MAY 2012 - COLOURS

Postby odklizec » Thu May 03, 2012 11:12 am

Thank you all who participated in the April contest (you can vote >here<). Let's start with the May contest! ;)

Theme:
The theme for this month, selected by previous month winner (Athena), is "COLOURS"!

Rules:
You must post one photo right in reply to this post. Please, do not link them from other sites! Use the "Upload Attachment" instead.
The photo must be taken with Ricoh camera!
The max size of the photo is limited to 1200x800 and must contain EXIF!
Please guys, make sure your photo contains EXIF! Entries without EXIF will be disqualified! Tip for LR3 users, make sure the "limit file size" option is disabled during export!
Ricoh film camera entries (without EXIF) are allowed, but only from people with previous forum activity and history (some previously posted Ricoh analog photos).

The deadline for posting contest photos is 31.5.2012 at 12PM forum time

Here you can learn how to upload (please, do not link) the photos right to the forum post...

----------------------------------------------------------
Contest Prizes:
Also this time, there will be some really interesting HW prizes (big thanks to our sponsors Ricoh and Alpha Digital!). Of course, there will be also the usual set of SW prizes from Mediachance and Pixelmator!

The winner will have an option to pick either the HW or SW prize. Winner will also have an option to pick anything from the below listed prizes (just one of them of course;) ).
HW prizes for this month:
- Ricoh GR pin, neck strap
- Ricoh backpack, Ricoh pen, Ricoh stickers, microfiber cloth for lens

SW prizes for this month:
- SILKYPIX Developer Studio, kindly provided by Ichikawa soft laboratory.
- Pixelmator - Image and Photo editor for Mac OS X, kindly provided by Pixelmator developers.
Or any of these, kindly provided by Mediachance...
- Dynamic Auto Painter
- Dynamic Photo HDR
- PhotoBrush
- DCE AutoEnhance
- Pure Image NR

In addition, the winner will be honored to suggest a contest theme for next month!

Good luck everyone!

PS: Please folks, give your photos a reasonable tittle! The best would be to enter the tittle in the "File Comment" box along with your uploaded photo. At the end of each month I'm hunting for the titles over your posts and sometime I have no other option than to use "unnamed", which is somewhat silly title ;)

Gab,
your picture reminded me of a poem by a Scot by the name of Alastair Reid. I hope nobody minds my intruding with his words on this competition thread...

The Colour of Herring.

I read in the fishbooks that the herring
is black-backed and silver-sided,
is blue-flecked and silver-faceted,
is gray-green shot with silver,
is black and green and silver,
is blue and glass.
I find the herring in my hands
has all the silver of the evening,
all the blue of the bay,
all the green of the deep sea over the side.
The black may easily be in my mood.
The silver certainly flakes my sleeve.
But over my hands in its dying moment spills
the herring's blood
which, silver, green, black and blue aside,
runs unmistakably red.


Seems to fit the thread fine though! :)
