Competition:

Straight out  of the Camera (Digitals)

Date:

Thursday 15th January 2026

Entry:

3 Images

Guidelines:

The spirit of this competition is very simple, images must be taken on a camera with absolutely no manipulation allowed. Enter the image that resulted when you pressed the shutter, so not even cropped. Use of in-camera filters, such black-and-white, dramatic lighting, etc are not permitted. The only exception is to resize to 1600 x 1200 pixels, nothing else.
