Now that summer is here, I'm ready to do another one. The last contest was outdoor/nature. The next subject is architecture.

This is how it will work:

1. You can submit 5 photos. They can be black & white or color.

2. You have until August 31st to submit your photo. You have all summer. Voting starts Sept. 12th.

3. To submit your photos and view them, go to http://photocontest.the-depths-of-hell.com/ and create an account.

If you have any questions or comments, please post them in this thread.

E's Lil Theorem · May 27, 2005, 06:55 PM

Nifty. While I didn't participate in the other one, I enjoyed most of them.

Which one did you get?

I want a new camera, but I'm debating whether to get a digi.camcorder or a regular digi.cam. Decisions, decisions...

ThinkInsane · May 27, 2005, 07:00 PM

Funny you should mention it, I was thinking about hat just today and trying to remember who did the last one. I'm all for it. Lots of great shots in the last one.

Demonhood · May 27, 2005, 07:27 PM

Canon 350D (Digital Rebel XT). 8MP. a few bells and whistles. i found a really good deal i just couldn't pass up.

like Think, i really enjoyed all the shots last year. looking forward to seeing what you bunch submit this go around.

d4nth3m4n · May 27, 2005, 07:52 PM

i'm in for filler purposes only.

Whoa! Pimp!

From what I've read, that's a really nice camera. Congrats

alligator · May 27, 2005, 08:42 PM

Is anyone going to chip in for a prize? There should be something for the winner. Of course, I'll enter even without a prize, but it would make it fun - it doesn't have to be something of significant monetary value.

MrForgetable · May 27, 2005, 09:32 PM

looks like i'll need to get myself a dSLR just for this contest...

Steve · May 27, 2005, 11:29 PM

I'll definetly be shooting all summer and hopefully I can get something that I would be confident enough to submit to the contest.

I'll be shooting with my Christmas gift this year, a Canon G3. Wish I had the funds for a dslr, but other things are more important when I'm in college.

The G3 is more than sufficient. Count this robot in, if I can get some decent shots in before and/or after I send in my D70 for servicing.

Sealobo · May 28, 2005, 01:50 AM

i am in! now where is my camera...

vexborg · May 28, 2005, 03:50 AM

I'm in as well - but around the dates when it's time to judge the photo's I'll be busy planning the last of my wedding, and will actually be a married man at the 17th Agust 2005 at 11:30 GMT

Alezone · May 28, 2005, 06:02 AM

so i have 3 months to get this done.. by then i should have more than a few hundred photos to choose from...

vexborg · May 28, 2005, 06:07 AM

And the photo is sent away...

How about making that thread a sticky?

OreoCookie · May 29, 2005, 06:20 AM

Count me in. I hope I get the chance to take some nice pics.

historylme · May 29, 2005, 11:18 AM

Who won the last one?
Mine was in there, but there were some other great ones that looked really well.

DeathToWindows · May 29, 2005, 11:41 AM

I'm in. I have hundreds of architecture images...

historylme · 01:01 PM

It would be great if we could add comments to individual pictures, but that might be more work for the host. Oh well, I found my picture (since my camera has been acting up) I will use one of my favorites.

It involves an older man helping his granddaughter clim a structure.

- - e r i k - - · May 29, 2005, 05:11 PM

Will the picture be disqualified if it's also posted in this thread?

Nai no Kami · May 29, 2005, 05:35 PM

Count me in! (I missed the other contest)

SSharon · May 29, 2005, 10:47 PM

I was far from winning in the last one, but I'll give it another shot. If only my sister didn't lose my camera, oh well time for a new one I guess.

I wish I had a picture of this building in Haifa, its shaped like a rocket with all reflective windows, its hard to describe but it is really a nice looking building.

t6hawk · May 30, 2005, 12:38 PM

I'm game. Just have to think of a good photo

I hate you. It's official. I'd give my right arm for a 350D. Well, maybe not being that I'm right handed and all and it'd make it a bugger to take pictures but you know what I mean.

A friend of mine just got a Pentax *ist so I might see if I can borrow it for a wee play.

But anyway, I'm in

5. To submit a photo, e-mail it

.

If you have any questions or comments, please post them in this thread.

Send me an email or PM if you'd like to try and setup an image hosting site for the pictures. We'd talked about it last contest but it never happened. I've got more time now if you want to try and get one up.

Yes, but does it have a antenna and a leather case?

von Wrangell · May 31, 2005, 02:20 AM

I'm in.

But how much editing will be allowed?

Jens Peter · May 31, 2005, 02:35 AM

I'm also in. It was fun the last time, allthough I was very far away from winning

Then I just have to find some great architecture during the summer...

Goldfinger · May 31, 2005, 03:06 AM

I'm in. *goes to buy some slide film*

PM sent.

Frida's Boss · May 31, 2005, 01:37 PM

Any chance you would rethink the 1 entry rule?

Demonhood · May 31, 2005, 03:07 PM

if we want people to be able to add comments, i suggest we use Gallery. easy to set up and to customize (see sig).

It'd be nice if you could use it to vote for the images as well. I reckon it's not too difficult a task to implement this.

What is the link to the new hosting?

belafonte · May 31, 2005, 07:55 PM

whose judging?

Scotttheking · Jun 1, 2005, 01:13 AM

Once it's all finished and waxcrash approves it, the link and any updated instructions will be posted here.

If it is done the same way as the last one, the community will judge the photos.

Scotttheking · Jun 2, 2005, 01:09 AM

^^^^ No updates yet, still waiting for info

belafonte · Jun 2, 2005, 01:35 PM

you can only do a community judge if everyone has 1 vote... but there multiple pictures.... so its gonna be hard... and not very accurate, is photoshopping allowed?

waxcrash · Jun 2, 2005, 01:55 PM

Scotttheking has been very generous by donating some web space with Gallery for the contest. I've been playing around with it and it looks like I will post the link very soon. We may modify the rules and allow multiple submissions instead of just one photo. Thanks for everyone's patience.

JoshuaZ · Jun 2, 2005, 05:54 PM

I'm game. As usual.

Scotttheking · Jun 3, 2005, 07:49 PM

I am busy this weekend. With luck sometime Sunday I will finish.

Scotttheking · Jun 8, 2005, 02:37 AM

http://photocontest.the-depths-of-hell.com

Register, submit your photo, and let's get this started.

Up to 5 photos per person allowed.

Submit at a decent resolution. If it's larger than 3MP, it'll automatically be resized down.

Ads? I've heard the occassional click makes Scott happy.

Questions? Here's where to ask.

- - e r i k - - · Jun 8, 2005, 06:03 AM

What a coincidence, I just sent off my submission via mail. When will it appear on the gallery?

Oh, and will someone redesign that ugly looking gallery?

budster101 · Jun 8, 2005, 08:30 AM

I'm in. I don't have a digital camera, but I'll probably pick-up a cheap throw-away camera just for this.

bells0 · Jun 8, 2005, 09:21 AM

Can we sticky this, 3 months is a long time to find a decent shot, am in but will forget if it drops down the board.

Thanks for putting this together and using your own hosting space. I'm really looking forward to this contest.
