Calendar competition

this is great :] I have a few old pictures i could submit to this. I hope they are nice enough

[abusive and unhelpful content deleted]

I hope to enter this. But my only worry is how recognisable do the landmarks have to be.

Would a shot of a famous landmark be chosen over a lesser known one?

Or will the photographs be judged soley on photographic qualities.

I know it says that they don't have to be that famous, but I just want to make doubley sure.

thanks!

i hope they don't need to be famous cause i live in milwaukee and well, i got lake michigan....

Check out pics from http://imakokode.org/ to get some inspiration. From the pic on the left you can find 'photos' on one of the tiles.. A lot of nice shots from nice locations. And most annoying thumbnail scrolling ever.

WOW! thanks for the link Antti! The photos are amazing I feel inspired and everything!

Though the scroller... is a "*&$$!!* nuisance! (lookie! i censored myself all on my own! aren't I family-friendly?).

Haven't seen Julien's website before... thanks!

It's lovely, with lovely pics...


Looking forward to seeing the entries for this... I'm predicting beautiful things from Antti, Julien, Ry and Synge

Hey all, took some drunken (well tipsy!!! safety first!) pictures a couple weeks ago, because you can only see the fire and shapes in the I dont think they will qualify for wonderful locations to do poi!! (unless "in the dark" is a good location!!) But I would love to hear any feedback on them at www.myspace.com/robloonampoi

Peace everyone, and hugs too!

(as in, I want to enter too but i just realised I cant get into my damn portable hard drive )

Sure, you've got months... buy a hammer

So where do we send the entry's to agian ?

From http://www.homeofpoi.com/articles/photo_calendar.php ...
"The submissions page will be added over the next few months and will be linked from this page"

Still awaiting that I guess

Dumb question, but:

where do we submit them to? I can't see to find a link on the page for the competition

It's not that we've been slack or anything, but we have had a lot of things on the go so the entry portal is still not done
*hangs head in shame*

We will have it up within a few weeks, maybe earlier.

Out of interest, what's with the Draconian rules on post-processing? I can understand you not wanting entirely fabricated photoshop flames, but - only cropping allowed? What, so no noise reduction, not even a little boost in contrast allowed? There are a lot of adjustments which are necessary for enhancing the image, especially when you're photographing flames at nighttime, I was just wondering why they're not allowed?

right, so today I got a few pictures (and odd looks) doing cone poi on the great wall. I have 2 fire pics from yangshuo that I'd consider entering, and tomorrow, I'm going to try for Tian'amen square and the forbidden city.

The daylight pics aren't particularly artsy, but its got the basic criteria down

so about this entry portal.... there's only a month to go until the deadline right?

yep! It's coming...
(very soon now - Malcolm's almost finished it - mere days, or even hours away)
[but maybe we should leave it off a bit longer to build the suspense??!]
