IR Shooters: New Contest!

schmoo · July 14, 2009

[imgl]http://www.schmootography.com/photos/378427334_gw9cb-S-1.jpg[/imgl]Welcome, IR Shooters!

Let's kick things off for our IR League friends with a monthly contest to get our infrared juices flowing. Inspired by our regular bi-weekly challenges, there's now a place just for photographers who love to shoot beyond the visible spectrum.

Heck yeah! How do we do that?

- In our entry thread, submit your best work, your favorite work, whatever you want. If it's IR, it's in. One photo per person, please.

- You can post your image embedded in your response, or if you prefer, you can attach your image. (Details here)

- While not required, why not join the League of Creative IR Photographers if you aren't already a member? It's free, no strings attached and you get to connect with other photographers who see the world in a whiter way!

After August 24th we'll update the first post of this thread with a poll so IR League and Dgrinners alike can cast their votes. We'll tally the numbers on August 31st and the winner gets the warm, fuzzy feeling of success as well as a free 8x12 print from SmugMug. :barb

Entries are closed right now, but.... **VOTE HERE!**

This is the first time we're trying this out, so it'll be a little longer than a month and of course your feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Questions? Comments? Post away in the thread below.

Silly question: I do not have an IR camera but have seen that I can convert to IR is post production. Is this allowed?

Hey Aaron, good question! I passed this one up to Deb Sandidge, one of our League founders. I'll post back with the verdict.

emailed months ago to join the League but never rec'd a reply. Figured it was defunct.

That's odd... who did you email? Regardless, we've had the submission form up in place for a while, which is better because the old-fashioned way we had in the beginning had to be forwarded one by one. If you can go here and fill it out, everything will be saved in the DB and the notifications get sent to me ASAP.

It was definitely pre submission form days, as it said to email someone specifically w/ your files.

Hey Aaron and everyone:

Both Deb and Andy give the OK for IR-like processing. Have at it!

Hi,

Where do I find the entry thread? Thought I might pop a pic up.

Wow, where did that go?

Sorry, still ironing out the bumps. Just go here, and I linked it in the initial post for future reference.
