Photo comp: need theme and some prizes...

[tim]

Thinking of having another KSRC photo comp. Previous ones have been a lot of fun, with everyone submitting their photos, then a Short list and final voting. Seems like just about everyone has a dslr these days,and the cameras on our phones are pretty impressive so there's no excuse

Things needed if we go for it:
- prize/prizes
- topic/theme

Ideas?

[laidback]

Topic = Naked women

NOOOO... the mrs gets the shits when i suggest this.

Theme: Light & Dark. People can get all creative with night time lighting
Prizes: Homefully a nice forum sponsor can throw up some goodies, in exchange for the photo comp. title ie. Kaneg's September Photo Comp nudge nudge wink wink

I need a front stand

[tim]

Sounds good Barra, theme is light and dark!

John, there's a thread for that already

Now, prizes I can put in a jar of Vegemite

[BarraSpalding]

Any rules?!

Suggestions:
Only pictures taken in the month of September can qualify
... otherwise some peoples (ie. ME) will just whip out some of old pics they have in the archives

Metadata (EXIF) should remain un-altered
Assist verification on image capture date and get some techy info on how the pic was taken, what gear you use etc.

Yep sounds good. I rekon image manipluation allowed in the name of creativity.

And the story of how the image was achieved could be included as part of the entry

When a photo is resized and renamed do you loose the EXIF data?

Just realised I said the opposite to this. I think we can trust our fellow KSRCians to be honest that they took the photo.

Other peoples thoughts? Allow shots taken before the comp started? Problem with not allowing them is we might not get many entries.....

Actually, lets have two sections for prizes: "Light and Dark" and "General bike/KSRC photos" and the entry period longer than a month.... 2 or 3 maybe...

My Entry for Light and Dark

Oh and I think entries should close at 2:14pm 27/082012

[BarraSpalding]

lol!

if so u won vegemite...

[robracer]

No prizes for DP as his entry is months old...... actually there are no prizes anyway..... suck it up

[BarraSpalding]

EXIF data remains when resizing... at least in the examples I see.

example




Agree a 3 month comp is good, run it up towards end of November.
