2008 Photo Contest


LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION . . . .
The third annual Pigeon Talk Photo Contest will offically begin on Monday, June 23rd.

This year's contest will be manned by me, Pete Jazinski and Dezirrae.

There have been a couple changes in the rules, but basically they remain the same as last year.
Please review them, as well as the categories & voting procedure, carefully.

We have a few days before the contest officially starts. This will give us time to answer any questions you might have and give you a chance to get started taking pictures or get the ones you already have, ready to submit.

Have a great time, everyone.
Cindy, Pete & Dezirrae


PHOTO CONTEST RULES


* Please submit photos that you have taken.

* Photos must be of your own pigeons or doves, which can include those that you have rescued and/or rehabbed. This does not pertain to the 'Other' or 'Feral' categories.

* Both pigeon and dove photos will be accepted.

* Each member may enter only one photo per category during the competition.

* A specific bird cannot be entered in multiple categories.
Example: Mikko cannot be entered in the show and pet category. It must be one or the other.

* A photo entered in previous Pigeon Talk photo contests will not be accepted.

* A bird entered in previous Pigeon Talk photo contests will be accepted.

* A thread will be opened for each category, each week.

* A maximum of 10 entries per category, per week will be allowed.

* The photo contest will run for a total of 4 weeks (each week will be open for 5 days).
Photo submission will commence on a Monday & end on a Friday.

I'll be starting a new thread for each category each week. And then photos should be posted to the specific category thread you're entering.

Hope that answers your question

Yes - Pets as opposed to Racers or Show Breeds but still Pigeons. Other pets (e.g., dogs, cats, etc.) would go in the "Other" category.

question...


Do the photos have to be taken by me? Or can I submit photos my husband took of my birds?

For example:
I "wrangled" the birds for our photo shoots and used my voice & gestures to get good poses out of them and keep them from escaping the light box, but he operated the camera and did all of the photo cropping, etc. So technically he is the photographer, and I was only the assistant.

No problem if I can't enter photos that he took - I have some of my own too. Just let me know.

Technically, we would like photos taken by the member themselves.

Question


Hi,

Can I enter a 'Couples' picture of a pair of pigeons at the 'sanctuary' I volunteer at, or do they have to be at my home?

Thanks

Janet
