The Best of DA & Contest!

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 5, 2007, 4:50 AM




:bulletred: The Best of DA & Contest! :bulletred:


:bulletblue: Well it is not often that I enter contests here on DA, but this time I did. *SkyAndNatureClub is holding a contest which is open where people don't have to be members of the club to enter and vote. Though I am a member, I decided to enter and try my luck at it. Well currently I am second with my image below, and I urge you all to go and vote HERE
Mine is #19 in the list, and while you are there be sure to check out the other entries as well, and do some voting on which you feel is the best image!



Wish me luck folks!


:bulletblue: Well it seems Autumn is just about gone in the Mountains here, and this weekend I will wrap up my fall color shooting. I am going Sunday which is supposed to be awful with the weather, rain/snow mix they are saying. I am thinking that this could mean some low lying clouds and shots heavy on atmosphere. We'll see. I am debating either Rocky Mountain National Park or Cripple Creek, and I have never shot in Cripple Creek area before so that would be new to me. Kinda leaning towards that way.

:bulletblue: Special Features below! As you all know I asked for links on what you, my watchers, consider to be the best images on DA and well, you responded! So with that mind, I will start those features today!

Hope you are all doing well out there in Photo Land! Thanks guys for all the comments, favs, wishlist adds and watches, I appreciate the support a LOT!

:bulletred: The Best of deviantArt!!:bulletred:

Recently I asked you, my watchers to share with me links to images here on DA which you thought best represent DA a whole, the best of the best, the cream of the crop, images you look up to, images which inspire you. This is the beginning feature of that. I was pretty surprised by the images, as they are a mish-mash of every subject and every genre here on DA. It was also nice to see some of you chose images which are relatively unknown also, so we will have images with 5 fav's next to images with 2,000 favs! Awesome! So without farther delay, onwards we go!

Ya it is amazing, there is just so much art on this site and often more than not, the best images are the ones never seen!

"Hate to break it to you, but serious photographers don't get a lot of sleep. Show me an award-winning, breathtaking landscape--a pond shimmering in the woods, golden clouds surrounding a mountain peak--and I'll show you someone who got up at 4:40 am to be ready with a tripod as the sun rose." David Pogue, NYT

Guidelines For DD Suggestions



:bulletblue: For those of you wondering about DD suggestions:

I have a few guidelines that I would like to state about the suggestions of DD's, so just a FYI, :) there is ONLY one rule, and it below.

:bulletred: Firm Rule--Person being suggested can not have received a DD within a 3 months time allowance. This is dA policy.

:bulletred: I like images to be older than 3 months, I just prefer 'em that way, I get many suggestions for images that were just submitted, literally. Not much I can do with an image that is an hour old, let alone a day old.

:bulletred: I try to concentrate on images which the community as a whole has NOT seen, 30 fav's and under and it has a better chance of being awarded a DD. That is NOT to say that I won't feature a DD that has 600 fav's, because I most certainly will!

:bulletred: Quality. Sheer quality! I will only award what I feel is the best. The absolute BEST! In focus, great exposure, great light, composition, and an overall interesting photo, one that grabs the viewers attention and keeps it there!

:bulletred: Note me your suggestions. I can't really respond to suggestions, however, so you know. Also, please make sure it is in the Photography>Animals, Plants, and Nature category.

:bulletred: Many of the DD's which I do not pick will undoubtedly wind up being featured in my journal and also in news articles, where the photographer will gain exposure with their works being presented and seen among the community here.

:bulletred: Now have at it folks! Again if anyone has any questions, please feel free to note me, I am the friendly type and no, I certainly don't bite! No question is ever stupid, only the one which is never asked! I look forward to being apart of the team here, and thank you all for the warm welcomes!
