Last Photographer Standing #2 (Stately or Humble) - Entry thread

***DoctorIt*** · Mar-18-2007, 06:25 PM

Last Photographer Standing Contest Qualifying Round #2

The Dgrin Last Photographer Contest is well under way now, after a successful first round! This is Contest #2, a qualifying round. This round is open to any dgrin member! It will run from Monday, March 19th 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5) to Monday, April 2nd 00:01 (12:01am), NYC time (GMT -5)

The topic ready for your interpretation: Stately or Humble.

Shay says:

In your minds eye, when you think of "stately", what images come into view? Perhaps the word "humble" sparks more possibilities for you. Find the theme that moves you the most emotionally and see where it takes you. Just remember, there are other photographers out there working on the opposite theme hoping to take your spot as a semifinalist, so your work has to visually stand up to some heavy competition, make it your best!

The dual theme is designed to spark interesting visual contrast in the challenge entries. The viewers should be treated to an exciting and non-predictable viewing experience. It should also serve to stimulate and inspire other photographers to enter the contest. What we are going for is nothing short of visual overload! So make it your best!

This thread, is the one into which you post your entry. Remember, 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Entries must have exif embedded or appended. Click here and here for help. Photos entered without proper exif showing a clear shot date will be disqualified.

***EVERYONE: many people are not linking to exif, please, it's so easy! There is no excuse for any SmugMug hosted image entry not having a simple link to exif. Here's the simple simple version of how:

Use this generic url to get exif for ANY of your images, where YOU replace the part in {brackets}:

Code:

http://{username}.smugmug.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID={image ID number}

*Image ID number is just the SmugMug number, not the -L or -M, or any size suffix. For example:
http://doctorit.smugmug.com/photos/n...geID=128587481

Thank you

**Shay Stephens** · Mar-18-2007, 08:03 PM

We again have the distinct privilege of having a panel of judges with a wide range of talent for our next qualifying round.

Yuri Pautov: http://pautov.viplast.ru/
An accomplished photographer probably best known for his engaging portraits and stunning headshots. Yuri really brings to life the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Khaos: http://galleries.creativekhaos.com/
Prepare for bold colors and unexpected compositions that make you wonder if you are crawling or flying like a bird. His work shows an inspirational ability to show the world dramatically in every shot.

digital faerie: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=23700
Her gift to find and draw out fantasy in photography yields some amazing pieces of art that would not be out of place as movie backgrounds or gracing the covers of art books.

angelo: http://www.angelo.smugmug.com/
Angelo's work first strikes you with its bold graphic design feel with themes of shapes, textures, and colors. Visual balance draws the eye and has a way of keeping it there.

DoctorIt: http://www.erikm.net/
Our contest and challenges moderator and all around contest director. You know him, you love him, what would life be like without him :-)

Shay Stephens: http://www.shaystephens.com
I will be be judging as well.

I invite you all to explore their websites or posts. They will be on the panel of judges that selects the top ten photos for this first qualifying round.
