*perks up ears*
What? A photo contest!? !! I want in! What’s the last day for submissions? How many submissions per person? Does the “wildlife” have to be in the wild or do captive wild animals count? Picture dimentions? This sounds fun!Ummm… I think that Art will want to determine the answers to those questions, since it was her idea. I’ll start a thread with information and directions after the questions are answered, and then after I’ve collected all the pictures within the determined week, I’ll post them and start a poll and y’all can vote for your favorites.
Is that good, Art?Right- do you want this thread moved to the ‘Art Discussion’ forum? I don’t want it to keep bumping questions to Melody down. It might be more at home there. 🙂

Hello good idea I’m going to search it out in that thread, I apologize for being so otherwise occupied.

Since I’ve missed it , or there hasn’t been much discussion about the nature of this contest, I’ll basicly stick to the original plan.
I have a Young Dragon, new, Peacock, perfect speciman;. set aside as the only prize.
One prize=one winner. I think that everyone can operate a camera somewhat, some are not great at it, and some are. It’s an art form in that respect;..except that anyone can be in the right place and time to capture a great moment, or sight.
A photo contest. One photo per person.
I origially thought zoo pics, then I thought wildlife in general. Now I feel more open to more subjects. You can shoot anything suitable for the general audience;..Except : artworks, posed people,
anything truly ugly,death,crime,gangs,no gritty stuff. I want great stuff.
If you see a great car, or building or crowd scene,a racoon on your garbage can, your cat doing something great,(not sleeping please), a brick wall, a traffic jam, someone doing something great, surfers,hang gliders, an artist creating,But not you or a confederate, that’s posed.
A stunt kite, anything that says to you,”this would be a great shot.” Note to those without lots of experience; if your subject permits, shoot at different angles,distance and times if possible.
If your using a camera with manual settings, experiment with different shutter speeds and aperture settings (bracket).
Somehow we need to post these shots all together and I guess we can all vote on them but this will take time if there is a tie.
Also I’m unsure as to how long a period of time should be allowed, to be fair, but not drag this out too long.
Maybe a very quick poll on that and my open idea on subject matter. But then we must roll, I had to take the little guy out of the display case so he wouldn’t sell, I don’t want to have to dust him.
(they hate that).K, and do we send the pictures to GB? And then she will set up all the pics taken? How does that work?
This sounds like ALOT of fun!
OHHHHH, do and should we include a description of the photo…cause there may be a story behind it that will add to the photo…think that can be part of it?? 😀 **ponders the perfect photo** HEHE! 😆 😉Okay, I’ll copy Art’s rules into a new contest thread so everybody can see it and add a time limit of two weeks, plus my e-mail address so you cann each send me your contest photo.
Aw, why bother explaining it here? Lemme go start the thread… 😛
