Pentax K-3 Photo Contest: Finalists Announced - Round 2 Instructions

HCHphotogirl · 06-04-2014, 07:16 AM

Excited and humbled to have made it to Round 2. Love this idea and challenge. Will definitely give it my best shot (no pun intended). Is there any way you could now create an album of just the 128 finalist's images? (maybe you've already done that and I missed it?). Thanks so much....can't wait to answer the round 2 challenge.

WOW ! After seeing the entries in the competition I can't believe I've made it to the next round. Creative thinking cap on and brain cogs moving. Hard to believe that some are complaining about "Having to take another photo". If you don't enjoy taking pictures "DON'T". I took up photography when pistol shooting became too painful (literally) to continue. At the camera club I only enter photo shoots I want to do because life's to short to waste time on other things.

Oh boy, this will break my head.

There are submissions that made it with a very low nomination rate, i.e. below 10 whilst there is a lot of photo's who had more than 10 nominations which did not make it. Are they from the 64 voted by the judges and not the 64 ones voted by the rest of the forum?
Thanks.

Congrats to all !There is a lot of great people and talent out there ! Thanks for the nominations! Round 2 is going to be a great challenge. Thanks Adam ....Rob

siropdecitron · 06-04-2014, 09:04 AM

Thanks for nomination for the 2nd round. Go working to find an idea!!!

Nass · 06-04-2014, 09:24 AM

Complements to the chef! This set a/set b theme with pics to be taken during the period is really good and I might just have to copy it someday. It enables lots of creativity but makes sure the pic is taken for the comp. Very clever!

Snipes · 06-04-2014, 09:59 AM

Never thought I would make it to the second round!Thanks!

Allready thinking about how to fill in round 2...

DK77 · 06-04-2014, 10:20 AM

Suddenly! Output in the first round to compete and spurs on.

Adam · 06-04-2014, 12:40 PM

Yes that's correct.

Seems odd a that you have to submit another photo. It's like saying, OK, the first ones are nice, but they don't count now.

Well, I wish we had 128 K-3's! This is the only way to ensure that the camera ends up in the hands of a truly skilled photographer.

I think the first 64 users in the list were nominated by judges, but don't quote me on that. In any case, it's likely that photos with very few nominations were indeed selected by judges.

Sad that i'm stuck at the airport!

Well this is an interesting twist. Turns this into more of a photographer contest than a photo contest. I think I'm ok with that and excited to still be in the game (thanks for the nominations!).
But this really makes me have to think!

I agree. It's now a different ball game and one I've already been having nightmares over
