I got a couple of ideas. BUT, it is raining here today. I will have to wait a bit before I can venture out for my entry. :(

...or there was a behind the scenes discussion to see if there was any prayer of having a simple challenge topic without a long drawn-out interpretation thread where people quote definitions from Klingon dictionaries and Aztec scripts. :-/ |
You have a Klingon Dictionary? Come on! Get that thing out and quote from it for us!

| I suggested we have a challenge topic of "DNMC" - how could you possibly argue that one? |

Ha! I was just thinking about what the majority of submissions were going to look like and you nailed it.
I'll be carrying my camera all week for this Challenge submission. |

I think I'll have to sit that one out and watch the mayhem. |

| since roads are usually paved, and parking lots are usually paved, would it be a stretch to have a picture of a parking lot? |

skiprow, I don't think that will meet the roads challenge because it's not actually a road. It will, however, meet the criteria of the sign challenge. Parking lots are filled with with parking spaces, some of which are handicapped parking spaces, and to park in a handicapped parking space you would need a sticker or sign inside your car or on your license. I think everyone would make that connection with a parking lot rather than seeing it as a road.
I have one I'm thinking about entering, but I don't know if it would meet the challenge. It's a picture of a road that I take to work every day, but I want to enter it in signs. I figure people will make the connection because I will title it "The road where I go to work to get my paycheck `~~*SIGNED*~~`". I just don't want people to get confused and think I submitted it in the wrong challenge. |

so what is everyone's view that a road doesnt necessarily have to have cars going over it. A pedestrianised path is still a road????

THAT will make you smile for days. :)
Always be true to yourself. Thank heavens for these challenges with no DNMC arguments. I'm getting my DPC religion back... :) |

My Road is in. It's quite funny, and inspiring at the same time, when you go out to take a specific shot you have in mind, but then find that a shot off the beaten path and on your way home is actually a better entry. This is what happened to me, and I find that very pleasing.
I guess sometimes actual ideas only bring more ideas and so on. That is what I love about photography. You never know what you will come across while weilding your camera around. LOL...
NOW, as for Singled Out, that one I am having a HECK of a time with. LOL...I tried doing some yesterday while at restaurant, but in low light, my camera isn't the best. I got nothing, but "could" have gotten some good ones if only low light wasn't the issue. Then we mosied over to a department store. I waited outside as my husband ran in. Found some really cool shots to take, but NOW it was past dusk, and again, low light was the instigator. I got nothing usable. Either too far away or blurred. UGHH.
Well, tomorrow is when I actually plan to do my shoot of plan. I hope it works, as its getting mightly close to deadline.
Sorry I veered off subject!
My best to everyone. I expect to see some wonderful shots, as always!!

Was out yesterday and got to thinking...
ROAD:
road less traveled, road to hell, road to nowhere
SIGN:
street or business signs of course, but what about sign from god, sign a contract, sign your life away, a sign to stop your evils ways, sign language...

| If you think about it, between road and signs this is almost an open study (to a degree). Say (as an example) you could take a picture of an attractive woman in lingerie looking alluringly at the camera, and title it "sure sign of a fun evening ahead". Since I have no chance of taking a shot like that, I'm throwing it out there. :o) A shot like that would probably get an equal number of 1's and 10's, assuming it was a well taken photo. That's just one of about 1,000,000 examples I could think of to twist either of these challenges around. With that in mind, these should be fun to enter AND fun to score! |

Oh my god Becky!! Do avenues count?? What about Streets? There's this really cool boulevard downtown, and I thought about shooting it, but didn't know if it boulevards would be voted down cause they aren't really 'Roads'. Oh NO...what to do now..my idea's shot. *cries*
Becky, would a path work? But it's not really a road, but if a dirt road is a road, then a path should be a road.
In the end, I think I'll just enter a photo of a tombstone and title it 'Road to Heaven' and people will just love it. Yeah, that's it.
*rolls eyes*
Just some humor here people, don't get all excited. |
ROFLMAO - that was great !!!

The word 'road' or the equivalent in other languages already existed when only horseriders and Roman legionaires walked on them....
