Last year we had some amazing entries in the two photography battles. It’s time for another, so here are the rules:
Rules – UPDATED
*Theme: *“Once Was Beautiful”
*Picture Type: *Digital, Scanned, or Photo CD (or pretty much anything else you can think of) – Black and White or Color
*Editing: *Only minor adjustments may be made using photo editing software. Levels, Brightness/Contrast, and cropping are allowed. All other edits are not
*Participants: *Anyone who submits before the deadline (One photo per member)
Entry Deadline: 11:59 PM CST, Monday, June 20, 2005.
We need to decide a theme, and after that is determined, an official submission thread will be created. All chat about the battle should go here and not in the official thread once it is created. The deadline will be approximately 3 weeks after a theme is decided upon and the official thread is created in order to give people time to go out and take their pictures and for the analogers to get their film developed. Once the deadline has passed, we will have a vote and the winner will be determined.
So what are your guys’ ideas for the theme? The first battle was reflections, the second was black and white. Other ideas have been nature, people, contrast, color, force, beauty, industry, violence, sky, water, sports, sunrise/sunset, insects, new perspectives, letters/numbers, wildlife, flowers. Come up with some more or pick your favorite.
Edit: So that this doesn’t come up later, I forgot to say that the picture you submit needs to be taken specifically for this battle, the point is to get you out and taking pictures (and to have some fun and friendly competition)
