SO Photography Contest Discussion!!

[IAMTHOUGHTS]

i also had a fog entry SA. so my biased vote is to keep it!

what about a 2 part theme, like one or the other? two themes at one time and the photographer chooses what one they want to use....

example: "Fog or Ice"

 

[felix]

as long as we keep ice. i held back from submitting it for the last one, cos of its cool iciness.

it's a winner, i tell thee! :D

great ideas up above. i'm especially intrigued by johnny1's 'guerrilla photo challenge' idea

 

[atri]

i has a fog pic

 

[felix]

"fog or ice" ftw %)

I like that idea.

"Life or Death" would also be another good one.

I think there could be a lot of possibilities with the either or theme tbh.

public voting ftw (and entertainment value)

 

[SA]

Okay, so... "Fog or Ice" and "The Colour Pink or Purple"?

I'm not entirely convinced that we should make every single round an "or" round, but to maximise participation in otherwise similar themes, combining them might not be a bad idea.

 

[atri]

can we get an updated list SA?

also i want to suggest "speed"

 

[SA]

What sort of list, atri. (just to be sure)

Speed is a good one.

 

[atri]

upcoming themes

 

[SA]

I'll try to compile one this evening, atri.

 

[Dave]

Or maybe he meant that as a suggestion. Like a restricted Photographer's Choice, where the themes are the listed Upcoming Themes?

Or maybe I should finish my coffee before I post?

 

[DG]

- Catching the police or other law enforcement in an embarrassing or stupid act (photog is not allowed to put himself/herself at risk of arrest or beating).

Where I live we are not allowed to take photographs on the public transit or of law enforcement. something to do with 9/11...

SA- what say you on the public voting :D

 

[tribal girl]

I for one wasn't suggesting it should be the case for every round. I just think it would keep things interesting if we do an "or" round every now and then.

huh?

i just need to know what i should be looking for in pictures. thanks SA!

What public voting, DG? I saw tambo-man mention it earlier, but wasn't quite sure.

 

[DG]

Oh a few of us replied to him saying we want it too :D

 

[SA]

No, I meant public voting on what? On whether to do "or" themes or not? On what themes to bring out next? Sorry, that's the part I wasn't sure about. In any event, I think most can be accommodated without the need for a vote. Whatever makes people happy though.

 

[felix]

^ definitely referring to public voting in the photo contests.

 

[SA]

I must have killed the remainder of my brain cells during the holidays. So you mean we should make the voting rounds public, as in being able to see who voted for whom?
