DVXUser Photography Challenge: Round Three

Why?
Why is a filmmaking community doing something with photography? Simple... With photography you learn about lighting, composition, framing, blocking, and it is fun. Ask any of the 30 people who submitted for the first round to raise money for charity as well as participate in a community event and they will tell you, it was fun, plus:

It is very simple

The Rules:
*Take a picture, in the time period, that fits within the topic of the week on any camera with any lens that you want (D-SLR, Film, DVX, XL1, Cellphone)
*Post process the image in any way that you choose and see fit.
*Please do not post any images that are larger than 8" x 10" at 72DPI
*Email the image to DVXUser@stffilms.com along with any comments regarding the image
*Vote and comment on the images submitted
*The winner will choose the topic for next weeks photography contest.

Simple, right? Maybe too simple... So what's the catch? There is no catch! No cost. No one profiting. No one stealing your images and claiming them as their own. Nothing...

PRIZE:
*The winner chooses next weeks topic (example: landscape, macro, or anything) & if we exceed 50 entries I will make a $50 donation to Isara.com. If we exceed 250 entries, I will donate $250 to Isara.com which is an associates degree in Thailand (according to PK). Your participation can help give the gift of education.

This week's topic: Addiction (completely open to interpretation)
Due Date: August 30th @ 11:59 EST
Voting Period: August 31st - September 3rd @ 11:59 EST
Next Topic Posting on: August 30th (by winner of Round 2)

Good luck everyone and I can't wait to see what you submit!

I figured that would work well given our community here, plus the fact that I'm on day three on nonsmoking.

My wife's camera might come back from the repair shop in time to jump in on this one! :thumbsup:

I know we can take the shot with any camera, but if it's not an DSLR it just feels wrong to me. :(

I thought right away, "OOOH! Mine's going to be a picture of someone on DVXuser!" And then, "That's what everyone else is going to do."

Great topic. This should be good.
 
I'm glad everyone has been so warm and receptive to this idea. I didn't know if it would be received well or not, but I guess everyone has those things they are addicted to so it will work out well enough and we should see some great submissions (BTW: I know what Horse is going to do already).

i wan't able to participate in 2, because of a hell of a workload of late. Shame, because thie state is beautifull in the summer. Hell, I should have submitted one of the pics I worked on for stonewall Jackson resort. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

I don't think that would have counted, though they really are some nice photos.

I'm gonna do my damndest to get into the third though.

But, how can the third have a theme when the second hasn't been voted on yet? Just curious.
 
That was done to get us "ahead of the curve" so to speak. The winner of this week will pick the one after week 3, that way we have a full week to complete our project. Otherwise, we'd have to wait until after a winner was chosen to choose next week's project, effectively giving us very little time to complete and compete. :)

Next Wednesday, as the deadline for Addictions closes, Jeremy will announce the next contest, chosen by the winner of Summertime, giving everyone a weekend to get their shot.
 
good point. I should have thought of that.

Damn you and your infernal intellect!! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Oh, and that pic of the dog you put in the other thread is awsome blaine.

Haha, thanks. He's right next to me on the arm of my chair right now, twitching and yipping in his doggie dreams. :)
 
you said this can be photoshopped. Does it have to be a single picture? Can you take multiple pictures and blend?

The rules are, one image submitted taken the week of the contest and must conform to DVXUser's terms of service: No porn, no politics, no personal attacks... Interpret how you will :)

One viewable image... you can stack a hundred pics I would say... it's just one viewable image... so if what you see on the screen could be a picture on your wall then I'd say you're good.

To rule this out would mean no astrophotography and no strobed effects... astrophotography uses a ton of shots stacked... and really there's not that much difference in that and a really long exposure.

So if that's what you meant then I'd say you're good... of course I could be wrong... but if it was up to me then I'd say no problems. It's not like that gives you an unfair advantage or guarantees a better picture then somebody else...
