Street Photography
This week, we are going back to the streets to get some street photography. The streets can be a very great place to get some really cool photography. While I was in Vegas, I took some time to try and get some cool street shots. I found that the key is to wait for the cool shots to come to you. Find a cool place and just wait. Think of the people in your shots as props and just wait for the props to fall into place in your frame. You will be surprised at what the outcome is. I am looking forward to seeing your street photography from all around the world.
How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?
Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Saturday to get your submission in. There will be two tiers for the contest. A professional tier and an amateur tier. When making your submission, you must state which tier you will be competing in. I usually get a lot of entries, so make sure to follow all the rules or else your submission won't count and will likely be ignored.
I will not allow any entry that is not your own original photography. If you are caught plagiarizing someone else's work, you will be flagged and banned from participating in any future contest. So make sure that the photos you are submitting are ones that you personally take.
All entries must be done through the Liketu front end. One of the goals of the contest is to create more awareness of Liketu, so make sure that you create your post from https://liketu.com/.
You only get one entry per week, so make sure to spend some time on getting a good photo and creating a fun post about your entry. You will need to submit a link to your post in the comment section of the contest announcement post and you will need to include at least one image from your post in the comment you make. You are encouraged to share more than one image in your post. The more effort you put into your post, the more chance you have for curation and possibly winning your tier.
On top of a chance for curation from Liketu, the top three entries in each tier will be awarded as follows:
Place | Professional | Amateur |
---|---|---|
1st | 8 Hive | 4 Hive |
2nd | 5 Hive | 3 Hive |
3rd | 3 Hive | 2 Hive |
