Welcome to The Gizmodo Shooting Challenge, where Giz readers get to pit their photographic skills against each other for the admiration of their editors on a dedicated theme each week. This week’s challenge: Pink. It’s been a while since we’ve done a colour, and it’s fitting to do pink during breast cancer awareness month. As a reminder, this closes tomorrow — get shooting!
Pink gives you plenty of creative scope as well as lots of challenge; it can be a skin tone, clothing, light, ice cream, sunset or foul-mouthed pop star. No stalking in that latter case, though, and keep it publishable.

So that’s a pretty open-ended brief guys, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
1. The work must be your own.
2. Photos need to be taken the week of the contest. No portfolio shots please.
3. Explain (briefly) the photography equipment, settings, technique and story behind shot.
4. Email submissions to contests@gizmodo.com.au
6. Include image in email (at least 800px wide)
7. One submission per person.
8. Use the proper SUBJECT line in your email (more info on that below)
Send your best photo by Tuesday, October 25 at 10am AEDT to contests@gizmodo.com.au with “PINK” in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs, and use a FirstnameLastnamePINK.jpg naming convention. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email along with a story of the shot in a few sentences.
And don’t skip this story part because it’s often the most enjoyable part for us all beyond the great photos!
