January 2010 Photo Contest Reminder
That’s right, we are now in the final days of the January 2010 Photo Contest. It’s hard to believe that the first month of 2010 is almost over already and with it comes the end of our latest monthly photo contest.
January 2010 Photo Contest Announcement
That’s right! With the new year comes a new Photo Contest for you all!
For anyone new to the contests, basically all you have to do is head over to our January 2010 Photo Contest Flickr Group and submit up to 3 of your photos. At the beginning of February, I will select the winner.
So take the new camera you got for Christmas out of its box, install your brand new copy of Lightroom, process it using your new Photoshop plugins, and send in your shots today for your chance to win!
The Results Are In: December 2009 Photo Contest!
As the year comes to a close, so does another one of my Monthly Photo Contests. Before announcing the winner for the December Photo Contest, I’d like to take a moment to thank all of our contest sponsors over the past year including Westcott, Scott Kelby, Mpix, IGT America, onOne, Unified Color, Photoshop Cafe, What the Duck? and Kelby Training. Thank you for all of your generous support and for working with me to encourage our fellow photographers to grow with every shot.
I’d also like to thank everyone who has entered my contests this year. Whether you won a prize or not, I want you to know that I saw artistry in each and every shot and you are all more than capable of doing great things behind the lens. Keep it up!
And now, for our winner…
The Results Are In for the September Photo Contest!
Wow! Every time I open up a new monthly photo contest I am amazed at the quality of shots that are shared. Thank you all for making me work so hard at making my selections every month! You amaze me and, more importantly, inspire me to get out there and shoot!
Now, before you scroll through the whole list of photos from this month’s contest, be sure to check down at the bottom for the link to the October contest group and to find out the AWESOME prize that is in store for the winner.
Without further ado, this month’s winner is:
“pier 3 square” by M Greenbaum Photography
Marvin will be receiving a free item from my official Jason D. Moore Photography Apparel Store. Congratulations!
I was taken by this shot the first time I saw it. There are so many elements at work here that just come together and “make it” for me. First off, I like the square cropping. It makes it stand out and I like how it plays off of the repeating pattern of the supports for the pier. I like the play between contrasts here: cool vs. warm colors, solid vs. fluid, sharp focus vs. blur, angular vs. the organic nature of the clouds and surf. I like how the shot isn’t just of something pretty, it communicates something through the contrasts, through the fact that the structure is aged and weathered. It says something. Nicely done!
As always, there were a number of shots that are certainly worth noting here and are each amazing in their own right:
Thank you all for entering and for sharing your terrific work with all of us.
The October 2009 Photo Contest is now open! As always, you have until the 31st at midnight (Eastern) to submit up to 3 photos for the prize. And boy do we have a good one this month! Troy Breidenbach (the photographer who shot the football player image above) is the president of a company called IGT America that uses a really cool technology to “print” images onto metal to make signs, dry erase boards, etc.
Troy and one of his graphics guys are avid photographers and they thought it would be fun to try transferring their skills at making signs towards their own work, and the results are fantastic! The process is called “sublimation” and here’s what they do:
1.) we get your image electronically and make sure the color space matches our profile (and convert it if not)
2.) the image is printed on 64” ink jet printers with a special ink and paper
the paper allows the ink to be “transferred” to the metal later
3.) the paper is married to the metal and put through a heat and pressure cycle that turns the ink from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid in between.
4.) because of the pressure the ink can only go into the specially coated metal where it is “locked” below the clear coat
5.) the metal is cooled quickly so the color stays fast
6.) the flat metal is stamped to round the corners and put the holes in
Troy was kind enough to send me a sample using one of my own images and I must say, the final piece is amazing! It has a great finish and a terrific feel! (I just have to figure out the best place to hang it!) I’ve heard of this process before using fabrics because we offer certain products at work using a sublimation process, but before Troy contacted me I’d never heard of it being used on metal for photos. It is a very unique way of displaying your photos.
So, long story short, the winner of the October contest will receive a free 16×20 sublimated piece of metal depicting one of their photos. So, be sure to enter your best work this month for your chance to win the awesome prize!
And another HUGE thanks to Troy and his team for donating this very cool piece for our winner!
September Photo Contest Reminder
That’s right, September is quickly coming to a close and, along with it, so is my September Photo Contest!
I’ve already received 25 entries into this months contest but there is still time for you to submit your shots! The winner of this particular monthly photo contest will have their choice of either a Women’s Light T-Shirt, Light T-Shirt, Ringer T, Women’s T-Shirt, or White T-Shirt OR your choice of a stein, mug, large mug, or tote bag from my official Jason D. Moore Photography Apparel Store.
To enter, simply submit up to 3 photos to our Photo Contest Flickr Group by midnight (Eastern) on Wednesday September 30th.
If you’re not entering the contest but would still like to sport your very own Jason D. Moore Photography tee or drink your morning coffee out of an official Jason D. Moore Photography mug, stop on over to the store and get yours today!
Also, I received a sample in the mail the other day of what will be a prize for one of our upcoming contests, perhaps next month. I don’t want to give it away but it is something I had never really thought of before but have since seen similar concepts popping up all over. It’s very unique and the results are fantastic! A huge thanks to one of my readers, Troy B., for sharing this idea with me and donating the prize!
More on that one later. For now, enter the September Photo Contest!
Wonders of Life – Flickr Photo Contest
Want a chance to win a Canon T1i?
I was contacted recently about a photo contest sponsored by the LIFE Foundation – a non-profit that works to educate people about making smart decisions in order to safeguard their families’ financial futures. They don’t endorse any product or company, they only seek to help people make educated decisions to protect their loved ones.
The purpose of the competition is to get Americans thinking about life insurance and how it can help preserve life’s wondrous moments. Submit one digital photo that captures a wondrous moment in the life of your family—one that conveys true peace, joy and meaning.
Enter and you may be able to capture other wondrous moments with a new Canon T1i, 12.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera—the top prize in the Wonders of Life Photo Contest. The camera is an $800 value! Entering is easy. During September 2009, upload your best digital image to the “Wonders of Life” Group at the photo-sharing website Flickr.com.
In addition to the Grand Prize, a panel of judges will select five Runners-up, with each receiving a $150 gift card to Bestbuy.com. Winners will be announced on or about November 1, 2009. Winning photos will be featured on the LIFE website.
Send in your photos in by the end of the month for your chance to win!
September Photo Contest
Please forgive the lack of a contest in August. With all of the excitement surrounding the BIG Photo Contest and the cool prize from Mpix for the July Photo Contest, I thought it made sense to take the month off.
Now that the month has begun, I’d like to open up the September Photo Contest! Complete details, as always, can be found on our Photo Contests page and entries may be submitted in the September Photo Contest Flickr Group.
The winner this month will receive something from the Jason D. Moore Photography Apparel Store. The winner will have their choice of one of the following Jason D. Moore Photography Logo items:
- Women’s Light T-Shirt
- Light T-Shirt
- Ringer T
- Women’s T-Shirt
- White T-Shirt
- stein
- mug
- large mug
- or tote bag
Good Luck!
Photo Contest Reminders
We’re coming up on the end of June already and that means the deadline for my June Photo Contest is almost upon us! There are already a number of great shots submitted but there is still time for you to send in up to 3 entries for your chance to win a free 8×10 of one of my photos. Complete contest rules can be found in the bottom half of my “Contests” page.
Also, I’m excited to announce that we’re almost at the halfway point in my BIG Photo Contest and we’ve already received 26 photos so far! I know there are 22 people registered so you better get crackin’ so you will get your collection of shots in on time to be considered for the grand prize worth over $1,000! Once again, complete contest rules can be found on the “Contests” page.
I hope you will send in your work to be a part of one or both of these contests. And while you’re over on the Contests page, please be sure to check out what our sponsors have to offer. They each have some great products and services that every photographer can find useful.
BIG Photo Contest Update
I am pleased to report that in addition to already having 11 members of the BIG Photo Contest Flickr Group, with a few submissions already coming in, we have locked in 6 official sponsors offering some fantastic items as part of our Grand Prize package as well as some prizes for 3 runners up! All told the Grand Prize winner will receive over $1,000 in prizes and services from our very generous sponsors! (Fitting for my 1,000th post, wouldn’t you say?)
Here’s a rundown of who our sponsors are and what they are contributing to the contest:
onOne Software is the creator of an award-winning series of plug-ins for Photoshop that are designed specifically to help you improve your workflow and increase your productivity. To that end, onOne has recently announced a new free version of thier popular PhotoTools 2 called PhotoTools 2 Lite.

Post #950! And the BIG Photo Contest!
I like to celebrate even the small milestones in life. And so it is today with my 950th blog post. I never want to forget all of the readers out there and those who have taken the time to comment and contribute to the life of the blog over the years. And a very special thank you to everyone who has been such a huge support by linking back, talking me up, sponsoring, guest posting, participating in projects, and just being great Friends-of-the-Blog. It really means a lot and you all have helped make this little corner of the web what it is, whatever role you play.
Thank You!
950 is a nice round number, and certainly a laudable goal in its own right, but it means that the next big milestone is a really big one. One that can’t be passed by with a casual mention on a single day. So, it’s not going to be…
