The Photography Forums Photo Competition round 4

Subject is Double Take (Make me look twice)

Closing date 18.00 on the 03rd July

Please send your entry to competition@thephotographyforums.com

Rules and how to enter

Your entry should be reduced to no bigger than 600 pixels along its longest edge. This includes any borders that you may or may not want to add. The size restriction will help protect the images from being stolen/copied and also ensure that all pictures are viewed under the same restrictions.

Panoramics are allowed up to a max dimension of 1000pixels, the competition gallery will accept this size, admin discretion applies if we dont think the image is a true panoramic!!

Post processing and “Photoshop” work can be applied but please do not put your name or forum alias on the picture anywhere, the whole of the voting system relies on members not knowing which entry belongs to which member.

All photos submitted should ideally be shot for the competition, the aim is to improve. Submitting old photographs is not going to help you do that. If you require critique on an older photograph just make a post in the member’s gallery on the forums and we will do our best to oblige.

All members who enter must vote, any member who chooses not to vote will have their entry disqualified and any votes that have been received for that submission will be awarded to the next in line.

Once you have your entry ready (only one per member and once submitted no changes will be allowed), send it via email to competition@thephotographyforums.com and include your forum name. Any entries received that are to big, have names on the photo itself, do not have the members name included with the email, or that are received after the closing date will be rejected.

The closing date for the round will be posted in the round competition thread. Any entries not in by that date will be disallowed.

Once the closing date has passed, all the entries will be numbered and displayed in a “Competition Gallery” for all to view. All members will then have 7days to vote on their favourite three photos using the forums PRIVATE MESSAGE system. Votes for your own entry will again be disallowed and anyone suspected of cheating will have their entry removed from this round of the competition.

Whoever is handling the running of round can be contacted by Private Message if you have any specific questions that you may not want to ask on the forums. You will also need to contact that person by PM with your votes once the entries are displayed. Any other questions/comments can be posted in the competition thread.

Matty has kindly offered to handle this round of the competition so if it goes all wrong we can blame him

Good luck to everyone..let the fun begin.

Double Take??? What the heck does that mean Steve?lol. Are we going for shock value in this round? Or does the pic have to be absolutely "pictureperfect? Oh well I've been meaning to update my "selfportrait" of myself anyways seeing as I have a new camera, he he he :P

Cheers, jules.

Just to clarify, I'm sure the comp was going to go with the new size guideline this round, 800pix longest side?

Nope, the comp is sticking with 600pix unless you submit a panoramic which can be upto 1000pix and accepted at the admins discretion.

It can be whatever you think it should be, the judging isnt restricted to just a couple of people, its all of us who will judge it so it will be what we ALL think of the picture....so dont worry, lol

Matty · 12-06-2005, 10:26

First entry for the round has now been received, so the email is working!

***Steve*** · 19-06-2005, 09:31

How is everyone doing with this round, finding it easy or extreamly difficult?

I have not had chance to get out with the camera since a few of us were at Silverstone but I also have not got a clue as to what I can photograph subject wise to fit this theme.

Quite tough, but once I saw my shot I thought it fitted in quite well. Hopefully makes a viewer look twice.

Having missed the last round I was determined to make time to go out and shoot something but I've really drawn a blank in the inspiration department. Still, a few days to go.

***Steve*** · 20-06-2005, 11:09

Well I am glad to say that I have a suitable entry now. It may not be a winner but it does definately fit the theme and at least I will be able to enter something

I know how much hassel you guys would give me if I didn't submit an entry.

Matty · 20-06-2005, 13:08
