AUGUST 2011 - DAWN/DUSK

[odklizec]

Thank you all who participated in the July contest (you can vote here). Let's start with the August contest!

Theme:
The contest theme for this month is "DAWN/DUSK" (theme suggested by Athena - winner of the June contest)! Here is Athena's description of the theme:

Any sort of dawn/dusk scene will do - from the city to the country, it doesn't matter. There are no limits on what sort of subjects are in the shot, just so long as it is a dawn/dusk shot.

Rules:
You must post one photo right in reply to this post. Please, do not link them from other sites! Use the "Upload Attachment" instead.
Photo of something new must be taken with Ricoh camera!
The max size of the photo is limited to 1024x768 and the second photo (something new) must contain EXIF!
Please guys, make sure your photo contains EXIF! Entries without EXIF will be disqualified! Tip for LR3 users, make sure the "limit file size" option is disabled during export!
Ricoh film camera entries (without EXIF) are allowed, but only from people with previous forum activity and history (some previously posted Ricoh photos).

The deadline for posting contest photos is 31.08.2011 at 12PM forum time

Here you can learn how to upload (please, do not link) the photos right in forum post...

PS: Please folks, give your photos a reasonable tittle! The best would be to enter the tittle in the "File Comment" box along with your uploaded photo. At the end of each month I'm hunting for the titles over the entire post and sometimes I have no other option than to use "unnamed", which is somewhat silly

Taken with my old GR10 - now a bit beyond (cost effective) repair :cry: the Fuji in the EXIF is the scanner name and the image was taken in 2009 (not before my birth, as is indicated!)

Chris, I had to edit your entry and remove its "EXIF" because it made the forum mad Sorry for that.
