About Exploring Photography

This purpose of this group is to explore the art of photography. The rules are simple...

PLEASE READ THESE RULES!!!

REMEMBER: IF YOU POST PHOTOS THAT ARE OFF TOPIC AND/OR NOT TAKEN WITHIN THE TOPIC DATES THEY WILL BE REMOVED, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Please post them in the appointed discussion thread only.


1. No Nudity! (Or other offensive material)

2. You must take the photo yourself. Do not post photos you have borrowed, found on the web, or taken from any other source.

3. No modifications are allowed to the photos. The only exceptions are 'cropping' and 'converting to greyscale'. Simple frames are allowed (solid color).

4. Limit: 5 photos per day. They must apply to that week's topic. Photos must be taken during the topic week.

5. Topics: Topics will be posted weekly on Friday evening to begin Saturday morning. They run through to the following Friday.

6. Weekly Contest: Weekly favorites will be picked by votes of the members. Vote on your 5 favorite photos from that week. Weeky winning photos will be decided by the total number of points awarded the photo in addition to the total number of votes per photo.

7. Monthly Contest: Monthly favorite will be chosen from the weekly winners (1st, 2nd, & 3rd place photos).

8. Comment on photos. Give constructive criticism, be honest but diplomatic please. State what you like, or what you would like to see different. Ask 'did you try this?' The purpose is to help each of us become better photographers.

9. Rules may be added, changed, or updated at any time. :)

And the most important rule of all....

10. Go out there, have fun, and take some great photos!!!!
