I'll be on a holiday from 20th until 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 if it isn't by the rules. Your entry just won't be accepted if it isn't by the rules. Consider this as the warning that there is a possibility that your photo will not appear in the competition.
There have been rules set concerning the manipulation of photos. What is excactly allowed and what not.
There are two current themes because of my holiday.
There is going to be an "Amusement/Theme Park" theme soon.
Theme: Serie shoot
Extra's: 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. But then without the white and black lines between the photos..
This is a competition that you have to use a photo editing program to emerge the files to one. If you don't have a photo editing program send me the already resized photos with a little description for wich photo has to go where in the file. If you want me to merge the files you have to send them in before Saturday August 18th 2007.
Deadline for submitting a photograph:
Friday 31st of August 2007 at 8am GMT (this boards time)
Late entries won't be accepted!
Theme: Abandoned
Extra's: None
Deadline for submitting a photograph:
Friday 31st of August 2007 at 8am GMT (this boards time)
Late entries won't be accepted!
Theme: Water
Extra's: No oceans, lakes, canals or rivers...
Deadline for submitting a photograph:
Around mid September 2007.
You can already send in your entry.
Please read them very carefully before taking your photograph and submitting it for entry.
1. A photograph may not violate the policy set by this forum, Talk CSI.
2. It’s entirely up to you how you interpret the theme. However the person(s) who make(s) this competition can always reject a submitted photograph.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Entries must be no larger than 600x480 pixels. If they are, I will ask you to re-size it. I will only accept JPG format files.
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 extra of the theme! So be sure to read everything carefully each time.
1. Additions on your camera; setting manual options, filters, other than the normal lenses, etc are all allowed.
2. Saturation, white balance, colour balance, levels; NOT AFTER taking the photo.
3. Burn, sharpen, borders, filters (editing program filters), layers; Not allowed
4. Cropping; Allowed
5. Rotating; If you have a photo taken with the long side as the height you have to rotate it when it comes from your camera. Of course that 90 degrees rotate is allowed. To put horizons straight and sort of stuff will be considered as manipulation.
Even though most of the manipulation can be done without being noticed. I trust you guys on your honesty! If someone wants to use another tool that is not here on the list you can always ask me if it is allowed or not and I'll add it to this rules list as well.
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 (1st, 2nd and 3rd) may each receive a banner, available from me upon request via PM.
Any questions, please either post them here, or PM me.
Thanks and enjoy making your photograph!
