So I'm a little stumped on this theme. entered a picture from my trip last summer, wish I would have taken a better one haha. But is that what you're looking for that kinda stuff?

 

Yeah, that works. It expresses the culture in Venice, with the gondelas and stuff ^^

 

You're gonna have to deal with the culture in Portland, my friend, as that's the only place I'll be for a while. I could always submit my mime photo from France, but where's the fun in that? These are supposed to make me take more pictures, not less :lol:

 

Each country has it's own culture, so bring it on

 

Go Canadian culture!

I think I will be submitting this month, I have a few ideas bouncing around my head.

 

Does it have to do with people in it or can it be an iconic location of a culture

 

Can be a location as well of course
Anything that defines a culture is suitable. For example, we here in Belgian have a lot of famous comicbook artists like Hergé, Peyo ... so taking a picture of one of the many statues around Belgium of one of those comicbook characters would also be considered as cultural

 

Or of course, delicious Belgian waffles smothered in strawberries.

 

Or Leonidas chocolates *drool*

 

I'm hungry. =(

 

thank god im going away in a few weeks ill put a placeholder in for now

 

Good, changed mine then. Thank god for last summer haha

 

Put mine up. I got to get into the carnival for free too! Was part of an event, and they let all 1600 of us in at no charge. The rides cost money, of course.

I might change it. I don't know. I have another idea, but I'm really attracted to the colors in the one up now

Sad story: after taking that shot, the on/off switch on the camera got tweaked a bit without me realizing it. The whole event I was shooting (which was seven friggin minutes total), I couldn't once get the aperture to change because of that. I wanted to shoot it at F10 or F11, but I was stuck at F5.6! No motion blur at all . I might have known what to look for, but I was borrowing a camera, and a Canon, no less! Ah well, it was fun to play with a friend's camera and learn something about Canon.

 

hopefully a saxaphone counts as jazz culture? anyhoo its a placeholder unless I can take a picture I like more when im on vacation =]
