    I have three ideas: Out of the camera as is -- no cropping, no post production. Only Lightroom adjustments, and finally photoshop galore.

    What about contests where the focus is some particular lighting technique?

    How about a contest where the focus is eyes, or hair? Another interesting one (imnsho) is shoulders and neck.

    In case it hasn't already been addressed, I would like to suggest nominating photos for contests.
    sedetweiler VIP member 5 months ago
    That is a great idea! Let me ponder that with Chilly and see what we can come up with.

    I see plenty of acrobatic or limber poses.....maybe you could do one revolving around contortion and NO SHOEBOXING ?
    sedetweiler VIP member 5 months ago
    that would be a good one. but, I fear that with such a specialization the no-shoebox might make it a very low entry contest.
    pixelfaire 5 months ago
    True....which would also indicate if there was shoeboxing it would simply be a contest of old photos.

    Want to offer up a prize of some sort to motivate peeps?

    Would you consider having a solarization contest? Perhaps other contests based on technique rather than subject?
    sedetweiler VIP member 6 months ago
    In truth, I don't really care for the effect so unless a lot of folks feel it would benefit their port to shoot and display them, I would probably not offer one.

    Maybe it's too typical or expected, but have a contest for whatever up coming holiday or season? i.e. Halloween is next month, or is Fall just starting.

    Did something happen to the contest page? I didn't see the voting spot - only the finalized competitions.
    sedetweiler VIP member 9 months ago
    It would have been only 12 hours of screwed up. sorry about that.
    PigmentPie 9 months ago
    It's no biggie ;) I forgot I had it anyway. XD

    sedetweiler VIP member 9 months ago

    Has there been a competition for 'falling'?
    PigmentPie 10 months ago
    Different genres for body painting might be historical, comics, animals, Halloween (or other holidays), aliens, mixing of fabric and paint, camoflauge, black and white... There are LOTS of categories! :)
    sedetweiler VIP member 10 months ago
    I like the animal one, that might be very interesting. Halloween will be a good one as well, but that will come in a few months ;-)

    nice :-) a certain music video pops into my head.
    sedetweiler VIP member 11 months ago
    Ok, this one is starting in a few weeks. Great ideas and keep them coming!

    perhaps something along the lines of on-location shooting - shooting by forests, bodies of water, mountains, etc.
    sedetweiler VIP member 11 months ago
    we just did the barn one, which turned out well. what if we did one with the moon as an idea?

    Duct duct duct... GOOSE. Photos with duct tape, goose feathers, or someone being goosed. Bonus points for combining all three. :)

    one more...
    ... random genre combos?

    or...
    ... so wrong that it's just so right... you know, when you see an image that makes you go, "whoa... hah... that's a little nuts, but i wouldn't change a thing!"
  • KatieDamronPotter VIP member

    ooh! here's an idea...
    ... what about a "how much do you actually rock BEFORE photoshop?" just curious because i'm a firm believe in nailing the RAW image (or JPEG/NEF/OFF/etc.) out of the camera and then using photoshop to tweak the image. i wanna see what ya'll can do with your camera, lens, lights, filters... whatever... but NO POST!

    Holiday Competition
    Hi Scott

    After two days of contemplation I decided to ask why my shot was not entered in the Holiday Competition. I posted the shot over and over again approximately (6) times and every time I posted it the little green box would pop up and say the shot had been entered in the competition, but when I would open the entry page it wouldn't show it. So I figured it was just a fubar of some kind, but when I opened the voting page my shot wasn't there.
