Can i get some clarification Please..

You have asked for a 30 degree photo
Is that 30 degrees from the front, sides, top or bottom ???

And does a candle include the tealight variety

Sorry to be a pain

Above horizontal and below vertical looking down at 30 degrees / viewpoint front / sides / back

A tee light is a form of candle so yes it will be allowed

Allen , to someone who left school and I use the word" left" very loosely :roll: :roll: can I say you interpretation of the rules re 30 deg. is without a doubt as clear as mud to me
And by quoting this if somebody presents a picture at 29deg. or 31deg. they would be disqualified :?: :?:
Could it not be from above or below as usual . Maybe others dont have a problem with this if so I will sit this one out .
I would love to be able to take good pictures and show off what I make to a top standard, but after taking cookery lessons for lats months I cant justify photography lessons for this months.

if segmented turning is not multiple segments what is it??? I am not being funny, just don't understand, me being fick

 

[Wildman]

is it permissible to put in two entries as I have a couple of ideas and cannot choose between them

As always you can use several pieces to make your entry , but not 100"s

No sorry one pair only per entrant

0 degrees is your table top with your pair of candlesticks on it

30 degrees ( or 29 - 31 ) is you looking slightly down at them :lol:

Is it as clear as mud now :lol:

Hi Blister,

Do you want any (or all) of the photos to show candles in the candlesticks to give a sense of proportion?

Well done to all in the last challenge again some exceptionally good entries. =D> =D>
We got some Swedish type chairs and stools delivered the other day for the conservatory The boss said don't let the grandkids sit on the stools as they don't look very sturdy.
Well I was trying to tune in the telly so went and sat on one, spent about 10 minuets trying to get up and !!!!!!!! at her for saying I told you so.
The long and short of this is that I have been confined to my chair only getting up with difficulty.
I thought that all was getting better today but then I read your post and it all hurts again. :lol:

better get well soon - as it sounds like you have to turn some stools too.....

 

[duncanh]

Is each candlestick allowed to hold more than one candle?

 

[RogerBoyle]

Can i also ask as tea lights are allowed
If we are allowing candle holders as well as candle sticks
For me there is a difference
As can be seen from the two Pics that I've posted

 

[cambournepete]

The rules state "a pair of matching candlesticks".
Presumably the intention is that they are as far as we can make them identical - i.e. same size, same shape?
I think that "matching" could mean different size/shape as long as they are obviously a pair

 

[RogerBoyle]

I realise the rules say a matching Pair
My problem is when i think of a candle stick i think Stick like
And when i think of a holder I think of anything else that isn't stick like LOL
As in the Pics I posted one is a candle stick and one is a holder #-o

 

[cambournepete]

Sorry Roger - my question was actually directed at Blister, but your picture illustrates perfectly a matching set of candle sticks and helps make my question clear
