BWTB Contest #5 - SHADOW(s) - Over

[Mr. Pickles]

This contest is OVER....

Time for the 5th PhotoCamel BWTB (bi-weekly, theme-based) Photo Contest. This Contest will end about midnight on March 26th. The theme for this is:

SHADOW(s)

Interpret how you want, but Shadow(s) needs to be a major element (and 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 200kb 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.

Notice the file size limit has increased to 200kb (25% more) to try and help satisfy some questions.

[Mr. Pickles]

Only a week to go on this one. Not too hard a subject...I think

Besides, we have to knock Ellette (Sara) off her high horse

[mikej]

Only if it includes a shadow, Mr. P.

[Mr. Pickles]

Last weekend for this, coming up. Take any old Shadow(s) picture and send it in. It worked for Ellette last week

[mikej]

We don't get shadows here in the Northwest until about June... it's all rain and over cast until then.

Mike

[Mr. Pickles]

You can use a flashlight, floodlight, lightbulb, strobe, hot light, candle, etc and create a shadow

[mikej]

Oh, I never thought of that.

Only the Shadow knows

Man, I'm gettin old

[mikej]

...what lurks in the minds of evil men.

I think that was how it went... it was a long time ago when I use to listen to the Sat adventure series on the radio... AM and with tubes. Scarlet Pimpelnail, Green Hornet (or was it Green Lantern?), Sherlock Holms, Lone Ranger, and a few others. Bow was that long time ago. You are right, Mr. P... you ARE getting old.

Green Hornet was better than the Green lantern. The Green Hornet had a cool car.

Now, back to the Shadow........

Yea, but the Green Lantern had that cool saying he used when recharging his ring:
In the brightest day
In the blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power
Green Lantern's light.

I read too many comics...

My Shadow got stolen, but that's an old Dodge.
