As per our announcement on Friday with the canceling of the Christmas Competition, we have taken the four entries submitted into that competition, combined them with last weeks entries for Photo Friday (meaning entries submitted before midnight on 6th Jan 2011) and found this weeks winner.
This image will join the rest of the Photo Friday finalists in the judging at the end of this month and should it take the prize winning spot, be the winning image of the Vanguard Backpack, Scott Kelby books, Black Rapid strap etc.
Keep your Photo Friday images coming for this week as the announcement will be made on Friday and be back in regular routine.
This weeks Photo Friday image is Spirited 3 by ladyravenheart. It was a tough one to choose this week as there where some rather imaginative images. Perhaps its just that we are hours away from the new year that this image takes the top spot.
Also be sure to check out Random Access Memory by Cas Pretorius as well as Window Patterns by carpat
Be sure to enter our Christmas Competition as well. You can see the current entries in the gallery below.
[Gallery not found]This weeks Photo Friday is ‘Days Gone By’. Thanks to Marinda for submitting it… I have a weakness for classic cars.

This weeks Photo Friday is Kruger Tree by AlanH. This week saw some great images entered and made it very difficult to pick a winner, keep the images coming.
Another image that was in the fight for todays spot was ‘An Apple A Day’ which you may want to check out in the User Gallery.
I just want to point out here, images submitted between Friday the week before and Thursday the night before are considered for the Photo Friday image.

Its Friday already… well its almost over looking at the time. Apologies for this late post, moving is not a fun activity and provides several interruptions. With that said we have had very few entries into the competition this week. Below is the one that stood out to us most.
This today being Guy Fawkes why not send us some fireworks shots or get ready for the festive season. We dont have a set theme at this time however there is one coming up on the horizon. Remember there is a great prize bundle to the best Photo Friday image at the end of the year.
The last two weeks have seen a slow down in entries on Photo Friday but as promised we have been working hard on building a prize pot to give to the over all winner at the end of the year. So perhaps this will help to get the entries up. The current prize for the the overall winner – which will be picked from each Friday’s image – is as follows… and it could still grow further.
Grand Prize:
1x Vanguard Skyborne 51 Photo Backpack
1x “The Digital Photography Books – Boxed Set Vol 1,2,3″ by Scott Kelby.
1x Black Rapid RS-4 Strap
1x Gary Fong Puffer
Prize Value: R 3,500.00

Here is this weeks Photo Friday image, late for which we apologize, more as to why in the next post. We have seen an increase in entries which is great, thank you for the support. We would like to strongly encourage that you push your creative juices further and for those who have not entered yet to take a chance, remember that there is still no set theme for this month so put your best foot… or images forward.
We have some great prizes gathering which will go to the winners of the end of year judging where all the Photo Friday images will be in the running.

This weeks Photo Friday image is this Dragon Fly by Janet. The image is sharp on the eyes and well composed, I have to take my hat off as I have never got a great image of a Dragon Fly.
Keep the images coming, we will have an announcement in the coming weeks of what the prize bundle is going to be that each Photo Friday image is going to be competing for.

This weeks image is a great attempt at photographing a water drop. Not an easy subject to capture, the colour of the water is eye catching. There is still some blur from the motion in the water which is the only criticism we have however it was our favourite image of the pictures submitted this week.
October’s images are theme free so submit your best across the genres.

Continuing with the Spring theme for Septembers Photo Friday this weeks image is another Cas Pretorius image (is someone prepared to break his run) entitled ‘Burst of Spring’.
This weeks Photo Friday image is from Cas Pretorius again. As you can recall last week we issued the theme of ‘Spring’ and said it was open to interpretation or in other words, it did not have to be related to the wonderful season we have just entered in.
This image certainly took an energetic approach to our theme. Congrats.
You can enter your images to the user gallery here. The theme remains ‘Spring’ for September.

This weeks Photo Friday image was a tough one to pick, and we only have some 20 odd photographs to choose from. That said, our Photo Friday image is “After a long day” by Cas Pretorius. Congratulations!
As mentioned earlier, it was not an easy decision to make, and photography is very much a subjective thing in my books, but after a week like this has been, there were just emotions that Cas’ image evoked which I found hard to ignore.
Photo Friday – Theme Assignment for September 2010
Okay, with Spring officially upon us here in South Africa it seems appropriate for thing Spring as the topic. There is however going to be a twist to this theme. We want your interpretation of the word ‘Spring’, which means it can be your vision for this season or any other way you visualize the WORD – Spring.
