Good news everyone,

We've decided to open a photo contest for the anniversary party. the contest is open to all DPP members.

there will be two (2) themes for the contest.

The first theme is Portraits and the second is Landscapes. each member is only allowed to submit a maximum of three (3) photos for both theme.

Submission of entries will be done by uploading your photos through the Photo Gallery section of this forum. An album for the photo contest will be created tonight at around 9pm. Submission of entries may start once the album is created.

Deadline of submission will be on Wednesday (06.24.2009) 10:00 AM.

Amazing prizes from the sponsors awaits the winners of this contest.
The contest winners will be announced on the night of the party.

Coolness!!!! Are mods DQ'ed? hihihi.

Coolness!!!! Are mods DQ'ed? hihihi.

yup... even the moderators can join...

Lloyd, Is there a way to submit entries w/o getting to identify the person submitting? There may be some wisdom in doing this so there would not be any bias, and the photo will be judge based on the photo merits. Let all entries be statistic numbers. Just a suggestion.

we've discussed your concerns and out off all the entries the top 20 photos will be selected by the 5 editors of DPP. Then the top 20 photos will be judged on the event by a different set of photographers that we invited specifically for the contest.

on a side note nino said : thanks for the concern and you don't have to be scared to show your name together with the photo.

9PM to open a section at the Gallery????

Soooooo tagaaaaaaaal.... hehehehehehehehehe

Well, nice move DPP!!! This is exciting!!!!!

Should that read Wednesday (06.24.2009) 10:00 AM ?

pwede sumali?hehehe mahaba pa yung time para maging creative and explore.are there any limitation on the photos submitted? like no editing of pics or something :Grin: kaka excite

Yes the date is Wednesday June 24. This may sound like a bit of a rush but we had to cancel our planned live shoot for this format because getting a permit to shoot in the area was taking too long.

There will be LIVE JUDGING of the top photos. The live judging will give photographers insight on what goes on a judges mind and the comments made will be priceless. It will be a must see for all so turn in those photos. There will be some prizes for the best shots but the winner in the end wins BRAGGING RIGHTS for one year......that itself is worth the price of admission.

All images will be printed by us courtesy of Canon. So start turning in those photos.

will upload mine later :) (just came from a shoot @ work)

what portraits and landscapes? orientation po bang portrait/landscape?

tnx

I firmly believe its not the orientation in the lingo of photography :D :D.

..........

Ardiel: English please.

..........

thats why im asking if its that... or is it portrait as to portraiture and landscapes as to sceneries..

yan lang po kasi nakalagay as for the theme... mejo vague kasi for me kaya nga nagtatanong eh..

Ok. It says "Portraits and Landscapes" and there was a confusion. If Lloyd was referring to an orientation then what type of photographs qualifies or falls for the THEME? Does it make any difference if I submit the same photograph but different ORIENTATION?

I highlighted "THEME" because it should not to be confused with ORIENTATION. :)

it's 11pm....is the album in the gallery ready?....im having a hard time finding it :(

..........

Goodness, is that even worth bickering about?

BTW, please remove the for sale/swap link in your sig as well, Ardiel.

@ Ardiel - man I think that the TS (Lloyd) said the theme will be portraits and landscapes...he meant it as the genre rather than the orientation as he mentioned 'themes'....I don't think orientation matters..

also It maybe odd if the submitted photos will be judged per orientation? hope this helps :)

..........

@Ardiel,

To quote Lloyd:

Each member is only allowed to submit a maximum of three (3) photos for both theme.

If I will follow your syllogism, I can submit 3 same and exact photos but different orientation. Does this sound odd for a photo contest? :D

Just a clarification that I'm not an expert either. What I said as "I firmly believe..." simply mean I trust my guess :)

just for clarification, by portraits, does that mean that we are limited to studio portraits or fashion spreads, or human interest photos in general, photojourn type portraits (i.e. a portrait of a kid taken in the street, etc...)?

also are there limitations to the post prod?

@ardiel

what's with the "......." ?

Hi Lloyd,

Sounds exciting. Are there any other guidelines that we need to take note of?
Are there any post processing techniques that need to be avoided, or are watermarks allowed?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ryan

i still can't the place where to upload the entries... or is it just me?

Hi Lloyd-

Just a suggestion.

The Theme Portraits and Landscapes are very broad. I think its much easier to the photo participants/judges if theres a specific Theme for Portraits and Landscapes..example - Photojourn-Portraits, Fashion/Glamour Portraits, Travel Portraits,Digi-Art Portraits etc. same with in Landscapes- Seascapes, Urban etc.

Or Portraits- "Black and White ", /"Emotions"/"Aging"

Landscapes- "Surreal", "Magic Light", "50/50"

In this way, we could avoid confusion in photo entries and judging.:)


Thanks,

Joel G.

+1 here.
I agree with Joel, for example, can a street portrait be judged equally with a fashion portrait, etc etc..

Wow.

ok just to clarify things.....

there are two themes (not orientation).
The first THEME is "Portraits". it is a very broad topic so your not limited to studio portraits or fashion spreads you can go as far as street/photojourn as long as the face and expression is predominant. You can submit any type of photo that falls under the theme.

same goes with the second theme (not orientation) "Landscapes". same as the first theme you can submit any photo that falls under or is classified as landscapes. so you have the different styles of landscape photography like seascape, nightscape, cityscape, etc...


as to post processing... there's no limitation.

what is the size for the image? ppi?

what is the size for the image? ppi?

you can submit low res/web sized photos for the gallery. once your photo makes it through the top 20 photos we will send you a PM asking for the Hi-res files.

Wow! This should be exciting, let me see if I got some photos here..:Grin:

hihihi..I missed this yesterday..The orientation discussion was funny..:Grin:

Grrr...to the portrait submitters..i think its safer to send a Street/Photojourn shot than a studio..there's no way us hobbyists can beat the experience and lighting set ups and model contacts of the pros here!hahaha.:)

To the landscapes...Hmmmm..those from the province have a really good shot here..:) What if I were in Mindanao, and I submitted a kick a$$ landscape shot and you chose it..but I couldnt come to the party coz I'm so poor and cant afford a plane ticket to manila..can I still get the prize? or will you send me a plane ticket?hehehe:)

Hahaha this made me laugh!:D You can afford a DSLR but can't afford a plane ticket?!:D The "so poor" is harsh...:D
And I may appreciate cityscape more than seascapes, others vice-versa, so I guess we all have equal chances of winning the landscapes category.:)

...can I still get the prize? or will you send me a plane ticket?hehehe:)

@Gerald,

Nick said the prize for the winner is "one year bragging rights"! I don't know if that is convertible to cash :D

There will be some prizes for the best shots but the winner in the end wins BRAGGING RIGHTS for one year......that itself is worth the price of admission.

hi maan,

welcome to DPP. Please read our forum guidelines (http://www.digitalphotographer.com.ph/forum/showthread.php?t=3892) before posting.

thank you.

Oops! sorry, missed the Guidelines. think I violated Commandment II an IV. Sorry again:(, and Thanks for the reminder..

anyway, here's some questions: are all uploaded entries final? i mean, can i still change it or edit it before the deadline? and if my entry/entries qualified in the first elimination, can i still enhance/manipulate the photo for the live judging (eg. a little enhancement in the contrast, vibrance, cropping, etc.)?

If Canon will print the live judging entry, and we didnt approve the print out result (border merger issue, etc), can we submit prints of other photo processing lab?... hehehe! feeling winner. :-)

last one, will this be a part of the activity on the 27th in The Fort? thanks a lot!

"one year bragging rights"! <<< ahehehe maybe your prize will be a sig ban.. saying >> "Mr./Ms. Bragging Rights of the 2009" :Grin:

As Nick said, the live commentary will be priceless. I'd even go there if there's nothing else but the live judging.

Big deal 'to guys (at least for me) to hear what's in their heads. Not really to follow immediately but to ponder upon.

... with this note - I'll be submitting mine :)

Good luck to all!

Hi! Is it ok to include a watermark in the submitted entry? Will it affect the judging of the said picture? Thanks!

hi. thanks for the heads-up. i'm trying to edit one of my uploaded entries. my wrong. thanks again

Wow!

+1 to Red Ognita.
To hear the comments of the judges is an honor. Considering also that you are in TOP 20 :)...

Uploaded mine. Waiting for approval...

Whew! This is my first time uploading photo in DPP photo gallery.
Also, this is my first time to join in a photo contest :) Just want to try...


Good luck to all of us!

Sorry. Might have missed it but what size should the Photo entries be and should they be HI-RES?

Thanks

you can submit low res/web sized photos for the gallery. once your photo makes it through the top 20 photos we will send you a PM asking for the Hi-res files.

Hey PJ! Here's the answer to your inquiry. :)

The first theme is Portraits and the second is Landscapes. each member is only allowed to submit a maximum of three (3) photos for both theme.


what are the consequences if we submit three for landscape, and three more for portrait?

Ces, the consequences are that you have a higher chance of winning!! :Grin:

Submit because we will be taking the best photos and doing a LIVE JUDGING to show everyone what goes through the mind of a photography judge. You will get great insight on photography just by attending the event and hearing the judges speak.

hi... another questions here, is there any limitations to where we can shoot/take the photos? like for me, i am basing here in dubai... can i join the contest? or is it limited to P.I. only? thanks... more power guys...

... or is it limited to P.I. only?

P.I.?! Heeeeeyy..no need to curse at anyone here..hehehe Exactly what I was asking too. Is there a proximity limit to the members who can join? I know there members from the province here too and abroad..

Can I submit photos taken using films? The photo was scanned and corrected (cropped, color, horizontal alignment) using PS.

i dont see why not.

P.I.?! Heeeeeyy..no need to curse at anyone here..hehehe Exactly what I was asking too. Is there a proximity limit to the members who can join? I know there members from the province here too and abroad..

who's cursing who sir? P.I. means Philippine Islands for me... :Grin::Grin::Grin: maybe you misinterpreted it... though it was my fault, i should have written it in full... anyway, can we join?

All entries need to be digitized so film shots just need to be scanned.

i dont see why not.
Thanks sir.

P.I.?! Heeeeeyy..no need to curse at anyone here..hehehe Exactly what I was asking too. Is there a proximity limit to the members who can join? I know there members from the province here too and abroad..

hi... another questions here, is there any limitations to where we can shoot/take the photos? like for me, i am basing here in dubai... can i join the contest? or is it limited to Philippine Islands only? thanks... more power guys...

i'll raised my query again... can we join?... :Grin::Grin::Grin:

Jhim, YES you can join. The rules didn't stipulate any restrictions on subject's location, photographer's current location, and what not.

to gerald and jhim,

you'll be getting an answer in a while... would just like to let you know that your questions are being attended to. :)

wat photo gallery section should we submit the photos?

jhim,

yes you can.

Hey PJ! Here's the answer to your inquiry. :)

Thanks:Grin:

jhim,

yes you can.

thanks ninz... thanks everyone... this is fun - got to have some shots tonight... :Grin:

Joke lang sir.:Grin::Grin::Grin:

Great entries so far... I hope I can find some pictures worth submitting.


Just got to say this... this thread is so funny! :D

I hope we all win hehe

c^^,)

This is great! I will try to find some shots of mine that seems worthy enough to join this contest...

I hope though, that there was a different category for beginners other than that of the experts to isolate the masters from the boys/girls... surely newbies such as I are outclassed by the gurus...:Grin:

Just some clarification... each member is only allowed to submit a maximum of 3 photos for each theme or both themes combined?

Hi Ms. Mae!

Thank you very much for your response.
Actually, that is what I was clarifying about. The statement could mean that only 3 photos are allowed for the 2 themes combined, or it could also mean that 3 photos are allowed for each theme... :)

From my understanding, we are allowed to sumbit 3 entries for each theme. I would just like to verify if I understood it correctly.

3 photos for both themes. not 3 photos for each theme. Mods, feel free to correct me if I got it wrong.:)

You got it right, Dean. I'm not a Mod, but Lloyd clarified this to me. Only 3 photos, total ---- three of one and none of the other or two of one and one of the other. Not three each.

Yep, 3 for both means total of 3 only. Not 6 (or 3 each).

Thanks Dan, coz I'm seeing 3 posts for portrait and 3 more post for landscape all from one member. Got me confused. :)

hi, i was trying to upload photos but i get "image pending approval" thumbnail. is this really the case or had i made a wrong uploading procedure?

hi, i was trying to upload photos but i get "image pending approval" thumbnail. is this really the case or had i made a wrong uploading procedure?

Nope, you did nothing wrong, you successfully uploaded your photo and is currently "pending approval" of the DPP mods. You'll definitely see it tomorrow. :)

gee, thanks sir!

Thanks Dan, coz I'm seeing 3 posts for portrait and 3 more post for landscape all from one member. Got me confused. :)

So what will happen to the entries of those members who submitted 6?
Do they need to specify their 3 final entries?

Thank you all for clarifying this.

Sir Lloyd, pardon me, you may delete my 3 portrait entries. I only read all the replies after I submitted them.

Thanks and More power!

Oh sorry I posted late... now its clear...

Dear Super Mod, I have PM'd you about my excess entry

c^^,)

PS. If you want to delete the entry just go to the photo you uploaded and edit it.. there is an option on the bottom (a check box) that you can choose then save so you would be able to get rid of your excess entries.

Until when we are allowed to submit photos? TIA

Deadline of submission will be on Wednesday (06.24.2009) 10:00 AM.



And my reply is not too short! :)

My entry is still under approval.. :(

Mods, just read the ruling regarding 3 images total.
I already deleted my images in the landscape gallery.
Still awaiting for your approval for the portraits category.
Thanks and see you saturday!
It has been awhile. Looking forward to seeing the "older" DPP people.:Grin:

please please please? i really want to join. please please :-(

finally did the last batch of pending approvals and all the request to disregard their excess entries.


good luck to all.

ok guys,

after a long debate on which photo goes to the finals, we have made our choice. in an hour our very own lloyd san diego will email you if your photo made it.

kindly send the high resolution photo IMMEDIATELY (by lunch tomorrow at maximum) as we need time to print it and display it for the anniversary.

all photos to be submitted are without WATERMARKS AND BORDERS.

thanks and good luck.

Wow, that was quick!

Nino, when you say high resolution, would it be best to just send you the raw file -OR- for you to declare the pixel dimensions so that the finalists can do their magic and send you the files properly sized and sharpened?

Nino, when you say high resolution, would it be best to just send you the raw file -OR- for you to declare the pixel dimensions so that the finalists can do their magic and send you the files properly sized and sharpened?

The final edited file as you want it displayed and for live judging. High resolution meaning as big as you can.

Wait I don't want to receive 100MB files here guys. We are printing the images to Poster size, so 18 x 24 or thereabouts depending on your aspect ratio. The photos that we narrowed down will only be printed and will be displayed for the Live Judging part of our party.

Again, please look at your emails and we hope to receive those files asap.

Nino, can they send by email through YOU SEND IT?

Got it Nino. Sorry to nitpick, this is probably a question for Nick's color management and printing class.

But isn't sharpening at one pixel dimension and then printing it at a different size not the ideal way to achieve optimal sharpness? Meaning, is it better to sharpen at the final pixel size one is printing?

For example:

Original size : 2000 x 3000 pixels

For 4R printing : resize/crop to 1200 x 1800 pixels then apply USM

For 20" x 30" printing : resize to 6000 x 9000 pixels then apply USM


Or should one upsize the 2000 x 3000 pixel files into 6000 x 9000 and then the printer downsizes it and do their thing? What's the ideal workflow?

Sorry, this is probably out of topic but I plan to steal the winning photo while everyone's dead drunk so the printing better be darn good. Hahaha

Good news everyone,


....Deadline of submission will be on Wednesday (06.24.2009) 10:00 AM.

Amazing prizes from the sponsors awaits the winners of this contest.
The contest winners will be announced on the night of the party.

Hi Everyone,

I have seen this thread just now and unfortunately I was 6 hours late for the deadline. Anyway, I still uploaded my entries to the gallery and I hope my entries are still valid. But if it's not qualified, it's ok, I'll keep looking for contests in the future.

More power to DPP and congratulations for it's 3rd Year Anniversary!

Regards,

Andrew

Let me do also my congratulatory post. I got no email from Lloyd. Looking forward to seeing the short list on Saturday!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!:):):):)

Congrats to the chosen few.. :) and good luck.. :Grin:

Congratulations... God Bless To All who will be chosen... :D

<now playing> So close... yet so far away.... :(

Tukayo, same here... I just hoped for the best and expect the worst... Well, to be able to see some of my photos in the same gallery as the that of the masters, is rewarding enough for me. I'm way out of their league... marami pang kakaining bigas (still need to learn many things). hehehe...:D

Congratulations to the winning entries and to everyone who participated! I wish I could be at the Fort on Saturday to see event... surely there's a lot to learn from there...

Yeap... and so it goes to show we should attend the seminars on Saturday hehe

:Grin: Maybe next year, we'll know em all and be considered veterans on contests and stuff hehe :D

Last Song Syndrome: I did my best... but I guess my best wasn't good enough... heheh

Nice! :D Hope to see you sat Allan!
Long time man!

see you bro! its been a long time! i remember when we were just a few dpp members

Congrats to everyone! :D

Congratulations to those who made it to the top list and also to all who participated :)

I have my own list of "i-think-this-will-make-it" photos, I'm excited to see if they are the ones who made it to the top list. See you guys!

Congrats to those who got e-mailed.:) Looking forward to see who made it to top 10!

sir, do we need to be there during the judging/awarding for us to win (if ever lang, malay mo, he,he)? because some of us, like myself, may only be able to be there in the morning and early afternoon.

if so, does the live judging at 8pm still apply?

thanks a lot!

sad to say i'm one of the chosen ones who don't read the whole thread first before posting, haha! the winners were sent emails na pala, that just means i didn't win, he,he. maybe next time!

for the top ten, way to go! i'll check out your entries tomorrow and find out the winning factor. for those who didn't make it like me, you can join me in checking out the top ten photos, haha!

o, the post about separating the padawans from the jedi masters is interesting, i think that should be looked into. i just don't know how it can be separated.

cheers!

Where is that post? TIA

Yah.. we should be there tomorrow...I wana be there, but too bad for me, I wont be able to make it... :( We have a race at Montalban.. If only I could be at 2 places at one time... I'd be there. I hope the event will have a video coverage especially for the lecture and demo part, so the unfortunate ones like me could have a chance to see it too.

Where is that post? TIA

I don't know if Junie was referring to my post, but here it is :


...I hope though, that there was a different category for beginners other than that of the experts to isolate the masters from the boys/girls... surely newbies such as I are outclassed by the gurus...:Grin:

John

congrats to all finalist :)

Sayang, Victor, we should have had our own EB in Vegas when I was there last year (April). I was at the Hilton with my family for 5 days!!! :RedEye:

I guess, I'll just have to catch you when you're back here in the Philippines. :Grin:
