When I took the shot a couple of weeks ago, I thought I had a white semi- transparent lens cap that you could read the embossed makers name through when left on the lens....... but it was one off an old Panasonic video camera that's long since binned. Ah well.

So what do I do open the back of the camera or take photos of the neighbors with a 500mm lens?

Had a bit of a shock when I first viewed that photo... the woman on the left looks the spit of my Mum when she was younger which then made me think whether I was the kid on the left...
All very disturbing... need a lie down.

I think I took that in a pub, about February 1968.

Anyone with any pointers on this month, not entirely sure in what rules are to be broken.
Sounds odd, but I really was try something I haven't before, buying an ebay camera (cheapy cheap) plopping the timer on it, and throwing it off a bridge!!!
Then, as long as the memory card survived, see what I got lol.

Probably the main one is The Rule Of Thirds
Then perhaps You Should Never Have An Out Of Focus Object In The Foreground
And Never Have An Even Number Of The Same Item In A Photo
And other such things...

Tie a bit of elastic onto it.......................that way you get an even more interesting effect as well as getting your camera back!

P.S. Just watch there isn't someone "punting" under the bridge first lest you hit them on the knapper with your camera!

That just about sums up everything I do anyway.
I took the breaking the rule description slightly differently.
I took a perfectly good photography, even if the horizon is dead center(that broke a rule), then added abrasions, lens distortion etc... Like I do with most of my pictures.
Anyway it’s nice to be back again. Hopefully I will stay around a bit longer this time. I look forward to winning this month

Yup, it's a toughie. The judges will probably have the choice of images that such good use of their rule-breaking style that they don't seem 'odd' at all, or images that are just plain perverse for the fun of it!
I interpreted the challenge to be for an image that was improved by deliberate contravention of the rules/norms for the type of picture. In my case (landscape) I also chose, for a focus, something that would normally be cropped out, obscured by a handy tree or photoshopped away as an eyesore. By dropping the horizon to the bottom of the frame, excluding all depth information and clues about location and placing the focus in the middle, I count 5 rules at least a bit bent.
Perhaps I should have posted it upside down?

Does 'breaking the rules' include posting excessively large photos?

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the
morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
