Will this require multi-segment metering?
OK. Enough already. Keep it for The Lounge please.
Thank you.

Given the general lack of posts in the comments part of the monthly comps compared to the pic entries, I'd have thought a bit of banter in this thread was a good thing! After all, this is all a bit of fun, no?
Straw poll from the contributors?
Err, no. Keep the banter for The Lounge. End of.

The monthly competition isn't a bit of fun then? My mistake - I guess it's not worth bothering contributing to anymore then.
That's entirely up to you but what we don't want is for the genuine 'comment' regarding the submissions been lost amid a sea of 'banter'. Simple as that.I guess it's not worth bothering contributing to anymore then.
If you want to go 'off topic' then start a thread in The Lounge and do it there.

Yes, the theme does rather require the presence of an actual orange fruity thing like what they grow on trees in hot places.
I must admit I read it along those lines, as I see it the idea being that an orange (the fruit) needs to be in the picture somewhere, not something that is coloured orange.
If any of the first four feel they were misled in any way (by not actually reading the bleedin' brief) I'll consent to them re-entering via a PM to me. Oh, and £5 to cover administration costs.
There is an actual orange in my piccie - if you look hard. Think I got it from the Co-op.

I'll change mine and PM the mods, I have an Idea, but I don't have extension tubes for my DSLR, I guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way, even though even I would rather not.
I wish I had Gwen Stefani to pose with one like in the Don't Speak video

Well, thats a pack of six oranges down and a pair of very nicly scented bricks up.

Sorry, my brain was still in lounge mode at the time...
Please delete my gRIND post and this please.

Nights were a real drag, thankfully work's on 2 shifts now [day/back] so more time to do things... If only photography were higher up the pecking order ;-)
There is an actual orange in my picture - it is under the wrapper and I felt that the wrapper for the Blood Orange was such an integral part of the whole package that it would work - oh well will have to think on...
thanks for the opportunity to repost another pic Damien

I think that its the challenge of taking a common object and making it different rather than a concept, so i think its an orange over orange
There is AN ORANGE in my picture!
There is somone eating it in the powerstation in the background!
Ok OK, I'll change my image lol
Given this comp is in fact for fun despite posts to the contray, I spent the morning with an orange and various implements of death, including an air rifle, meat cleaver, hammer and various knives. You can see the results over here: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/martypg/AnOrange#
I used three different cameras, my Fujifilm S2 Pro, Nikon D80 and Canon A420.
Working a hammer in one hand, trying to hit an orange with it, whilst operating my SLR in the other proved a little tricky. In the end I went with one I'd done with the gorillapod and a compact camera - an interesting morning
Did you get them in just for your photo shoot, or could you just grab one from the bowl?
I've tried Asda twice, and then gone to Sainsburys today to get some that look OK and were the right sort of size for what I wanted.
I don't normally get oranges - they were more than I thought!
git, that was what I was thinking of doing.. might still do it as my idea is a little different.Did you get them in just for your photo shoot, or could you just grab one from the bowl?

BSRIPN (Officially full of it..)
Yer - I wasn't going to do it this weekend, but thought that a few people might be looking at the same thing so I needed to get in there first!
