Hi fellow photographers!

2007 has passed and I wish you all a fruitful 2008. Still, 2007 is still warm in our hearts, in the good and in the bad.

So the Theme for this new year's begin is "2007" in the sense of "best of 2007". You shall put one of the picture you liked most that you did in 2007. The guidelines, in addition to the standard rules, are simple: it must be analog and it must have been shot in 2007.

The deadline is... until the next theme gets out.
--

Please read the guidelines below, if you forgot them....

Add in a line with technicalities this time: camera and film used (I'm sure it is film: you can use only that anyway here...).

Also please post the images using the standard title: <theme name> by <artist> and mention the original title inside the description!

Photogénique is an art group for fine art analogue photography - no digitally altered photos allowed.
We would like to gather the non-digital photographers of Deviantart and work to promote film photography.
We don't want too many members, so from now on we will not accept all film photographers as we did before. Send us a note if you'd like to join, but we'll only let you in if we find the photos in your Deviantart gallery good enough.
Each month a new theme will be chosen and you will then have one month to send us a photo on that theme. You can use your old photos, you don't have to take a new photo each month. And you don't have to submit photos on each theme. If you're busy or don't find the theme very inspiring it's better not to submit than to submit something half-hearted.
In the beginning of each new month the number of images on last month's theme will be reduced to about 20 (in case, of course, there are any more...) This is because we want our gallery to remain fairly small and easy to navigate.

Moderator of this group is:

Rules for submitting photos to Photogénique:
The photo must not be taken with a digital camera. (If we allowed that we would have to allow digital darkroom as well, and we don't want to do that.)
The photo must not be digitally altered. Dust removal and cropping is ok, but no fiddling with contrast/colour balance/saturation or removal of objects/details that are actually there. (If your scanner messes up your photos you may change them back to look like the prints/negatives actually do, but don't change too much!)
All analogue techniques are welcome: hand colouring, polaroid transfer, lithography, darkroom montage...
The photo must fit into the monthly theme. You don't have to take a new photo for Photogénique especially though, old photos are ok.

How do I submit a photo?
Members log in to Photogénique's account and submit their own photos. To make it easy to see which photos are on the same theme, please name the photo exactly like this: theme by deviant (I e if Caltha submits a photo on the theme "anger" the title should be "Anger by Caltha".) "Theme" means the actual monthly theme, you may not come up with your own theme.

If a photo is digitally altered, obviously does not fit the theme, or violates the rules in any other way it will be removed without notice.
Members who deliberately break the rules will be excluded immediately. Members who accidentally break the rules but do so repeatedly will also be excluded. (Since they have obviously not bothered to read the rules.)
