Brand new ETSOOI challenge

April 1st, 2013
After my thread the other day regarding ETSOOI (Editing The Sh*t Out Of It) I was asked if I could host a new challenge. Having looked through the discussion topics I realised that it's almost 9 months since we've had one of these challenges. So welcome 365 newbies, I hope you will join in :o)

ETSOOI is an acronym started by MaryBeth @espyetta that means EDITING THE SH*T OUT OF IT. It is what we do when there is a need to post a shot and we have taken nothing impressive enough for the day.

The challenge will start today and run until Saturday the 13th of April. Your picture must be taken during that time. Voting of the top 5 will begin and end on Sunday the 14th. The winner will host the next challenge and choose a theme for a new subject. This time the subject is 'the weather'.

Tag your photos ETSOOI-7 and have fun! You may also post them here if you like.

Have fun and enjoy spending some time going OTT with your editing :o)

haha it's what I do MOST days, not just when I haven't taken a shot that impressed me enough. I'm a PS addict :P

So are we only allowed to enter once? :)
April 1st, 2013
No, as many times as you like Breigh :o) Perhaps when you enter you can include a link to this thread so that we can get as many people involved as possible. I look forward to seeing what you come up with :o) @breigh

You couldn't have started it yesterday!? I did two ETSOOI shots for the very reason ETSOOI came into existence!!! ;~} LOL! OK! Game on!

Here is the link to my original and then the two ETSOOI shot are linked in that http://365project.org/grammyn/365

@nicolecampbell Oh good, I'm glad you're joining in Nicole. I look forward to what you post xx

@grammyn Oh no!! Oh well, I have attached a theme of 'the weather' so maybe they wouldn't have been suitable anyway ;o) I hope you take part Katy. I think all your lily photos are beautiful btw xx

@joa Brilliant Jo, my first entrant :o) I'm looking forward to seeing some more from you...and other people of course! I think it'll be a tough job choosing though xx

@psychographer Hahah, ok, I'm game. Although I do have another tiny challenge going on this week, too. Plus the Get Pushed one... :D I'm going to be busy! :D
April 1st, 2013
Mine are always a disaster, but I can't wait to do this just cause I like to say "Edit the s*&t out of it!"

@swguevin Good for you Sheila. I look forward to your contribution :o) If you do enter one of your shots perhaps you could include the link so we can get as many people as possible involved. Thankyou xx

@psychographer LOL! Thanks, Lisa! I think I didn't read as far down as the theme sentence! I will work on an offering sometime this week!
April 1st, 2013
@psychographer - I can't promise anything spectacular but I will have fun in the process.

Oops posted a photo but then forgot that the theme was weather haha
April 4th, 2013
Not much of an editor but here is my effort. It was just by chance that it fit the brief of weather.

the sun showed it's face today and that's the closest i am likely to get to weather for the moment...

April 6th, 2013
Yay! I am in! I have never done ETSOOI with a theme....so we shoot weather pics and apply ETSOOI? I will start looking for photo ops!
April 6th, 2013
aha!!! I'm in!
April 6th, 2013
@gwhit123 @northy Marvellous entries both. Well done :o)
April 6th, 2013
@espyetta @sunshinephoto5 Good on you ladies. Good to have you on board.

MaryBeth, when I looked at the previous ETSOOI challenges they all had themes so I thought I should go with that xx
April 6th, 2013
BAM!! Two challenges in one photo! Diptych and ETSOOI! Spring, seen but not felt! BRR!

April 6th, 2013
I'm so glad I finally found out what ETSOOI stands for!
April 7th, 2013
The old etsooi link keeps showing up so I am posting my effort here to try to keep this link towards the top,

April 7th, 2013
ok that didn't work, this keeps getting lost in all the other themes & competitions :(
April 8th, 2013
Not sure if this counts but I'm going to add it anyway because to me it says spring weather!! :)

@breigh Definitely Springy Breigh. As I said, it's all subjective. I'm going to have a really tough time choosing the final five!

@mbrunner They're super duper Martin but make sure you add the tag etsooi-7 so they'll be part of the competition :o)
April 8th, 2013
@psychographer I can help if you like... mine, mine and 3 other random photos :P
April 8th, 2013
