Do you think you can art? The Dorkroom runs a monthly photo contest and we wanna see what GBS can bring to the table.

The theme: Subframing

Subframing is a photographic technique where you frame another scene inside your image, here's some examples:

Seravid:

Ric:

Nigel Tufnel:

Quirex:

Myself:

How it works:
Take a photo, put it here, at the end of the month they'll be a vote and the winner gets a sense of pride and an av change or something. Contest will be open until the end of the month.

I know nothing about photography so I'm not sure if this is subframing. Just go with it.

It's like the sky is giving birth to a hot egg, poetic.

My fiance is the actual photographer, took this when we were messing around with a projector.

Edit: poo poo just read there was a theme. Gonna leave it up incase it ends up being sub framing... I'm not a camera toucher so not really sure.

Nice Jimlit, I reckon it counts. Really digging it.

One entry per poster but you can change that entry as many times as you please. The most recent thing you put forward or flag will be it.

Thanks for the input. I did a little work on it to level it out. Hopefully looks better?

I had just done some pretty extensive pruning on this plant and wasn't sure if I overdid it. I think it's ok.

We have a winner, Congrats Prolonged Priapism taking it home with 4 votes. Crusty Nutsack and Zomboni Rodeo share second place with 3 votes each.

Transnationally the winner would pick the next theme, will the GBS photo contest continue? That's up to Prolonged. If you've had fun the monthly Dorkroom contest is running with the theme Power.

.. I'm doin it like the bbcodes thingy says to and it doesn't work!

You need to copy the image address not the address of the Imgur page itself. Once it's uploaded right click/long press on the image then copy address.
