So, next competition topic. At northern hemisphere Summer ends soon (except in Germany it seems, August and September changed places, we have the summer we missed a month ago at the moment). So i had the idea to go to fall mood and for that i want to see some fog. Morning fog, evening fog, from full steam to light haze, from landscapes to close ups, whatever. So search your databases or take a morning walk. I'm looking forward to some romantic stuff :)

Nebelwald - 20160101 Frost und Nebel -  20160101

As we have agreed previously, the competition will run until we have EITHER a set minimum number of entries (let's start by trying for 10) OR for two months, whichever comes first. So, as I'm starting this in early September, the absolute limit for entries is the start of November- but we will go that long ONLY if there are fewer than ten entries. So I'd suggest getting your entry in soon!

Remember though, to add the keyword "Prime Lenses 0916" so we can readily identify all the entries at once and please add a thumbnail or link in this thread. You can have up to 2 entries.

We don't have fog as such, so here is a hazy scene

A good subject, Sven. I'll have to dig through my archives though.

Let's hope some fog rolls through soon - this is the only fog image I have with a prime lens - and that in a phone!

It's the wrong time of year for me to even imagine seeing fog - but surely there must be some where most of you are? :-)

People are too lazy to get up early for the morning haze... xD

So sadly the tendency of the forum posts in groups staying unnoticed (because i think, _this_ is the root of the problem, not lack of interest) continues. In times people get used to social media functions like push notifications and such that brings the news to the people it will be hard for any platform that misses out such social activity tools - people aren't used to go (and have to click and scroll for that) to places to look if there's something new - if it doesn't pops up in the notification bar or a kind of timeline it doesn't exist :-(

Nevertheless, Marta's great "foggy morning" would have been hard to beat even if there were more entries anyway, great spooky mood and atmosphere! Gorgeous foto, Marta!!!

Thank you, Sven! and forgive me being so late with my thanks.
I've been so overwhelmed with my work and some personal tasks lately that I effectively stopped being active at any photo forums.
Now that I returned (for a moment), I find things here changing and it makes me very, very sad.

A good call, Sven. Congratulations, Marta, your shot certainly fits Sven's comment of "great spooky mood and atmosphere" and is a deserving winner.

Now, the big question - with fairly few entries popping up, do we continue with our competitions? All comments will be greatly appreciated.

I admit i'm a bit clueless about that. On the other hand i really like our contests, nevertheless the low quantity responses, because i love every single one, even if there join only two people like this time.

As long as ipernity doesn't have any kind of mechanic to pop up when a new forum article is posted or such, i really don't know how to draw attention to things people would like to see if they just knew it was there :(

Ipernity has provided the answer to your question, Sven. If anyone hasn't checked the ipernity blog, I suggest you do so. Sadly, it seems that ipernity is to close down the site, probably from 31 January 2017. On that basis, I'm afraid I'll have to say that we've run our last contest in this group.

Many thanks indeed to all who have participated in our little contests. The number of entries may have varied, but the standard was consistently good and I think everyone has found them enjoyable.

Thank you, George!
For maintaining the group, for keeping competition active, for your kindness, for everything indeed!
Let's stay in touch after Ipernity shuts down.
