The best camera is one that still works!
The last one was fun but a little 'light on' entry wise ... I think Xmas and New Year was not a smart time to run it with all the other commitments people have at this time.
The format seemed easy to follow and the scoring system worked effectively at the end but any suggestions to improve it without getting overly complicated would be appreciated.
The previous rules for the last one were as follows:
2008 – 2009 14 Day One Camera One Lens Challenge.
Proposed Rules and Schedule.
Commencing midnight 17th December 2008
Ending midnight 31st Dec 2008 (New Years Eve)
Camera Choice/one only … open but this is the only camera body you can use for leisure (non pro) photography for the stated period.
Lens Choice/one only … open but no zooms and also the only lens you can use for leisure (non pro) photography for the stated period.
Film/Memory Card Usage … as much as you want as often as you want.
Flash Usage … yes.
Cropping … mild cropping is ok but not landscape to portrait or vice versa.
Subject Material … portraits/landscapes/street whatever you want within reason.
Images To Be Submitted … three maximum, less if you think you’re that good you can win this thing with one.
The gallery for hosting your input will be closed on the 14th January at midnight … this allows you two weeks to get yourself organised after the 14 day shooting period ends and get your files/submissions uploaded. If you don’t think you can manage this, don’t partake!
A judging system for this competition is yet to be decided … I’m open to suggestions but I favour a small panel of judges made up of respected experienced forum members with suitable qualifications. Volunteers for this arduous task would receive my eternal gratitude … but not much else! Stephen has suggested just using the system of members voting for their favourites in the gallery.
The winner/winners will receive the plaudits and constant admiration of fellow forum members for some time to come … but in reality, little else! We are just here for the fun of it after all.
So it's just a matter of deciding dates and fine tuning the rules if need be!
