October Photo-Contest info:

Theme: Epic!

Your challenge this month my fellow Seibertronians is to depict your Transformers in the very real and brutal war they've fought throughout time. Their war's stretched from the inner chambers of Cybertron to our our own planet and beyond! Alien worlds have crumbled by their destruction. Show us the battles, the aftermath, the casualties, the winners...

Show us war.

Extra comments: Extra attention to clearity of photo (how well we can tell who's fighting who), set up, and scenery will be taken.

Maximum amount of Transformers has been risen to 15 for this contest, but having said that, please be aware that your photo should be clear and easily deciphered. If we have to search around to figure out what's going on, that's a problem.

This contest is meant to truly challenge you all so take special care in you're ideas and how you set up your shots.

As this theme is very broad, it's very easy to have similar photos; Uniqueness and creativity is encouraged.

DATES TO REMEMBER:

*Note - this month's contest will spand from the remainder of October and into November and will serve as the contest for both months.

This Contest starts October 14.
Contest will be open for actual entries on OCT 22-NOV 17.
There will be a one week deliberation for judging and results will be announced on the 26TH of November.

Winners will receive Custom Signatures by our very own Sunstar with their winning entries.

I should've read all this before...I've already taken my picture! Well, pictures - I took several angles because it was just so epic. You'll see it in time.

That's always good to take multiple shots so you have a cache to choose the best one from.

Well sort of...one is the final shot, the others are just bonus shots of all the stuff going on.

Now THERE'S a novel concept.

You'd be surprised at how many photos I've seen where you have to squint at the pic to decipher each Transformer.

As the newer toys tend to all be bold bright colors, they contrast so badly with what's around them and each other you can't tell who's who or what's even going on.

That's what that rule is meant to be, even though it sounds like it means pixilation of the photo.

Lightings and other effects are allowed, right? As long as there's no photo editing thru software.

Of course. Anything you do for the set up of the shot, is allowed; Lighting, scenery, props, and the like.

Thanks. This should be interesting.

I just wish the contest period to be longer. This is a special topic. Deserves twice the time. At least 2 months.

A single month is not enough.

IMHO.

It's gonna take me a while to make some props and do a setup. I got ideas rolling around. I just don't have many autobots... but that might owrk in my favour.
