2) New pictures taken between April 5, 2005 & June 15, 2005. Contest will stay open for entries till July 1, 2005.
3)The theme, I liked Dean Matsueda idea "I think in honor of your birthday and age, how about a "50" theme. Something broad enough to allow our creativity to run wild and yet something that ties all the photographers, cameras and images together. 50 could mean a picture of something from the 1950's, 50 objects in a shot, something that's worth USD$50 or 50 in whomever's native currency; etc." So 50 it is the picture has to relate to something 50 use your imagination.
4) No digital fakery - after scanning very minimal Photo Shop editing.
5) One picture per camera plus a picture of your camera. Lets make this more than just a contest, lets show off our "Classic Cameras" at the same time this helps pass on information.

Send the pictures to me at DavidRichert@Hawaii.rr.com put "Photo.net Contest" in the subject line. Try to keep the files under 100k and 512 pixels in width also JPG format if you can run them through Photo Shop and make them web ready that will help me. Each picture will be posted as a 200x200 or 100x100 for the camera Thumb Nail for ease of viewing. Add as much information about the picture. Also about your camera, film developing. If you want me to link your picture/camera to a web site or email that will be alright. See for example Classic Camera Contest.
I will post the pictures and the cameras along with information about each. After the contest I will include contestant names. I will also leave this up after the contest until I need the room (years).
Each picture will be given a number #) some one else can tally the vote after the contest.
I live in Hawaii the 50th state, I turn 50, I have 50 cameras from the 50's, I drive 50 and I might have 50 bucks in my wallet, I have a camera with a 50mm, if you stand 50 feet away my camera with the stuck lens it will work.
