I second that motion

No bowels though but

[SuperKev]

Another cracking theme lads

Should be a lot of variety with this theme, good choice.

[Mercia Blackcat]

Excellent choice and possibly very technically challenging.

Again room for plenty of ideas.

Freeze the action or show the blur......and a whole range of possibilities in between.

The May Day bank holiday is when hordes of morris dancers and bikers descend on my sleepy south coast town. Hopefully I'll find something inspiring from the country dancing/bikefest mayhem

[Mercia Blackcat]

Well I've got an idea that I would like to enter but it depends entirely on a set of circumstances occuring together which is outside my control so may have to wait and see till nearer the end of the month.

In the meanwhile I will have to think of some alternatives so this could be the most active month for me thus far in the competition and so no early entry from me this time.

Whether I get any more votes as a result of that is debateable though.

I might point my camera at the ground and photograph the Earth rotating.

For those of us, like me, who haven't figured out how to set exposure times on our diddy cameras, this month is even more of a challenge. Still, that's the joy of it.

Exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking of going back to my old film SLR but even then I haven't got a scanner to get the film photo onto the pc. I haven't got a clue whether my digital point and shoot can have its exposure changed or whether it is purely automatic. Oh well, I had better get the instruction manual out or take Mercia's suggestions up. What about a picture of someone suffering from motion sickness?

An option might be to use your film camera, then pay for the film to be developed and scanned in. Think it's around a tenner to get the film developed and get a CD of the images, roughly the same price as getting the prints.
