Happy shooting, all!

Geez, now it's more disturbing... :D
 

Kudos to Emjay for this! Seems to me that the PENTAX group is the most happening right now in the whole forum. Need to get my gear ready and start shooting some street photos again lol!

It's time for our monthly outing again. As promised during last outing, we'd have a photo contest this month. This is our very first photo contest. We will try to organize one every year from now on.

The Rules:
The photo has to be taken by a Pentax digital camera (compact or dSLR). There is no restriction on lens used. Sorry, Samsung dSLR cameras are not valid.
The photo has to be taken in Singapore
The photo has to be taken on 26 Feb 2011 between 0:00am to 11:59pm.
Each person can submit up to two photos
Each person can vote once only, and you don't need to be a Pentax user to vote
Photo size: 1000 pixels on the longer side.
No watermark or signature is allowed on submitted photos.
EXIF should remain intact for all submissions. Photos w/o EXIF will be ignored. Original photos (JPG or RAW) will be needed for those shortlisted photos.


The guidelines:
This is a self-organized photo contest, the committees are a few oldies here. So every Pentaxian can participate, including the committee members and Emjay staff.
The contest winners will be purely based on online polls, but the shortlisted ones will be decided by the the panel. Please don't post your photos anywhere before the contest ends, so we can keep the contest anonymous. I'll consolidate all the photos submitted, and post the shortlisted ones under one thread myself.


------------------
There won't be a physical gathering this round. But you are welcome to make some small groups by yourselves. Just go out and shoot for fun.


That's all for now. We'll work out the details later, and update here.

Good luck to all Pentaxians!


hey fw - not sure if its been provided, but what's the process to submit the photos?
 

FW, Great info thanks :thumbsup:
Just curious is PP allow? Or must be straight out from camera and just resize?

Sorry we haven't finalized the procedure yet. But it's more or less like this:
1. You need to send your entry (a processed photo with size of 1000 pixels in length or height) by email to either me or someone in the commitee.
2. The judge panel will decide and choose the short listed 20 or 30 photos.
3. Then we'd ask the short listed photographers to send in the originals for verification.
4. After this is done, I'd post the short listed photos under one thread so everyone can start to vote.
5. Whoever gets the top score wins.

Yes, post processing is allowed, but please don't try some tricks like merging two or more photos into one unless it's a panorama or HDR. Better just process based on one photo if possible :)

Perhaps basic processing allowed like contrast & brightness???
Most of us are not the software whiz type leh.:bsmilie:
