slughunter Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... I got one, lol say you enter a game cam picture but then you get a better on when the contest is still going on, will you be able to change it before the end. also, can we enter a game cam video? I think that would be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shutter Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... here is an easy (perhaps the easiest?) way to resize your photos online. http://www.lan-lord.net/photo_resize.aspx It has a one-click resize (defaults to 640 pixels), or you can customize how big/small you want them. For this contest you would need to use the custom resize option, and enter 504 (7inches x 72dpi) pixels for the maximum size. Here is one that I just resized (using custom resize @ 504 pixels) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetailtrax Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... Any thoughts about having seperate categories in the hand-held contest for true amatures, and the handful of professional or semi-pro photographers that enter the contest. Hard for the average Joe to compete with that level of skill and equipment. I would consider a pro/semi-pro as anyone who proclaims to be a porfessional photogropher or anyone that has ever been hired for their photography skills, sold personal photographs, has a web page dedicated to their photography, had their photographs published in magazines, etc. Basically those people know who they are and it would be based on honesty. Anyway, just a thought. Although all the photos submitted last year were awesome, I was actually more impressed with the true amature photos than I was with the more professional grade shots.

VermontHunter Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... I'm definately NO professional, and I definately don't have the money for high end equipment,, but I must say I've been having a blast trying to get some quality photo's,,,, and I think that's Bill's true intent with this contest, is to get more folks involved in photography and nature no matter what skill level or equipment they may have.....

billkay Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... Unfortunately I don't think it would be worth the hassle of adding an additional "Pro" category. As it is now is about all I want to take on. Sorry. Honesly, I don't think we have any true professionals on here. And yes, YOU must be the who took the photograph and be able to prove it if asked.

JamesVee Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... I was flipping through all of the pictures I have on my computer and realized I had a couple hundred from when I was working in Africa. It just so happened I found a pic I really enjoyed. But thank you VermontHunter. I know a lot of guys got a kick out of the trail cam of the one fawn mounting the other, but I've got so many trail cam pics that I havent decided on an entry as of yet. I think I've go it narrowed between the two fawns, or when my brother was in the tree with a nice buck under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whitetailarcher Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... Do handheld cameras include video cameras? I have some pretty nice frozen frames from video cameras, not as good of qualitie as regular ones but still not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Re: Photo Contest ?\'s, Comments... A still image is a still image. As long as it was a "Photo" taken with the video camera, it's ok. If it's a frame from a video, probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
