COMBINATION PHOTOGRAPHY WEEK 20

in #contest7 years ago

Let Week 20 begin!


So, @papa-pepper enjoys plants and animals from all around the world, so what better photography contest could I run than one where you get to photograph plants and animals together, in some combination photography?

EXAMPLES

Before I get into the winners of the contest last week, I’ll quickly share with you again what I am looking for by featuring some photos of mine. In the cover photo, I combined a horse with a forest full of trees, with the horse being the animal and the trees being the plants. Since both a plant and an animal were in the photo,it qualifies as a combination.

Please understand, by combination photography I mean that you should combine two elements; plants and animals. At least one plant and at least one animal should be featured in your photo to have it qualify. If your photo does not qualify, or if you do not provide the proof, you will not qualify. Here are two examples.


Wild Mouse with Grass

Baby Calf with Hay


Besides simply providing the images, I also require that those entering this contest provide a proof photo as well. Two main versions of proof photos exist. One kind features the same combination of plants & animals with a written paper in the photo with your username, the date, contest name, etc. to prove that you took the photo for the contest.

The other type of proof is just a selfie with the animal and plant. Here are my examples for the photos featured above.

Based on the proof photos there should be no doubt in your mind that I actually took the photos I shared above.

WEEK 19 WINNERS!


This was a big week! The post from Week 19 paid out at 38.733 SBD. Since SBD is still trading at over $7 USD each on Bittrex, the prize pool is technically over $250 USD this week!

Choosing the winners is always tough for me, especially with some much money on the line, but I have finally made my decisions. The Winner gets 50% of the liquid post payout from the Week Nineteen Post and the two runner ups each get 12.5% of the same, which is pretty good considering the high SBD value right now.

THE WINNER

19.367 SBD (Just over $135 USD on Bittrex right now!)

Thanks once again to everyone who entered and supported this contest! It is always a lot of fun to sort through all of your amazing photos and catch a glimpse of the plants and animals in your area!

Even if you do not win the contest, you could still get something for your effort if you turn it into a post as well. @Matthewtiii once hit the jackpot on a post about his contest entry. His post paid out at over $200 total while he has trying to win 5 STEEM, LOL! Link here.

ON TO WEEK 20!


By now you should have a clue about what this contest is and how to enter, but here are the official rules just to make sure. Enjoy, and I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.

HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES:

This can be in the form of a selfie with the subjects from the photos or in the form of your username written on a piece of paper in a photo, etc. Basically, you must prove the originality of your work. Therefore, your entry comment should include two photos.
  • Users have between now and the time of the post payout to enter this contest.

But I really want to join this contest
