***ETSOOI-8*** The challenge returns!

April 15th, 2013
Firstly I would like to say thank you for voting my shot as the winner of the last ETSOOI challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people behind the person behind the camera. Firstly my mum for raising me, my wife for always supporting me and my children for being my subjects. I would also like to thank Dave at the camera shop down the road and Jeanie the lady that sells me my photography magazines. I’d like to thank my producer, director and make-up team for their endless support. [tear wells in eye] But most of all I’d like to thank the wonderful people here at 365 for their encouragement and so forth.

Right, acceptance speech over onto the challenge (this is the first I’ve ever hosted so bear with me, and if there are any obvious errors let me know)

“ETSOOI is an acronym that means edit the sh#t/stuffing/shenanigans out of it.. It is the war cry of the hopelessly PS addicted and here on 365 we like nothing more than to feed those addictions.

The challenge will start 16/4/13 and run for 2 weeks (because that is what happened in the last one) and therefore end on Monday 29th April. Your picture must be taken during that time. Voting will commence as soon after this time as I have looked through the entries and picked five finalists (and yes I do take favs/comments/follows as bribes ;-)). The winner will host the next challenge and choose it's theme.
.
This weeks subject is EMOTION. Lots to play with there, so have fun

Tag your photos ETSOOI-8. You may also post them here if you like.

Thanks, enjoy

This is my husband, who would never think I would enter this photo. We were goofing off this afternoon, and took this photo. Then the light bulb appeared over my head. I did some HDR and did some burning and dodging. Pretty happy with it.

EMOTION = FRUSTRATION DUE TO CONSTIPATION!

April 19th, 2013

April 19th, 2013
@sxyrhoose your husband looks like a formidable man! Interesting shot. For the competition the subject is emotion, so link this to an emotion and jobs a goodun

April 19th, 2013
@gwhit123 I had tagged it with the appropriate tagging. The emotion is FRUSTRATION DUE TO CONSTIPATION. How's that?
@violeta @espyetta Thank you,, and I just entered it yesterday. The contest isn't finished until the 29th...I believe.

April 20th, 2013
@espyetta Doesn't have to be people! ;~}
April 20th, 2013
@grammyn yeah, but this is still going to be a tough one to depict....but I am thinking.....
April 20th, 2013
@espyetta did you SEE my picture above?!
April 20th, 2013
Not at first! I am on my iPad...so did it scroll and see it...but, then somehow a few minutes later I found it..hee hee! I have commented and fav-Ed it too! :0) love it! Very funny!

ANXIOUS

Great possibility; I do love the sepia. Do dogs have emotions of do we project ours onto them?
April 20th, 2013
@barbcapecod

My view is that dogs definitely do have emotions. I think they are very of-the-moment emotions. I don't think they worry about the future!
April 20th, 2013
Emotion = HAPPY!! Maybe not visible from looking at the photo alone but you will see it after reading the description! Definitely ETSOOI though haha

Love the speech George-Hilarious! Congratulations on the win, it was one of my favs! I've never done this challenge so I thought I'd give it a try with this one. Hope it's not to scary:)

My emotion for etsooi8 is indifference
April 23rd, 2013

April 24th, 2013
Whew, pick one... sadness, frustration, anxiety, anger.
