Ladies and Gentleman, i would like to welcome you to our 4th Photography contest!! This month's theme is chosen by our very own Zex! Winner of the last photography contest! Now besides the theme not being dictated by me, we also have another change to this contest!

Some members think that it's not fair that i get to see the submissions before hand yet get to participate in the contest, i totally understand that it's a concern to some and i don't blame them, so i got Markie, a good friend of mine to help run this contest. Instead of sending submissions to me like you guys have always done. You will send them to him and he'll forward those PM's to me at the contest deadline.

This fourth contest will run from Nov.13 to Dec.12

Now the usual rules.

Here is how it's going to work, submission will be sent to Markie via private message, he will then forward the PMs to me at the contest deadline. I will personally strip the EXIF data and send them to AlPi via email after the contest ends to post on his site to prevent further compression lost. Once that is done, i will make a new thread with pictures posted anonymously for voting by regular members of the photography forum. Me and Zex is coming up with a new way to vote so keep your eyes peel'd for a new thread.

Contest Theme: Expressions.
Prize- 500fg donated by me
945fg donated by Onepagememory ( )


We're splitting the pot between three winners in 60:30:10 ratios.

• 1st Place- TBP
• 2nd Place- TBP
• 3rd Place- TBP
• ***For any reason that we get a tied between first, second, or third. The tieing position pots will be combined and split into two equal prizes.

Total pot currently: 1445 fg!!

Rules-

• Picture must be taken by YOU.
• Picture must be taken within the contest time frame.
• Only ONE submission per contest.
• EXIF data must be intact with date/time the shot was taken along with other technical details (Focal length, Aperature, shutter speed etc).
• Please resize image to long edge of 1024 pixels and 1024 only! Not 600, not 800 but 1024!.

*Please keep post-processing to a minimal, it's a contest for photography, not image editing.

Also, I'm pretty sure Zex is okay to mediate this contest too so if you wanna contribute to the pot, leave a note here and send him the fg

First.

Expressions? Well looks like I'm out for this one.

LOL such a spammer.



Why's that? Seems pretty interesting to me, i've already got a few awesome ideas.

I know onepagememory is definitely doing this one!

People are the most interesting subject in the world.
