1st W.A.R. contest begins today!
As some of you might already know, we are having our 1st competition this month. First off I'd like to thank the bloggers who have mentioned about this in their blog. I hope you guys(and other bloggers) could spread the word again.
For now, I'd like to share some tips to those who would like to join. For the rules & regulations please go to the 'Competitions' tab above.
What's it about?
This is a photo contest. involving your action figures of course. You can use any figures(Barbie dolls or anything associated with that brand are NOT action figures - I will hunt you down it you say otherwise).
Tips
- Don't rush. Take your time. You have almost a whole month to come up with ONE photo. Experiment with different figures and settings. We're looking for an artistic value.
- Quantity doesn't necessarily mean value. Don't put in a whole bunch of figures in your shot(unless you were doing a battle scene I guess).
- Make sure your photo title matches the actual picture...or the very least, makes sense. It does help by giving a brief description.
- Create your own settings. Don't go for just a plain wall for the background. You could go outside and use the buildings, garden, trees OR make your own diorama.
- You don't really need an expensive camera to take great shots. It just makes up 30% of the shot. Most of it comes from your own ingenuity. But if you must insist...you could always borrow one.
- Don't know how to use photoshop to edit your pics? There's always the online photo editor www.picnik.com. Trust me, it's the best photo editor for beginners and it's free!
-If you have any questions, do it in the comment form of this post. Thanks.
I've been a big fan of the pictures available on flickr and it has given me the idea of doing this contest. Below are just some of my favorite photographers on flickr. Have a look at how they've taken photographs of their action figures. Click on the pic or their name to go to their flickr page.
Good Luck!!
