    ---- CURRENT THEME ----
    Theme: CSI
    Extra: None
    Deadline for submitting a photograph for this theme:
    - Sunday 12 August 2007 at 6pm GMT (this board's time)
    - Late entries won't be accepted!

    ---- NEXT THEMES ----
    Note:
    - I'll be on a holiday from 20th tuntil 29th of August.
    - So you get two themes that you can both send until I get back!
    - Be sure to read the rules well since I will not be able to send
    - a message back to you (20 to 29 August) if it isn't by the rules...
    - Your entry just won't be accepted. Consider this as the warning!
    Themes:
    - Serie shoot
    - Abandoned
    Extra's:
    Serie shoot:
    - You have to make three (3) photographs! Those three will make a serie.
    - This means that those three photographs can hold three different types
    - of content or main subjects. But together they are like a little story.
    - All photos have to be emerged to one file that is not bigger than
    - 600x600 pix. The serie can be about almost anything you want.
    - Some photographic examples: Example 1 | Example 2

    - Water (extra: no lake or sea/ocean)
    - Your idea here? PM me!
    You cannot send a photo for these themes yet!

    ---- RULES ----
    Please read them very carefully before taking your photograph and submitting it for entry.

    1. It’s entirely up to you how you interpret the theme, although I would advise you not to enter something too abstract that may be considered as having little or no relation to the theme. However the person(s) who make this competition can always dissaprove a submitted photograph when it is not related to the theme or holds dissaproved content.

    2. You are only allowed to submit ONE photograph for each theme. However when you think you made a better one after already submitting one and the deadline has not passed you can submit one again. The one submitted before will be deleted. This means that both themes that are mentioned at the beginning can be submited from the moment the theme has been given an (approx.) deadline. Don't forget to mention which theme which photo is for!

    3. The photograph you submit must be your own work, i.e. it has to have been taken by you. Don’t submit something your friend or family took, or something you found on the internet. It is a very sad and unfair thing to do.

    4. The photograph must NOT be manipulated in any way using Photoshop or any other such program. This competition is about how good a photograph you can take, not about what you can do with an image using Photoshop, etc. That is what the Fan Art forum is for.

    5. Entries must be no larger than 600x480 pixels. If they are, I will ask you to re-size it.

    6. This competition (like the icon challenges in Fan Art) is an anonymous one – this means you MUST NOT POST YOUR PHOTOGRAPH HERE. If you do, it will be disqualified, otherwise your friends will see it and may vote for it even if there are better photographs submitted. In addition to this, don’t go around telling people which photograph is yours and getting them to vote for it – that is a very sad and lowly thing to do, and the voting for this competition should be unbiased.

    If people consistently do not follow these rules, or I see signs of any unfairness, I will not hesitate to stop these competitions. The rules are to make things fair, so please do follow them so everyone can enjoy the competitions. Sometimes some of the rules will be bend a bit when mentioned with the description of the theme!

    ---- UPLOAD YOUR PHOTO ----
    Once you have taken your photograph, you should upload it to your own webspace, such as a Photobucket account, and PM me the link.

    ---- WINNERS ----
    Winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) may each receive a banner, available from me upon request via PM.

    ---- THE END ----
    Any questions, please either post them here, or PM me.
    Thanks and enjoy making your photograph!

    I've never done one of these, but it does sound interesting, so I think I'll enter. Can't wait to see the other pictures!

    Gonna have to count me out on this one. Where I live I really doubt I could find appropriate subject matter. I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with. Have fun!

    Re: Photography Competition: CSI

    Be sure to read the initial post again. I have changed the NEXT THEMES part.

    I know that this is a theme that you really have to get some creative work done and think about... I did that pretty much on purpose :rolleyes: I have already got three real nice entries so I know that it can be done. I have been trying this theme as well in the past with the glass and curved theme we had a while back. So just try I can say and you migt be surprised! If anyone is intrested in the photos I came up with for inspiration just say so. I'll locate them between my other photos and I'll upload them!

    I dunno I may sound stupid for a sec, but what has to be on the photo so it can qualify for the competition?

    That might be nice so that we can get a better idea of what you're looking for in the challenge.

    Re: Photography Competition: CSI

    anyhting related to csi. fictional or not.

    a staged crime scene (tomato ketchup, latex gloves and tweezers could do a lot for example), a real crime scene in the area that you come/came across with.. Something creative with your collected stuff.. Anything basicly!

    I am not looking for anyrhing... Just as inspiration... Just got out of bed but I'll look for them later. I've got two photos.. Both as mentioned before were made for the photocompetition here for other themes from the past...

    Re: Photography Competition: CSI

    Little later as I wanted but here are some examples. Please remember that they aren't a guidline of how your photograph should be.... You can make anything up as long as it fits the theme... Just for the ones strugling!

    These are some photos I previously sended in:
    Theme glass | Theme curved

    Hopes this helps some people! But basicly anything that is related to CSI is good!

    ETA: My English is poor today :lol:
