    Sadly it will be in the beginning of October. RL has become crazy busy for me and won't let up until then :(

    EDIT: If anyone else wants to run the next one for me shoot me an in-game PM

    [size="4"]Welcome to IRON’s 1st photography contest! This contest is designed for us to just have fun, and get to know each other a little more. Depending on how much of you participate will help us decide on running this contest once a month with different themes. So hopefully by having this contest open to all alliances we can get everyone to join in on the fun!

    To keep things fun we have split the contest into different groups. The 1st group will be the “professional” group. If you have had formal training, or feel that your skills belong here then sign up for this group. Also, anyone using an SLR or DSLR camera [u]with interchangeable lenses[/u] should sign up for the pro group. The 2nd group will be the “point and shoot” group. This group is for anyone with a basic/normal point and shoot camera that isn’t considered a pro. The last group is the “cell phone” group. If the only camera you got (or are going to use) is your cell phone’s then sign up for this group. If you are having trouble picking a group, just contact me via [url=http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=261033]in-game PM[/url] with your camera model and what you feel your skill level is.

    For the 1st round the theme will be where you are from. You can submit a photo of your city/town, an iconic building, an animal/plant that is only found in your area, or even a random person/politician who represents your town. Pretty much anything is ok (including panoramas) just as long as it represents where you are from, and you are the one taking the photo.

    You are allowed to submit up too 2 photos in JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, or TIFF formats. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about: if you can see the photo on your comp then your good to go :). For the pros: part of your judging will be in how well you convert your photos (if nessarry) so if you do have to convert them (i.e. from RAW to JPEG) let us know in the e-mail of your submission!

    When it comes to photo manipulation just remember that this is a photography contest, and not a photoshop contest :). Almost any kind of edit goes (i.e. cropping, resizing, watermarking, etc.), but keep in mind that you can reach a point when your photo will actually look worse with too much editing.

    To submit your photos, attach them in an e-mail to ibpstaff@yahoo.com with the subject as “IRON Photo contest”. In the e-mail body place your ruler name and nation link along with a short description of the photo(s) and what the camera was that you used to take the photo with. For the [u]professional group[/u] entries we would also like the settings you used to take the photo and the photo(s) [u]must be[/u] 3MP or larger. Also in your e-mail note what group you are submitting for (cell phone, point and shoot, or pro).

    Judging will be done by myself and NotAdolfHitler (for obvious reasons we are excluded from participating in the contest). We will be looking at composition, creativity, difficulty, camera used (if the camera is doing all the work then points will be deducted), attractability, and awesomeness :D.

    This round will begin now and finish on August 9th 2010, so you will have plenty of time to take your photos and edit/convert them (if necessary).

    Now get out there and start taking some photos!!!

    Oh and I almost forgot, there will be prizes![/size]

    trs4ece and stockhunter from IRON both deserve props. TRS for the nice blitz and stock for popping my nuke cherry. Both showed class and humour in our PMs...
