JUDGING

bia37 & TallJohn + Club Admins will select the best 30 submissions based upon the following criteria, we will not discriminate against the quality of the camera, ive seen many great hdrs come from non slrs, it just requires some extra effort.

1) size of the image @ full-view.
2) originality
3) relation to topic
4) colour/visual balance
5) dynamic range
6) clarity
7) tone & saturations
8) angle & perspective
9) title & description

After they have been selected they will be on display and votes will be collected from CLUB MEMBERS.

You cannot vote on your own work & legitement votes would help keep this competition fair.

The competition will begin: 02/06/08 @ 00:00
No submissions will be accepted after: 22/06/08 @ 23:59


Notes:

1) do not be discouraged if you werent selected we cant accept everyone nor does it mean your work isnt good, we have to select the best of the best of 900 possible member submissions.
2) if all goes smooth it wont be long until the next competition so just practice for that, dont be afraid of crit!
3) resizing images in photoshop so they are viewed on screen correctly @ 100% is a bonus. this means it fits nicely (not too small) on the average monitor in full view, and was that exact size when viewd 100% before its uploaded. By letting DA choose the width it causes clarity loss in the image.
4)Any questions should be directed to the staff in note form with the subject "Contest Question".

Good luck!
