Hi Mel,

that font is called 'Thirty Days of Victory'. There are lots of free fonts available online, I tend to use a site called Dafont.com.

Kevin.

I've got a thing about old postcards at the minute, and this image seemed to fit, so - Got rid of the cones using content aware fill and patch. Tonal contrast filter layer - Nik Colorefex pro. Blue solid colour layer - set blending mode to exclusion and drop to about 40% - this gives that nice faded...

I exchanged a few emails with them, but I wouldn't have been able to commit to it any time soon.

I suppose it's down to what we consider the 'purpose' of photography to be. If it's to derive enjoyment from, then cropping is merely a tool to enhance the aesthetic qualities of an image. If it's to present the truth, to show the world as it is, then cropping could be frowned upon. But even then, c...

I was there last tuesday. It's a great exhibition, with some very moving images and stories behind them.

The photos of Louise Page were very powerful indeed and brought a lump to the throat.

Thanks to those who entered, I don't know why I enter these because judging is certainly not my strong point. Maybe I never believe I'm going to win? Anyway, onwards... Janice - Has a lot going for it. I like the mask, I like the fact that the flower complements the colour on the mask, I like the ma...

Slipknot would be good, definitely. There was an exhibition in Manchester last year of photos of Slipknot, but I never made it along unfortunately.

It'd have to be Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction for me. This is a shot I took on a compact a couple of years before I took up photography as a hobby, I've love to have a proper go now. Also, Adam Ant would be great. And the Human League for a portrait shoot. And Siobhan Fahey. And... ad infini...

Thanks to Critical Mass for picking me as the winner of the last comp.

Masks - make of it what you will

Entries close midnight two weeks from now - 8th July 2013

Sorry for the delay here, and thankyou very much for the first place.

Oh no, this means I have to do the judging now doesn't it?

My most recent purchase was 'Cardiff after Dark', a fantastic collection of street photography. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cardiff-After-Dark-Maciej-Dakowicz/dp/0500544190/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371747879&sr=8-1&keywords=cardiff+after+dark It's on my shelf next to the two 'Beauty in Decay'...

My attempt. Buildings and clouds, I do like them in black and white.

North Sea, Bridlington Coast. 25 second exposure.

I had wondered about this aspect of gig photography, Philip. So if you get a photography pass you get in to take your photos and then get kicked out, but you don't have to get a ticket? I'd love to give it a go but I assume the demand for passes at venues like this would mean you'd need a bit of a t...

I hope this counts, I got myself all confused over whether steps outside count as stairs.
