted away to form a thin sheet of ice.

Wonderful entries added, Cipher, Kevin and David.

Creative takes on the theme.

Wow, all great shots!

My second entry: I was about to go home, saw this empty room, and the reflections of sunset coming through the window in otherwise dark room was gorgeous. I just took out my camera from my backpack, put it on a table and shot about 10 pictures.
Q7+02 lens at 5mm, f/4.5, ISO100. This is a composite of 0.5 sec and 1 sec exposure in Lightroom for a subtle HDR effect (in-camera HDR of Q7 is usually too much for my taste). I also had a similar-looking result from the 0.5sec single exposure, but the noise in the dark areas was just a bit too much.
