(A special mention to wenchbabe and gryffyn, who were both only one day short of qualifying for the big prize.)
And so finally, after all of my typing and your reading, the final winner by draw of “The Great Photography Competition” is…
I’m guessing that she’s naturally short. She’s holding the pole lower than a ‘normal’ person and it would be a lot of effort to photoshop the background garage door, shorten her and apply a replacement shadow.
I would like to remind/invite everyone reading this that there is a REGULAR forum thread, updated each month, that encourages you to stretch your photography accumen.
And, the most-posted thread in the Photography section (if not ALL OF SITEPOINT) is the every popular What Is It?
thanks everybody, lucky number 7 and the draw. good work from everyone else, really enjoyed going out everyday too on a mission. reminded me of high school photography almost 20 years ago!
learnt a lot from Shaun(OfTheDead), thanks heaps there, appreciate the critique. Thanks to Hawk for orgainising and setting the mission everyday.
can we do it all again soon? next year? tanoshikata:)
I’d really like to do this contest again. I had so much fun getting a mission everyday. My 5 year old really liked it too. He would say “What do you have to take pictures of today mommy?” So I hope you’ll do this again or something similar. I certainly learned a lot just in taking a ton of photos and having them be critiqued by the judge. Thanks!
Congrats simonnz, all your shots were top notch - a very deserving winner
Really enjoyed this competition, been a real adventure for me. Took time off work and put a lot of effort in, and definitely learnt a lot. Thanks for organising HAWK/Shaun and will keep my eyes peeled for any other adventurous opportunities!
