    Didn’t manage to take anything suitable for this month’s theme. I had a series of photos from when my toddler was going through his obsessed by triangular road signs phase, but that was over a year ago (even if it feels like last week).

    I love that photo! I don't think anyone's taking it to the level of checking when the photos were taken, tbh...
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    Cracking photo - you should have entered it. I wouldn't have objected.

    @beed84 I've been looking at your picture and racking my brains, but I can't figure out what it actually is...

    Well, unless you live in York, or at least have inspected the inscription where said photo was taken, it would be very unlikely to figure it out. Any more guesses before I reveal the answer?

    THE ANSWER IS: The statue of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. As I roamed the streets of York for inspiration, finding the word 'sign' on the bronze statue was totally felicitous.

    Results are in on the competition thread. Congratulations to everyone that took part this month, as usual every photo was great!

     @beed84 I’ve just mentioned in the other thread that I still didn’t know what your photo was: I hadn’t seen your edit in this thread. Nice! I can imagine your glee at spotting the word sign on it too :)

    Nice pic .. glad you got it while you could as it looks like Constantine may not be there for much longer. York Minister is reviewing his status after complaints from the UK Black Lives Matter group that Constantine supported slavery. The Church is keen to not offend. The only issue seems to be who actually owns it.

    Nice. No excuses for this one as we presumably all have access to at least a window if not a garden or whatever.

    I already have a picture taken on my last day of uni.

    Just got to remember how to post pictures now.

    Edit - And it's in. The joys that can be had by overexposing a HDR image on a Huawei camera.
    Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.

    Thanks to those who voted; didn't hurt that I was in one of the most picturesque parts of the world.

    Hope you enjoy this month's subject.  Nice start @YellowLedBetterMan !

    Thank you for the kind words folks.

    The image was taken on the walk to Coventry Train Station on my final day of uni before lockdown, about 6pm.

    There were about 2 dozen people on the little green taking pictures of the sky, so I couldn't resist joining in.

    From memory, it was just using a HDR filter on the Huawei P20 Camera, and taking it into Lightroom and playing with the exposure. It was one of the first photography things I did, and also one of the best.
    Just so people are aware. I have no idea what any of these words mean.

    Yeah, very nice indeed Harry. I have a couple of worthy entries, but sadly they’re more than 12 months old  :/

    Can we submit old photos? I have one I'm quite proud of that I printed 35x35cm. It was originally not square, but it was the only big frame I had...

    If not, I'll figure something else out :)
