    As for "when am I ready?"  You'll never be ready.  It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it.  - pmbomb

    Very difficult to narrow down to three, let alone put them in order. Nice work all of you. A goodly variety of subjects all well captured.

    I’ve just been handed a gold envelope, and I can exclusively reveal that this month’s winner is…

    …

     @Haych :)

    Congratulations! Drop me a PM with your theme for next month’s competition when you get a minute, please.

    Thanks as always to everyone who entered and/or voted - I know I say it every month but I really do mean it (and it would be a very short thread if no-one entered!)

    Well done @Haych .. how did you get the pic?

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    Thank you all, I feel quite proud, but also like a bit of a fraud, actually.  It wasn't as mind blowing as one might think, although even I was surprised by the results.

    I didn't have an amazing amount of time to experiment with the theme, I tried a few things with water and thought about breaking a few plates and bottles, but knowing my luck I'd end up with a massive shard of glass stuck out the end of my lens.

    In the end I just strapped a camera (not one I value highly) to the side of the car with a combination of suction cups and some hefty tethers, and went for a drive to see what would happen.  

    I must have had some strange looks from other drivers, lol.

    The shutter was triggered remotely (thank goodness for technology, right) and then a little bit of post editing to a decent crop  and try to do something with the blown out highlights in the sky between the foliage.

    After that shot, I was hoping to go out and try it again, maybe this time I'd wash the car first or try something similar on the motorbike, but things got busy quickly so I just threw that one in and hoped for the best.

    If you all had visions of me clinging to the side of a car with one hand while riding a skateboard and operating a camera with the other, the truth is much more mundane than that.

    Thank you for all the votes, though, it means a lot.

    And I thought Haych had been lying in the road risking his life to get us that shot. Bit disappointed now.  ;)
