BWTB Photo Contest #3 (CIRCLES) - ENDED

[Mr. Pickles]

Time for the 3rd PhotoCamel, bi-weekly, theme-based (BWTB) Photo Contest. This Contest will end about midnight on Feb 26th. This is our 3rd contest. Might be our last? The theme for this is:

CIRCLES

Interpret that how you want (but remember the voters vote on theme)

Here is a summary of the rules:

Each entry MUST "fit" the theme.

Each entry MUST be taken during the timeline of the Contest, so include EXIF data in the image file, if you can (Our website will show it as an option).

ONE image per member per contest, so make it your best.

Image MUST be resized down to NO more than 800 pixels on the longest side, and NOT more than 150kb in file size. Just so you know Photoshop mis-calculates the JPG file size (actual file is larger) in the compression dialog.

Image must NOT contain massive amounts of post processing. Use your judgement, but it should be limited to "normal" cropping, some level/curves, sharpening, etc.

Image must NOT contain a "signature", a web link/address, a frame/mat, etc. Your image WILL contain a simple black frame with a white mat during the voting process. See the previous contest entries for an idea.

Image must NOT contain anything "obscene". It is a subjective thing, but violence, nudity, sex, etc should be avoided, and will probably be eliminated.

EMAIL your image to this address:* photocamelcontest@gmail.com* *BEFORE the contest deadline. Include your PhotoCamel "member name" with your email, so I know who you are. Include a short caption if you want to, and if you finish well, I'll add it after the voting period to the image page.

When the Contest deadline is up, ALL valid images will be posted at the "PhotoCamel Photo Contest site". A new POLL will appear in this Forum on the Tuesday after the Contest deadline, so ALL Members can vote on their Top-5 (or so) favorite images.

I will endeavor to look up the word endeavor to make sure I know whether or not I will endeavor to enter. My head hurts now.

[Mr. Pickles]

Well, somebody better enter. I already got one. Can you beat it? I'm calling you all out.

[ohenry]

You know I like to wait for the last minute

[Mr. Pickles]

Yeah, you like to sneak in and steal a win........

And here I thought the naming trend was going to contine... from Number 1 to A Pair to 3rd Times the Charm and you had to go and throw us for a Loop and put a Ringer in.

Mike

loop, ringer....Mike, no hole in your logic there

[Mr. Pickles]

Just trying to find a topic that people would shoot and enter

[mikej]

Mr. Pickles, I can understand the difficulty in coming up with good ideas and getting people to enter. That's why I was trying to help in a round about way. I know sometimes, people end up chasing their own tails trying to come up with an idea. But then, it seems the young generation of photographers haven't taken the time to learn about the Circle of Confusion and use it to their advantage.

Oh.....my......goodness....

[ellette]

Good grief, even if I don't enter it is fun reading the threads in this section. Seems to attract the loonies which means I should fit right in!
