91. 3 O’Clock GMT


Contest goal:
One of the fantastic things about this site is that we have people from all over the world. Right now, some are entering spring, while others are entering fall… and still others live in places where the weather doesn’t seem to change much! But one thing we all have in common are the days of the week and the clock. For this contest, take a photo showing someplace in your town on Saturday afternoon at 3:00pm. You’re on your honor, but it will be kind of obviously off-theme if entries show up before Saturday at 3:01 (your local time), or if it’s a night shot etc.

19. Patterns of Nature


Contest goal:
A “pattern” is something that forms a consistent or repetitive arrangement. We are surrounded by patterns in everyday life, but in this contest your entry must be a pattern that occurs without the hand of man involved. Find interesting patterns in nature and share your best with the rest of us…The repeating pattern must not necessarily be exactly the same size each time. (see thumbnail in the contest description) The pattern should fill the entire frame. No other elements should be visible.

17. Stone Man


Contest goal:
It’s time to take some stock photos for others to use. It’s not as easy as you might think to take a good stock photo. There is a reason why some pictures get picked over and over again to be used in art work. Remember to take in to account the light, the background, the focus and subject for your photo. You should also vote for pictures you would really want to use. As a reward the first place winner of this contest will be featured as the next week photo to use in the photoshop contest. Have fun and good luck!

13. Goblet of fire


Contest goal:
We’ve all used this feature and since it’s also a feature that’s allowed to be used, I thought it would be fun who could curve the best photo. Take one of your own photos and curve the colors in a way that can be totally psychedelic or just enhances the image altogether. Anything can be in the shot but it must have been curved and no black and white images. A good tutorial about curving can be found here.

1. Ghost.


Contest goal:
Here is a list of free photoshop plugins. Take any photo you have and apply only one filter. Do not make any other adjustments to the photo except for the one single filter you added in PS or other program. You’re not restricted to the plugins listed on that page… you can use any filter you like best, but only use external filters. ( so no filters that are in PS by default) You must show the original in an SBS and a screen shot of the process while doing it. For example, if you use photoshop, open your filter effects and get the filter to your specified settings and then take a screen shot with it open. Post this picture in the SBS also and state what filter was used. You can take a screen shot by pressing the PrtSc button on your keyboard and then paste it into your program such as Photoshop or even Windows Paint.
