After a suggestion from Polux and a lively debate, it has been decided that we will give this a go. A Photography contest. Why? because it's fun. What do we get out of it? Hopefully loads of good photos. What can we win? At present nothing more than a round of applause.
Intro over down to the case at hand;
How it works:
1). A member can post no more that two photographs of the same model, or models in the case of a diorama. (One could be a presentation shot, the other an artistic for example).
Members may post multiple entries, but they must be in a separate post and no more than one entry for each genre. (as defined in the forums build sections).
One photo per post, otherwise we cant vote on just one picture...
You may post more than once under each genre as long as they are different models
2). To simplify things SHORT discussions on the photographs can be entered in the Original Chat thread. Comments along the lines of "Nice one"- "Oh! thats good!" Or "I like that" will be removed and repeat offenders will get a slapped wrist! (privately naturally).
3). To cast your vote for a photograph, simply press the thumbs up (Like) icon. AND ONLY that one. (As being the one that will have to tally up, it is a LOT easier, if an entry has 10 likes, and NOT 6 likes, 2 great builds an optimistic and a funny. It will be counted as 6 likes).
And remember its the Photograph and not the model you are voting on!
4). The thread will be closed for further posts "at the end of the year" to allow the result to be found and the results posted before the end of the year.
Please post your entries in this thread and try to include info on how the photo was taken. Type of camera, objective etc. This is not essential but helpful to others.
Please read the four simple points again before you post your pictures.
I hope that there are many entries and I look forward to seeing them.
