    This week's topic is: SELF PORTRAIT Be creative. Don't just stand in front of the camera and take the picture.

    Deadline for entry: 4/14/2012 @ Midnight Central Time

    RULES:
    1. Topic is picked (I'll do the first one) and people have until the following friday to enter their photograph;
    2. On Sunday people will vote for the best photograph for that topic;
    3. Each BH.Com member can only enter ONE photo per topic;
    4. Each photograph entered MUST be taken by the person entering the contest (no trailcam photos, no posting photos from other people);
    5. Photograph has to be taken AFTER the challenge is posted (no going back through previous pic's to find something to fit the topic);
    6. At 6:00 PM Central Time on Sunday, whoever has the most votes, picks the next topic; and
    7. The person who picks the topic can enter a photo, but is not eligible to win.

    Does it have to be hunting related?

    no it does not have to be hunting related. I threw up an example, not an entry so no rule breakage.

    You didn't say in the rules but we can use enhancement software or does it have to be raw picture?

    And I think this thread should stay in the photo section of the forums.

    Jm, I only put it here because the videography and photography forum says its about outdoor photography/videography.
    Once you have taken the photo, you can enhance your photograph if you so desire. The main point is that the photograph has to belong to you and be taken by you.

    I need time over the weekend to take mine and be creative. We all don't have the rest of our lives off yet. It's hard to fit in work and creative photography only during the week.

    I modified again. Photos are due in by midnight (central time) on SATURDAY. Voting on Sunday. I have a feeling if we keep changing to please everyone though, we might as well flush the idea.

    You're getting a little taste of what it's like to run a content on these forums. Imagine running the entire bowhunting contest for 4 months during the fall!:fro:

    I'm too old for that. hehehe I just thought this would be a way for some to have a little fun competition and maybe entice others to pick up a camera. I consider my cameras trusty friends who capture what I have seen with my eyes.

    I'll probably jump in on the contest every now and then. For now though, my camera is under the knife, so I won't be able to contribute too much early on.
