As nice as your neighbours bottom might be, I'd rather you didn't.

You could but that would be a drawing not a photo. And no, you can’t take a photo of a drawing of a guitar.

I anticipated some teething problems, but let’s try to avoid this in descending into silliness

I actually already have a plan for what I want to achieve for this. Just need to work out how to get the shot right without copious photoshop. 

With that in mind, are there any rules in terms of processing? I assume basic Lightroom / PS stuff is fine provided it doesn't go beyond "photography" and into "digital art manipulation"? Though admittedly everyone seems to draw the line between these in a slightly different place.

Good question, and very conscientious of you. Ultimately it’s your photo, so feel free to do as you please within reason. As you’ve already pointed out what you don’t want to happen, I trust you’ll do this anyway

In which case, everyone else take note!

Spiffing.

Just added my photo... not so many in there at the moment!

What is that in your picture, @skunkwerx? I like the colour

Incidentally, I had two pictures and wasn't sure which one to use. This is the one that didn't make the cut:

Early entry?

EDIT: Ah, because it only opened on the 1st?

Bridgehouse

This one is proving tough.. being a bass player I don’t possess a guitar

beed84

Thanks for the entries so far, keep 'em coming! 

 Also, I noticed that camera settings have been added to the competition thread. Everyone okay with that?

Dude, that's something a drummer would say

I guess it could help others to try similar settings?......

My entry is in, I really struggled to come up with something that might be considered a bit different......
I even had 8 Strats in various poses on the lawn!! Caught the neighbour watching, bet she thought I'd lost it!!....

I absolutely agree; however, it was discussed when idea pooling that the 'comment thread' could/should be used for said settings to make the 'competition thread' text free. If everyone is happy with this info being there, then it's okay with me too

I still have a photo in my head. Just need to get it in the camera... We still have 10 days, right?

beed84

@skullfunkerry you definitely made the right decision   

@stickyfiddle yes, 10 days and counting. Your idea best be worth the suspense

I promise I have an idea. I can't promise I will make it work... But I will definitely try

I forgot about making the main thread text free... if everyone wants to move the photo settings etc to this thread then I'm happy to edit my post
