Hey guys, so there have been some song compos, so I figured why not a photography one? It's much easier for everyone to participate too!
So everyone has until the end of the month (Jan. 31st.) to submit a photo that they have taken, and believe conveys a strong sense of atmosphere.
More than just being fun, I think there's a lot to learn here. When looking through everyone's submissions we might start to grasp that intangible "feel" that gives a place (and a well executed image of that place) atmosphere.
So here a quick FAQ/Rules:1. No Photoshop; I think this compo should be about trying to capture real atmosphere, not creating artificial atmosphere from pictures that lack it (this could make a good follow-up compo, though)
2. Any camera is allowed, even cellphone/iPhone ones assuming the picture isn't total crap.
3. Submissions: just post your image in this thread, 1 image per person max; a small description of it, and why you think it has atmosphere/the atmosphere you were trying to capture; I don't want to say the writing is required, but I
really think everyone should do it;
4. You ARE allowed to post pictures you've taken before this compo. I think this will allow more people to enter, but if enough people want me to change this one I'd be open to the idea. I think it would improve the quality of everyone's entries too, as most of us have taken some beautiful pictures at some point.
5. I really don't think I should have to say this, but this is the internet, so: ONLY SUBMIT YOUR OWN PHOTOS. I'll just have to take everyone's word on this, so please be respectful here.
EDIT: You are allowed to crop your photos, but let me challenge you to try and take one that doesn't require it!
Get those shutters snappin' TIGers!!!
