Well this in my house right now...


And considering that you aren't legally allowed to take pictures on private property (mall flower shop or an industrial yard) I'll have to buy some flowers and bribe guards *sigh* NOPE. Just bought $20 worth of pixels here. Unless a plastic or silk flower is ok I can't join that part. And I'm not even going to consider the other one.

Psst: She(Nemo) has a DA full of awesome photos. People on DA are pretty harsh if they find out your not uploading your own stuff. In fact they ban you.

Well, I don't live in the city - I'm in the middle of nowhere... And all of my industrial photos I've taken PREVIOUSLY with no hope of getting the hand written piece of paper with my username on it....

But overall - I am just upset... And whatever. There is nothing that you can do... I get that! Whatever. Just another thing to add to my list of things that upset me right now. Mene just overall has been upsetting me and I really was looking forward to entering this contest, but I suppose it's a moot point, because right now, I'm just too upset to even want to enter anymore.

Hey, to anyone who doesn't have flowers growing at home right now, consider visiting a local florist, museum, greenhouse or arboretum! Flowers even could be found in buildings like hotels, restaurants, and churches. I used to work in a flower shop and we felt honored when someone came in and complimented the flowers, and asked to take a photo of our arrangements. Not in excess of course. Since you won't be selling or using the photo commercially, they'll *probably* be okay with it though. Just be sure to ask permission first.
Purchasing something, even the smallest cheapest thing in the store, is a nice expression of gratitude in return. Or simply a brief conversation, a smile and bright toned "thank you!" as you go. Don't lose hope! Flowers hold such great meaning in our lives, we humans like to find ways to keep them closeby.

Lookin' forward to taking some flower photos tomorrow.. who knows, maybe can some industrial goodies too.
For now, just wanted to offer those ideas to those poor souls who are still soulbound (I pity you wholeheartedly.)

Yay! I hope the idea is seen and gives hope to others too.
I really want everyone to have a chance at this one. ;u;

You can use photoshop for stuff like that, yes. General touching up is fine, it's only a no-no if you start trying to edit in a slip of paper with your name on it, adding more flowers, stuff like that. But editing out unattractive things, adjusting colors, lighting, contrast, sharpness, that's all fine.



Regarding the industrial category, keep in mind that what you're taking a photo of doesn't have to be actually industrial. There's some exposed water pipes in my basement, and the right closeness and angle could make them look a part of an industrial machine, even though there's certainly nothing overly steampunk about plumbing. The flower category is pretty cut-and-dry in that it's just pictures of flowers, but the industrial one is very open to your own interpretation.


Nice ideas, Lokinta!

Good, becuase I might change some things with the pixes to make the picture look better in photoshop and scale down a photo so that it looks better coming from my phone..

Yay, I finally got a camera for Christmas so I can actually enter a photo contest!

I'll have to wait until morning, though.

If I drove, I'd be up for any of that, but I don't drive and I live in the middle of nowhere.

This makes me want to go and hunt down some abandoned buildings... Hm. Could make a trip out of this. Hopefully the weather clears up where I am, so I can go out without getting rained on. Haha!

Don't know if I'll be back in time to actually enter, but I'll take some pictures just in case.
Looking forward to seeing entries too!

Pa-Pancake and spicedroses - If you can find those same flowers again, you could take a proof photo. Though if they're out in a field somewhere, I suppose that wouldn't be too easy. Feel free to share your photo with us, though!

For Industrial, we're ok with rusty right? Cause when I think steampunk, I think all shiny and copper and stuff. I have some interesting rusty things around here though.

Long - Can't say I'm familiar with beach plants. I've never even been to the beach! I look forward to seeing your photo.

Zombie Pixie - They sure do! I personally like dandelions quite a lot, they're a cute little flower.

For-Chan - Rusty or shiny, either's good.
