Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

photography contest!

photography contest!

Pheasantwithbooks created a drawing contest, which made me nostalgic for this photography contest (which I believe was also created by pheasantwithbooks, i could be wrong though) 

anyways, if you're new here, these are the rules-

~the judge gives out a theme each round and sets a deadline for the pictures to be in by

~the participants follow the theme and submit their pictures

~the judge ranks the pictures, sometimes giving them feedback

~whoever comes in 1st gets to be the next judge!

i'll be the first judge, and i'll start with a very generic theme, nature! pictures will be due on February 28th.

Have fun! 

One more rule: ~no photos of people

Finally, here are the results! Amazing photos, everyone!

Ninth place- Coroline! Your dog is adorable and I loved the angle that you took the picture from!

Eighth place- Dandelion! I loved the energy and how small the bird looked in comparison to the grass!

Seventh place-  Tuxedo Kitten! The bird was great and I loved the contrast between his coloring and the sky!

Sixth place- Autumn Artist! I loved the focus on the birds- this picture really tells a story!

Fifth place- Agent Winter! I loved the dog’s expression and how you set a black and white filter to bring out his excitement!

Fourth place- Twirlgirl! I loved the lighting in the picture and the way you captured the dog’s emotion!

Third place- Hermione! I loved the angle that you took the picture from and the pose that you caught the turtle in!

Second place- Leeli! I love the surroundings and the dog, especially his pose and his expression!

First place- Stardust! The owl shows so much emotion and intensity! 

Congrats to everyone! Awesome photos! I loved all of them and this was really hard to judge!

Here's my entry!

Note that the slightly slanted horizon line isn't an accident, there's a slight incline here.

Wow-y’alls photos are so pretty! I wasn’r able to enter the previous contest-but I’ll probably try to enter this next one... 

I have a question for y’all though:

Do you have any tips for taking photos? Like-how do you get cool angles on animals and have them stay still? Or when are you able to just KNOW what makes a good picture?

I would love more advice from all y’all to improve my photography skills-(even though I’m not really good XD ) 

Also Admins-I haven’t seen a photography contest in Cricket mag lately.... is there going to be another one anytime soon? Or no?  

 

I believe there is one in the works for an issue soon. Keep an eye out! --Admin

This was technically taken inside a building in a city, but close enough, I guess...
