Mini Challenge #598 - Picture the Movies
3

Seems that nobody want to help out and I don't think aglake needs to have this on his mind at this time, so I will just run the next Mini challenge if it's OK.

So this challenge is simple, just give your picture a Movie title. If you really want you can give a tv series also. Not compulsory but try to use well-known titles that will give your entry more impact.

Normal rules apply.

Only one exhibit allowed per member. If you want to be part of the fun, give entries.

Challenge will end Sunday 20 Nov

Examples

Reservoir Dogs

Bird on a Wire

When Harry met Sally

Re: Mini Challenge #598 - Picture the Movies

Thank you Mannemark for stepping up and starting a new challenge. I'm sure aglake will appreciate it. I sent him a private message a few days ago expressing your same thoughts about not worrying and to take care of himself. I was going to ask for volunteers this morning but you beat me to the punch. I'm going to try and come up with some exhibits to.

I think they can submit more than one exhibit but three entries. Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought it mirrored the Sony Cybershot forum challenges which I am more familiar with.

Great images and titles!

Hu. 

I've been more-or-less out of touch with this forum recently (excluding my recent thread on the G5 X). I was shocked to hear about aglake's tragedy.

Things regarding the mini-challenges seem to be the same as ever. Back in Summer I had to jump-start them even though I hadn't entered (indeed I had only just started visiting the powershot forum). Why are they so unpopular, and more importantly, why does almost no-one want to commit to entering?

Over on the upper APS-C Canon DSLR forum there are a few members, maybe 6 or so excluding me, but they always enter. It's a similar thing (less members) on the Canon rebel forum. Why are things so different here?

Great and thanks for the memories!  "A Tale of Two Cities" was one of my favorite books in school and later the movie with Ronald Coleman.  I often recite those two lines.

In this case, they are reacting to the bird feeder that is just outside the window.

Searching for an MC subject while walking is far more enjoying than searching in archive!
