Definitely a happy feeling in the pants going on right now.
Still life, with special consideration towards lighting. Runs through two weekends *and then some*.

2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
3. The contest moderator will choose 5 (or 6) photos to be voted on.
4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.
8. And have fun.

Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

I like the submissions so far. But, like so many MPC's recently there are not a lot of submissions.
That, coupled with poor planning on my part means we're going to extend this one. I totally forgot that I am loading up the truck with the wife, boy, dogs, and camping gear and heading to the Eastern Sierra for a bit. Let's say this will be over Wednesday, the 24th-ish. If you can get something in this thread before I put up the voting thread on Wednesday-ish (could be morning, could be evening, hell, could be Thursday morning) then it will be considered.
Now, I know this topic doesn't seem to get the juices flowing but I like it for an MPC. Thoughtful backgrounds, DOF, comp, and lighting can and should play a significant role in Still Life. There doesn't have to be a bunch of fruit bowls up in here; foodie-instagrammers have their place. Maybe a detail of the gear sort on a climbing trip? Maybe the first yield from the garden? I don't want to limit it arranged subject matter on a table top. But you should point your camera at something static.
One of Fuzz's shots comes to mind:

Car Market by Faisal Syed, on Flickr
or something minimalist like this by flickr member acativa:
El nudo by acativa, on Flickr
At first this topic might seem boring. But I hope it can inspire new ways of looking at common things and is a very accessible MPC for folks who only get a chance to pull the camera out at home.

I really liked this topic and was more than happy to take up the challenge of something I really haven't done too much before. I hope the MPC gets some more entries.
Maybe post something in the Padded Room?Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

some nice submissions. I am back, 5 nights in a tent ended up being enough for the little dude. We are back to play with the kayak at Tahoe. This will run through today/night. I'll get a voting thread up in the morning. Again, if it is submitted by the time I get a chance to look through and start the voting thread, I'll consider it. There isn't going to be some "midnight cut-off" time…
Thanks for playing!

Heading to the hills before it gets hot. I'll be back this afternoon when the mercury hits ahunner'd degrees. I'll post a pole, beer in hand, from the safety of a cool house. I have 4 I know. I'm wavering between 3 for the last one.
Thanks for all the great submissions.
