MIDNIGHT 31ST JANUARY GMT - SUBMISSIONS CLOSED - VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE!!
Polls close on 21st February when the winner will select the theme for March's Assignment...
Hi everyone! Welcome to January's Assignment!
The theme for this month is "Food", as suggested by Naniani (Sue) who won the November 2009 competition. Be sure to read the whole post for the rules.
In Sue's own words: "Regarding the theme, I have given this quite a bit of thought and have therefore came up with the idea of Food. (Food for thought).
I know many will be `fed up` with the sight of food, especially over the festive season, but this is something most of us have to hand, and I hope you will find this a relatively relaxing month, no worrying about the weather conditions or touring the countryside looking for inspiration, hopefully you will only have to look as far as the kitchen cupboard, larder or fridge. So, hopefully, there will be quite a few entrants. A recipe of the ingredients needed for this months assignment dish are listed below.
1 Camera…(any brand will do)
1 flash (optional)
Tripod (optional)
A large heap of inspiration
A small pinch of post processing,
Food colouring ( according to taste) to enhance the dish.
Any type of food of your preference.
Blend the above ingredients together, when happy with the results, serve the prepared dish to the camera lab assignment.
Cooking times will vary, according to settings.
Take all the above with a pinch of salt.
Your entries may be single pieces of fruit, vegetables, herbs, fish , desserts, main meals, anything you like, but no tinned produce will be accepted. Please name your entries, especially if it is some exotic fruit or national dish.
What will also not be accepted is anything you have prepared earlier, photos must be taken in taken in January. The sell by date is January 31st 2010. : O ) Imagine your entry is going on an advertisement board or pictured on a menu, so come on everybody, get creative. Get cooking.
Good luck to you all.
Sue."
