Photo Comp.....

We once had an ' Anything Goes ' photo comp but sadly the site didnt have the numbers to sustain it .... Well i've been thinking , now that the site has exploded with members & it appears we have thousands that are interested in Photography maybe we can rebirth the competion :don'tknow:.... BOTM is FZ6 only & a lot of members have a talent to show...... What do you all reckon ???? :thumbup:

I would be down with that, Hump. I'm always interested in other ppl's technique, composition, creativity, and willing to share what I know too.

Gonna need some rules, guidelines, and possibly themes for each month?

Sounds like a good idea to me....i like to take photo's of things other than my bikes! Lots of photo's in fact....i have a few i would like to enter!

Is this a non bike competition, or a bike based competition still???

I think it should be non bike orientated personally.

Well, in that case, maybe BOTM will ALWAYS be about the bike now, rather than the pretty scenery!

One can only hope!

Ok peoples , Admin thinks its a great idea so when i get home from work i'll post up some draft rules so we can discuss & get this thing happening :rockon: :rockon:

1. All photos must follow the theme guidelines.

2. Entry is open to anybody with an FZ6 forum account

3. One entry is permitted per person; however users can replace their existing entry with a new photo if required.

4. The following adjustments are allowed:

a. colour, sharpness, and contrast adjustments that affect the entire picture in the same manner (B&W conversion is okay); and

b. cropping and straightening;

With the exception of the above, no other 'Photoshopping' or editing is permitted. This means no borders, signatures, selective colour or shading adjustments including post vignetting, etc and no multi-images eg: HDR, panorama etc.

5. You may only enter a photo you have taken personally.

6. The image dimensions must not exceed 1,024 pixels in either height or width and the file size must not exceed 1,024 KB (1 MB).

7. The actual comp gallery is separate to BOTM but as it is run from within this forum by and for its members, the same rules regarding 'Unacceptable Content' apply. Accordingly, photos entered and their related discussion must be kept family friendly.
