BCMTouring’s Photography Contest-3, Landscapes
It’s time to start BCMTouring’s third Photography Contest and this time the theme is Landscapes. Which I believe is not only going to be quite interesting, but also quite competitive, since its one type of photographs all of us travelers, love to take.

Here are the rules:
  • Only photographs of Landscapes are allowed.
  • Each member can upload a maximum of three photographs.
  • Photos can be edited as much or as little as the photographer wants.
  • Photographs must have been captured by you; you can not pick photographs from the internet or somewhere else and post them here!
  • Last date for uploading the photographs is 23rd of August 2008 (till midnight).
  • Winning photograph would be chosen based upon the overall rating it has received.
To participate in the contest, click here and then click to upload the photograph.

Voting Guidelines:
  • Members will only be able to rate a photograph after the first phase of contest i.e. the submission phase is over i.e. from 24th of August 2008.
  • Since you are the judge, please rate photographs judiciously.
  • Last date for voting is till 4th of September 2008 (midnight).
To rate a photograph, click on rate this photograph option on the top right hand corner, right above the image (shown in the screen shot below).



Winning photograph and photographer’s name would be displayed on the home page of BCMTouring and would also be displayed on the header image of BCMTouring, which is displayed site wide (until the next photography contest winner is declared).

Ps. in case someone faces any problem uploading an image, please email them to yogesh @ bcmtouring.com along with the description and username and I’ll upload it for you.

To view the photographs, click here.

Thanks Rishabh, looking forward to your entries.

Shamik its going to be one hell of a task to pick out the winner from all of the entries, but I am sure all the beautiful photographs will make it all worth it.

Sparsh the header spot is reserved for the previous photography contest winner and there is no way we are going to take it away.

Bad news people, Mani (Lavemax) just posted couple of his masterpieces and I am sure his last entry would be mind blowing.

Its tough competing with a P & S in your hand when most have DSLRs. Yeah, the favourite and not the best pic will win!

Last contest winning photograph was from a point and shoot as well, it managed to beat all the DSLRs, why not this time around as well?

Edit: best photographs are those which manage to captivate the audience and not some technical scale or compositional rules

Winning by popular majority doesnt proove that its the best. I can get 40 people in my office to signup for the forum and vote for my pic and win despite posting a pathetic photo by all standards and derate other photos deliberately. Some pieces are not falling in place yet!
