What with me helping out on the set of a feature film over the weekend, and the UK's May Bank Holiday yesterday, I'm a couple of days late with the start of this month's photography competition, but the weather's nice so I'm sure you're all keen to get out there and take some great photos.

The Competition

In case you haven't seen our photography competition before, here's a quick recap of the details and the prizes on offer. Each month we provide a theme for your photographs and a closing date, and it is your task to go out and take photographs that match that theme, and then send them to us before the deadline. At the end of the month myself and the rest of the TR editorial team - most of whom are keen photographers - will study the entries and pick the winners based on our judgment. The best entries will be shown on the site at the end of the month.

There will be three prize winners each month, and thanks to our generous sponsors SanDisk and Adobe we've got some fantastic products for you to win.

The Prizes

For our first prize we are offering one lucky entrant a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. Currently retailing at over £200, this Editor's Choice program is an essential tool for DLSR owners, with facilities for editing, adjusting and batch processing all types of images, including Raw files. Lightroom 2 is fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop, and can accept Raw files from all current digital SLR and high-end compact cameras. It offers a wealth of creative features for improving and editing your photos. Lightroom 2 is compatible with both Windows XP/Vista and Macintosh OS X 10.4/10.5.

Our two runners-up will each receive a great new product from Adobe, a bundle pack containing Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 for all your photo editing needs, and Premiere Elements 7, one of the best video editing programs on the market. With more and more digital cameras incorporating powerful video recording features, this excellent program is sure to prove useful. This software bundle is currently selling for £113.85. Please note that this software is only compatible with Windows XP or Vista operating systems.

As well as these great prizes from Adobe, our top three entries will all receive a superb two-gigabyte SanDisk Extreme III high speed memory card in the format of their choice, as well as a top-quality SanDisk ImageMate 5-in-1 card reader. SanDisk memory cards come with a limited lifetime warranty, they are used and trusted by professional photographers all over the world and are renowned for their fantastic performance and reliability.
