 Round 2
Speed Demon
In this final round we're looking for photos that convey a real sense of speed – be it a person or object perfectly 'frozen' in mid-air, or long shutter speeds and motion blur used to exhilarating effect. And remember: it does not have to be traffic-trails or falling waterdroplets; originality counts too!

 
 Round 2
Feeling Sexy?
A photo with a sexy feel to it, a photo of someone feeling sexy, or anything else you might associate with a sexy feeling; perhaps you can come up with a humorous and surprising interpretation of this theme!
Artistic nudity is ok too, but nothing too naughty please.

 Round 1
The Meaning of Life
What's the meaning of life? A question with many answers and interpretations, and that's exactly what we want in the first round of Crestock photo contest.
You are hereby authorized by Crestock to let your creative juices flow wildly!

Photography… my hidden love?
By Binary Fortress Software on Tuesday, 24 April 2007 3:06 AM
After taking the most amazing trip I’ve ever had, and taking piles of photos, I think I’ve caught a slight fever… known as the photography bug. I loved taking photos while I was there, thinking about the lighting, the background̷...
Could it be?
By bolandrotor on Tuesday, 24 April 2007 11:16 AM
I am wondering if photomontages will be taken into consideration or not?
Any photoshoping? What judges are thinking about using digital techniques in photography?:)
thanks for answer

I know that I kind of dropped the ball on the photoblog. I will be getting back into it today. After not having my computer for a week, I had a lot of catch up to do in getting synced back up and the like. For you photographers out there, the stakes...

Question
By puentes on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 4:09 AM
are we limited to one entry? or can we enter as many pics as we want?
By MomKicker on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 1:07 PM
The technology is advancing very fast these days. I'm curious about the clarity of pictures in 10 or 15 years
Reply regarding Photoshopping and multiple entries
By gudmund on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 1:52 PM
Reply to Bolandrotor: limited post-processing is of course allowed for entries to the contest, but as stated in point 3 of the rules: "The addition of elements not found in the original image is not allowed", so collages are better reserved for the next incarnation of our Photoshop contest in the autumn.

Only one image can be entered for each round, as described in the contest summary above.

Frusturating
By Starving Artist on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 7:53 PM
I find it very frusturating when I look through some of these pictures and I see carbon copies of other work from well noted and acomplished photographers. It is one thing I think to take an idea and use it as your own for a home photo, or your own entertainment. But the blaten copying of another persons idea or style and entering a contest with it to pass it off as your own? I think people need to step back from life for a moment and compose some origonal work and see what they can do. Some of the photos in here that are similar to anne geddes work are wonderful!!!! The lighting, the rich blacks and white whites its great work. But show the world YOUR OWN IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!

Ya, that’s right the folks over at Crestock are holding a photo contest over the next couple months and are giving away some nice schwag to to the winners!

Beautiful camera, I would love to win it!
Tags or other ways to find images?
By ggunter on Tuesday, 1 May 2007 11:41 PM
So in this contest- which I entered early...How are people supposed to find our work if it's buried on page 37...? My image is image id=636 but there is no categorization or search. There are great images, but is the contest going to be skewed to favor late entries?
Rescalling process distorts the image
By AngelEyes on Wednesday, 2 May 2007 4:14 PM
This is what the rules of the contest say: "Once an entry has been submitted it cannot be changed, so make sure you submit the correct and final version of your image."

This is all good, except the fact that something in the upload process totally screwed up the image AFTER uploading in a way that couldn't been foreseen by me.
The noise in the image has totally corrupted the image.
Please consider removing this entry and allowing me to upload a version that wont be corrupted when re-scaled.

If this isn't possible please remove the image from the competition, i don't want anyone to see it in the current state.

Regards,

/Angel
Corrupted upload

Response to the comment above: The distorted upload has been fixed, now the image looks the way it should again.

Stop Public Voting !
By Asis. on Friday, 4 May 2007 10:44 PM
It is impractical to believe that to cast vote properly a person will look at all (more than 1000 !) the photographs browsing through more than 70 pages for nothing ! In most cases only the near and dear ones of a photographer will vote for his or her photograph and in no way that should be considered as a 'Judgement' ! So, the winner should be selected ONLY by the eminent Judges considering the quality as well as the content of the Photographs.
