Title: Photograph of the month...
Post by: Badabing on April 26, 2006, 13:01:51 PM
lets do it!

Everyone posts a picture they want to put forward and we vote on it... It has to be by a TEK forumista and Snellgrove isnt allowed to join in* ;)

The winner gets the grand title of TEK Forumistas Photographer Of The Month[/b]... its more interesting than member of the month and itll stir the creative talents of us all and hopefully produce some cracking pictures....

*joke.

Sounds good! Can I request that the picture is taken within a given month too?

yep, excellent, i think it should be any photo in a given month... and as M3TA said, no oldies....  i think it should be standard film AND digital too.... no rules on what time of camera etc.

any camera is fair game :) SOUNDS good :D

Topics? as its difficult to judge maybe a picture of a child crying, against a picture of a landscape. Meaning content can sometimes influence decisions as opposed to just being a good photograph :)

If the task to take a piccie of a landscape.. we all take piccies of a landscape, if the task is to take piccies of crying kids, we all take piccies of crying kids :D lol that sort of thing.

Though the other comp I used to take part in used to have tasks along the lines of

"yellow" "reflections" "water" "good" "evil" "bad"

BUT, It would be difficult for a group to all take pictures of landscapes if 30 lived in innercity Manchester, 20 lived in Outer London and 3 lived in some epic looking town in Sweden or Canada... hmmm

landscape doesnt have to be mountains and lakes...

it can be inner city, just look at the work of lowry, his landscapes are amazing.

you just need to capture it correctly

that is what photography is

When are we starting this?
Title: Re:Photograph of the month...
Post by: M3ta7h3ad on April 27, 2006, 02:14:45 AM
Id say first of may but it needs a sticky and a locked one listing the rules.

New thread each month with the title consisting of

Photographer of the Month: THEME

So for May as brummie suggested...

Photographer of the Month: Technology

Once the thread has been started peoples entries have to be posted in that thread. Each entrant is only allowed ONE POST in the thread to cover ONE IMAGE that he has entered.

Deadline for all entries will be the 28th of the month that it starts on, leaving a few days then for Voting to take place and the winner to be declared.

I suggest that the winner picks the next theme by the 1st of the next month, so 2 days of voting start on the 28th... winner declared on the 30th May... by the 1st of June the winner will post another thread following the format as mentioned above, replacing the THEME with his/her chosen theme.

Whos going to start it, I presume badabing should create the thread to be stickied with the rules in and guidelines as its his idea. :)

Then... someone on the 1st of May needs to create a thread with the correct title and theme :)

Well then May is around the corner So I suggest badabing starts a thread on May 1st with that above format.  Sounds cool.

How about we put the rules in the first post in the thread? either that, or a new thread each month featuring the months competition.

:edit:

for the THRIRD time of asking, what the feck is Exif data? and what/where do you find/check it.

AND - The monthly picture thingy, what about real [non-digital] cameras?!

I own this - Pentax LX

http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/pentaxlx/html/map.htm

Its almost as good as a Leica without the price of the fashion name.

It relates purely to digital photography, guess nobody thought anyone would want to use film and scan it in :)
