73. Love is like a Butterfly
Contest goal:
We all have a song that speaks to us; that perks us up when we’re down or consoles us when we’re sad. Maybe we just like rocking out to it or getting jiggy in the club. In any event, take your favorite song and illustrate it through photography. I’ve seen this used as Photoshop contest in the past and, to be frank, I think we can do better! Any song is acceptable, but try to keep it somewhat mainstream (“Random Indy Band X” may not be recognizable to everyone and, therefore, decrease the impact your photo has on the viewer). Finally, be sure to include the song name, artist’s name, and lyrics in the description (you only need the stanza/line that you are depicting in the photograph). Best of luck!

72. John 3:16
Contest goal:
One of the first rules many photographers are taught is to ‘shoot with the sun behind you’ to ensure a well lit subject. However rules are meant to be broken and this is no exception- shooting a portrait subject (and other subjects too) with some nice back lighting can create some beautiful effects. So the challenge is to shoot a portrait with back lighting (light coming from behind your subject). This doesn’t mean that the only light in your shot needs to be from behind. You need to balance it with other light (natural, reflected or artificial). As a portrait, some of the features of the subject need to be recognizable, they do not need to be lighted as brightly as the back, but some sort of ‘fill-light’ is needed. NO SILHOUETTES!

70. July 4th

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We need to work to pay the bills, but we don’t want to work all day, every day. Every now and then we need a break. So, we look forward to, and take vacations! Take a shot of people who look like they are on vacation. You might pick a crowd with one who stands out, or simply an old couple on a cruise. Are they on a metaphoric vacation (sleeping in all day, surfing the internet and eating cold pizza and warm beer)? If it’s not obvious, please give a description why it’s your definition of ‘on vacation’. Animals in the shot are ok, but you must have at least one person. Have fun!

Making a digital pinhole camera is simple and the results can be quite pleasing. There are several ways to do it but here is a nice tutorial. For this contest make your own DIGITAL pinhole camera and take a picture of any subject. A 2 part SBS is mandatory for this. 1st part, you must show your DIY pinhole lens. 2nd you must show your original unedited image. Voters keep in mind that because there is no actual lens there is no way to focus your image therefore all pinhole images will have a definitive softness to them. Vote on image content, composition, and overall feel and not on sharpness.

40. F*ck the police!
Contest goal:
One of the first rules many photographers are taught is to ‘shoot with the sun behind you’ to ensure a well lit subject. However rules are meant to be broken and this is no exception- shooting a portrait subject (and other subjects too) with some nice back lighting can create some beautiful effects. So the challenge is to shoot a portrait with back lighting (light coming from behind your subject). This doesn’t mean that the only light in your shot needs to be from behind. You need to balance it with other light (natural, reflected or artificial). As a portrait, some of the features of the subject need to be recognizable, they do not need to be lighted as brightly as the back, but some sort of ‘fill-light’ is needed. NO SILHOUETTES!

Contest goal:
This is a contest to encourage participation in the Pxleyes HDR Grid. HDR photography can be achieved with even a simple digital “point and shoot” camera. Here is a good tutorial at Abduzeedo. The goal, to take 3 photos (all 3 must be shown in an SBS) and create an HDR image with them. The use of an image editor, like Photomatrix or Photoshop must be only be used for tonal adjustments. No other manipulations like burn or dodge are allowed. Another HDR tutorial can be found here.

3. Still got the blues.
Contest goal:
We all have a song that speaks to us; that perks us up when we’re down or consoles us when we’re sad. Maybe we just like rocking out to it or getting jiggy in the club. In any event, take your favorite song and illustrate it through photography. I’ve seen this used as Photoshop contest in the past and, to be frank, I think we can do better! Any song is acceptable, but try to keep it somewhat mainstream (“Random Indy Band X” may not be recognizable to everyone and, therefore, decrease the impact your photo has on the viewer). Finally, be sure to include the song name, artist’s name, and lyrics in the description (you only need the stanza/line that you are depicting in the photograph). Best of luck!

2. After his worm lunch
Contest goal:
Every animal must sleep. Some people want eight or ten hours a day, while others get by with five or six. Whatever the amount of time, it’s your chance to have a stationary model! Capture someone while they are asleep! It could be a baby, adult, an elder… or, why not, your pet! But the subject must be, in fact, asleep! Any entry that has more than one person/animal in it and shows one awake will be considered off theme.
