New Years Capture Photography Contest [NYE THREAD]
 

New Years Capture Photography Contest


Huge thank you to Forever for the CSS!

Do you think you're an average photographer? Or a really good one? Show off your skills here in the Christmas photography contest! Winners of each round will recieve an emblem, as well as the participants.

We'll only have one round due to the time the event is going ahead. You can submit pictures themed around Christmas or New Year, it is up to you.

Round #1: 29th & 1st. Judging occurs on the 2nd.

Rules

→ You have to take the photo. Nobody else is allowed to take it for you.
→ You may edit your photos, however, if you're editing, post the original stock too.
→ You can show a photo you've taken at any point in your life, as long as it matches the theme.
→ Please put photos over 900px x 800px in spoilers.
→ Have fun!

What are the rounds?


Round #1: Christmas & Celebration


For this round, all you need to do is take a photo of something related to Christmas. This could be a toy santa, a snow dome, a candy cane, anything really that reminds people of Christmas. As well as this, you can center your photo around New Year with the theme celebration. Nothing to stop you from getting that camera out when the partying kicks off. Remember, anyone can enter this round.


Photos?


Photo - Username - Pixels

Example / Forever / 10px x 10px

Good luck!

While taking the decorations off my Christmas Tree, I thought the tinsel looked nice so I took a photo of it. (Hopefully I uploaded it in time.)

PLEASE NOTE!

The event has slightly changed to allow for you to have more time to choose your entry. There is only one round now and the theme is Christmas OR New Years (Celebration).

Sorry for this but Me and Forever thought this would be the best way to allow for more time.

The final submission date is the 1ST JANUARY!

PKMN Trainer Alison - If you would like to choose a different picture or want more time, that is fine. Just remove your picture from the spoiler. If you are happy with it, then good luck =]

I've been shooting film lately and don't have the processed or scanned atm, not sure if there's anything that'd fit this category, so I'll go out and shoot some digital with this in mind before the deadline.

I am sure you can come across something that fits the categories. =]

Good luck everyone.

I think I'll give this a shot. I snapped this photo yesterday at work with my phone camera. (it's 8MP) and thought it was holiday-ish. I mean seriously, look and see the Christmas miracle. :P

Well, my favorite Christmas/New Years was my one and only visit to Disney World last year (or two). The way they decorated the castle for the Christmas-time was great, and the fact that they finished the night with fireworks made it an amazing experience (didn't do fireworks because i thought it looks a lot more majestic this way).

Not close enough to firework + Zoomed in phone camera + Forgot to put it on 5mpx which would have prolly made the quality better = Quite fail picture, sorry :(

Captain Fabio January 1st, 2011 8:01 AM

Since judging doesn't take that long, the contest is going to be open for a bit longer to allow people to upload their pictures.

Bluerang1 January 1st, 2011 11:05 AM

Really? Hmm, maybe I can get something better in then :) Thanks!

I am afraid not.
You have to select one picture that falls under one of the two themes.

I will close the contest tomorrow afternoon once I get in contact with Nica.

Captain Fabio January 2nd, 2011 5:35 AM

Will wait a few more hours and then will close the contest.

Good luck guys!
