All posts in Challenges

Firstly let us take the time to congratulate all those who took part in the last challenge which involved taking shots of anything related to the subject of sport.

We had some very interesting and creative entries which can now all be found in the gallery.

Now for a bit of history for those who care, the seven deadly sins as a concept dates back to early Christian times and has also been known as “Capital Vices” or “Cardinal sins” and was devised by the church to educate the devout with regard to what would put their eternal souls in danger.

In the early 14th century this became popularized by many artist of the time with depictions of either one or many of the sins.

For the purposes of this challenge we will be concentrating on the modern interpretations of the original list which has evolved over century’s to be the following:

• LUST
• GLUTTONY
• GREED
• SLOTH
• WRATH
• ENVY
• PRIDE

THE CHALLENGE

We won’t keep you long as we know you are already getting ideas (itchy shutter finger)

It’s quite simple, all you need to do is choose one of the sins listed or more than one if the fancy takes you or even for the more adventurous assuming the creative juices are flowing freely then maybe try to produce a combination picture which covers more than one sin in a single frame.

As with other challenges the only thing we would ask is that you take the image during the challenge dates and not use a stock image you have had on your hard drive for ages.

in this case 21st June to 5th July a whole 2 weeks

Once you have your images or preferably multiple images for more than one sin then simply mail it to us at :

info@ratemyfuneral.com BEFORE July the 5th 2012.

There will be no restriction on entry’s per person and we would appreciate it if you could let us know which individual or multiple sins you where aiming for with your shot. Who knows if we get enough entry’s for each sin we may be able to create separate galleries for each.

We would ask that this time you try to spread the word either on Facebook or other social media you may use or god forbid you could actually talk to people and get other people entering the challenge, the more the merrier.

Only a couple of things we would say is that if you are going to enter an image of a person that you make sure you ask their permission as you could easily loose friends over this one. Oh and the other thing is that although the temptation might be strong and we might like to see them, or at least the first one. We will unfortunately not publish anything showing gratuitous nudity or cruelty to animals. (But feel free to send them in anyway…)

We think this is all quite simple however if you do have any questions regarding the challenge please post in the field underneath and we will clarify. Don’t just sit there going…. I don’t really get it….

Remember this is for fun and we do look forward to seeing your submissions. The best image of the lot will end up in the hall of fame!

Happy snapping
