Photo Contest- For You!
Friday, October 3, 2008 at 02:20PM 
Probably the first of many pumpkin patch pictures. We stopped at our first yesterday. We have to pass by it as we go to school. It had only been open for a short time but the girls have been begging me to go. Something didn't seem right that I was sweating while there though. We should be heading to our real pumpkin patch for our annual visit this weekend.
In honor of the season, which I love, I am going to hold a photo contest! Now, I am in no position to say weather one picture is better than another so I am recruiting help from someone. Don't know who yet but he/she will be competent. The theme for the contest is Fall. No, you didn't guess that? The winner will receive bragging rights and a $15 iTunes gift card. The rules are as follows:
- One entry per person.
- Creativity is a must but Photoshop skills are not. You can be completely creative without every touching, manipulating, editing a photo. You can 'shop it up it you'd like but that won't be a deciding factor.
- Contest deadline is Monday, Oct. 13, 2008. Winner will be announced Friday, Oct. 17, 2008. Me and one other person will judge.
- Email your medium sized entry to RockinAPhoto at gmail dot com. Please don't send huge files sizes.
- If you'd like to post the picture you are entering on your blog or elsewhere, you can comment here so that others can go see it.
This is as formal as it gets so if I have forgotten something, let us know. Now, get shootin'.

Oh, please include your name and email address with your photo.

Hi,
I happened to read about your competition and thought I'd enter this picture. It's a picture I recently took while my wife and I visited Montreal. We walked through Mount Royal (Montreal's version of Central Park in NYC) and I took this picture:

I am new to the whole DSLR world (I bought my 1st DSLR 4 weeks ago). For others that visit this site, if anyone is interested in a newbie's efforts to teach himself photography, then do feel free to visit my site and comment on the pictures:
