Boats
Be creative... as long as your car and a boat are involved... tis all good.
Everyone has imagination, this competition is here to get you exercising it. I'm really keen to see lots of entries for the first time, winner of the comp will have the right to claim the title "Almighty Phototaking Dude", until time of the next round, when the title will have to be relenquished, and re fought.
Right, a few rules, which may or may not be good, but as we need something to start from, shall be used for this setup.
*All pictures to be hosted somewhere, by prior arrangement with others if nessecary, and all entries to be pm'd to chief dude (I'll take responsibililty this time, unless someone who doesn't want to play in the game comes forward, basically, I want to play too, but either I'll take pictures, and not be influenced, or I'll step aside this round, until a judge can be found if people deem me untrustworthy
) This is so there is no idea snaffling, and all entries are then shown on the closing date.*One entry per person. I don't want to kill the creative juices, but having thousands of one person and only one other doesn't seem in the spirit. Basically, inform by pm by the closing date which one if you change your mind along the way.
*1024 x 768 max res, keep the forum vaguely in check for those still on dial up, anyone who wants a bigger version can always ask the photographer.
*No major photoshopping. I know MJ likes differing exposures for foreground and background, I'm tempted to say thats cool, as are smaller tonal stuff... magazine editors are allowed to airbrush. Basically... if you make you're car look like a rally scooby... or something similar, you're out!
*Remember, this is only a trial run really, so keep within the spirit I proposed the competition. Have fun, let everyone else be impressed. No getting anal, cos no one likes it (not that I can see how anyone could...!)
*Judging: This one is important.
After the closing date for entries, all submissions shall be posted in a thread, with attached poll. Poll will have a set run to date, and after the set date, the winner of the poll will be pronounced "Almighty Phototaking Dude". Self voting is both self indulgent, and sad, unless you truly think you are the master. But, hopefully, in the goodness of the situation, there will be enough outsiders to make it not matter anyway.
If anyone does want to be chief collator of the submissions, so to allow me freeness of entry, please shout, else, I'll do it and enter anyway as long as people don't mind!
Finally, for this round, to see how we go, Mondeo's may enter, as for sake of fairness, may Calibra's and Big Bricks.
You have until Midnight, 5th Aug
Admin, can I have a sticky please!
