It's time to find out who will be our grand prize winner!

By PF Staff in Photo Contests on Aug 9, 2014

It's time for us to determine the winners of our Pentax K-3 photo contest!  The third and final round of the contest has recently ended; read on to browse all the submissions and vote for the ones you think should win.

This round of the contest, themed "Back to the Basics", was all about using your camera to capture a great image on the spot, rather than leveraging post-processing take an image to the next level.  In a nutshell, contestants were limited to using in-camera processing features or their desktop equivalents.  Creative shooting techniques such as multiple exposures or filters were encouraged.

You can vote for up to 3 photos: pick the photos that you think were the most successful given the processing restrictions.  In the table below, you'll find the processed image on the left, and the original on the right.  Click on any thumbnail to enlarge, and use your mouse scroll wheel or arrow keys to cycle though the images.  There was a total of 32 submissions this round.  Almost every photo was taken in RAW mode, thus adjustments to the white balance, color profile, and contrast are considered fair game in addition to cropping.

To be fair to all contestants, the photos in the table below will be randomized on every page load.  Also, you may only vote if you joined the forum before May.
