Roll up Roll Up 😃APRIL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION THEME AND TIMELINES😃

[Soph0571]

HAB911 Won the February contest and therefore has the privilege of deciding the theme for the April contest. I will be hosting the April contest. So without further ado the theme for April is "bokeh, the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light"

For those who are unsure what this looks like HAB911 kindly provided a couple of examples which I will replicate here:





Stunning!!! and very challenging as a theme.

Now to timelines.

I will open the competition to entries on the 15th April
Will close the competition for entries on 22nd April 17:00 GMT
First round of voting 22nd April for 3 days
Final round of voting 26th April for 3 days
Winner announced 29th April and they will decide the May theme as a marvellous prize!!!

Please be aware that I will be nagging all of you relentlessly to keep this competition kicked. As always it would be great to get 30 original pictures so spread the news far and wide please.

3. Looking forward to it.

Took a few shots of spring here yesterday and it made me feel better than I have in several weeks to play with them afterwards.

Already been through my archives looking for bokeh and I am debating which of several to enter.

Terrific theme.
