Well I hope 11 others join in you just gave me motivation, to go shoot my Curta's. Of course 2 hopefully ship out tomorrow but I should have them back in plenty of time.
Any guidelines, besides size. Whole curta's Are just parts ok, can we have multiple curta's in the pic? I am assuming as long as the theme of the pic is Curta your in the running. |

... that's it! Curtas in all their beauty - not limited by any kind!
And please keep the original photograph (in full quality) - the given size (640*640 to 999*999px) is only for publishing here. |

New curta owner and forum member. I'm sure there'll be much better than this posted, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling here, and set the bar low for someone else to win

Nice, My collection is all back in my hands now to set up a photo shoot session and see what I can create. Use to be into photography, but that was many years ago. Was looking for something to spark me going again. I think this will be it. |

@ricky: Nice shot. Most people wouldn't know what that is, but having been into a Curta, I know exactly what that is  |

I would hope most people know what this is. If they have a Curta they have seen it often.  |

My artistic flair is nil; please be gentle
EDITED: Missed the rule wherein only 2 pictures can be submitted; thus, removed a couple.
Apologies.
Cheers,
CurtaGuy |

Unfortunately it was not possible to finish this competition because there weren't enough participants...
There are about 700 members and a lot of daily visitors so I set the necessary number to twelve participants - but that was way to high!
OK
Thanks to "aa1i", "ricky", "stefancham", "Sebastian" and "CurtaGuy" for their contribution  |
