A Weekly Photography Feature




_{Each week I'm going to try to do a feature of my favorite photos I've come across on Deviant Art. I'm also going to try and promote any events/contests that are going on in the community so if you have anything you need promoted please send me a note and it will be included in the feature! (I'm also looking for someone who is good with making logos or CSS! Would love to have a new journal for this article. Note me if interested!)}

Events and promotions for this week!

#photohunt is having a chat event on Saturday, January 12th. It will be held in the #Photohunt chatroom on dAmn.
If you have a digital camera and some free time I HIGHLY recomend you take a shot at this game. You are given a topic and have 20 minutes to shoot

it, edit and upload it. Once the time is up you thumb your photo in the chatroom and the best photo wins!

For more info please check out This Journal



#Good-Intention is holding a contest called "Feedback for Favorites" -

The Mission:
To leave Comments, Feedback, and Critiques on Deviations in your Favorites Collection.
Go through your Favorites Gallery, and comment on the deviations you find there that you did not leave a comment on. You may also add a Critique on

deviations that have the option available. All comments are meant to be encouraging and constructive, as the point of this contest is to create

feedback where there previously was none. Feel free to merely express your enjoyment for the piece, as knowing that an artist's work is appreciated

is another wonderful way to add some positivity.


For more info on this contest please read This Journal

A year with #photohunt!





Photohunt is an interactive game on dAmn for photographers. You are given a topic and you  have 20 minutes to go shoot. Minor edits are allowed. (switch to b/w, lighten darken, etc) Once the time is up you will post your thumb in the #Photohunt Chatroom and whoever is judging will choose a winner! The winner gets a point and the deviation is added to the gallery The more points you get the higher up in the ranks you go




This article is to show off the past years of winners! We hope you play with us this year

Just add to your groups and we'll put up a poll a day before the event to remind everyone!

What the HECK is PhotoHunt???

Its a place to cure your boredom and your photographers block! It allows you to race the clock and forces you to be creative. You are given a topic and you have 20 minutes to go shoot it! Sound fun? Well it is. But beware it is addicting.  So if you are ready to start hunting then stop by and join in all the fun. I DARE you to play just one round.

Top Rules

1. A game will begin when there are 4 players!
2. There must be 3 entries at the end of the game or there is no winner.
3. Winners must keep there images in their scraps until added to the photohunt gallery.
4. Wait until the end of the game to post your image.
5. Must be only 1 shot and not a collage
6. If you drop out you WILL be penalized. This means u will lose a win. If you have no wins it will just be a negitive.
7.Image needs to be clean!
8. Picture needs to be taken AFTER the topic has been posted
9. Please make sure the exif data and the clocks on your camera are set correctly!

How to play

As a player, your goal is to take a digital photo, do minor photoshopping, (Read: muck around with the brightness/contrast, convert to black and white and add a frame... You get the picture.) You have 20 minutes to take the picture, and upload it, when the judge declares that time is up you must post your photo within 5 minutes, if you fail to do so in the allotted amount of time, you will be disqualified, the judge will then choose a winner

Judging

Your photo is judged on a few things -

Clarity
How it represents the word
Composition
Creativity

Each judge has different taste!

When a judge is ready to judge a game they will let you know by saying  Game time press 1 Please do NOT pester the judges and beg for games. Judges are chosen by the founders. They can be based on everything from how often you're in the room, how much you play and just how you act in the room with others. do NOT ask to be a judge.

Have Fun!

Happy Hunting
