Roberts Raw!

Shot This Month

We’ve noticed that a lot of you don’t actually go out and challenge yourselves to new photos for our contests, but often select existing ones you’ve taken that match our themes. And, that’s fine, and we’ve seen some lovely photos, but what we want you to do this month is get out there and challenge yourself a bit. The theme is really open-ended for December, it just has to be shot this month: December, 2011. Well, it also has to have the EXIF intact, so that we can check, but otherwise, go wild. Shoot whatever you want. Just, make sure you shoot it this month (now might be a good time to make sure you set the clock in your camera right, eh?)

At stake, as always, is a free, professional-quality 16×24″ print of your winning picture. Pictures as still judged on how well they stick to the theme, creativity, and execution. You can enter up to two pictures. If you enter more than two pictures, only the first two will be accepted and further submissions removed. All entries are moderated and make take a day or two to appear in the contest gallery, please be patient.
