Photo Contest: Purpose

For those of you just joining us, this post is for a photo contest we’re having. A few of us fellas have dSLR cameras and we want to get some practice using them. You can only get so much experience by taking photos of cats or photos of nieces or nephews. Of course, kids and cats are cool. But, what’s more fun than that is the challenge of a competition. So, without further ado….

The assignment was to take a picture that comes from inspiration of the word purpose. Now, it’s your turn. We need you to vote on your favorite. Take a look at the pictures and vote for the one you like the most. Make sure you look at all of them before you decide.

Purpose: Which is your favorite?

  • To Sit on a Bench (34%, 24 Votes)
  • Stability (24%, 17 Votes)
  • Speak Listen Love (14%, 10 Votes)
  • Oh Snap (11%, 8 Votes)
  • Lighthouse (9%, 6 Votes)
  • Be Aware (7%, 5 Votes)

Total Voters: 70

Thanks for voting! Voting will close this Thursday at 3:00pm CST.

    It’s tough to decide. What are we judging on? The picture we like? How it fulfills the word/ theme. The quality of it? The beauty? Hmmmm

    Vote on which one is your favorite. You have to decide on what “favorite” means. I want it ambiguous so that it’s up to the voter and so that us photographers won’t be forced into pandering for votes. So, which ones is your favorite? Don’t worry, it’s anonymous - so you won’t hurt feelings.

    Wow. These photos are great, but more than just a photo will have to be provided to help me gain more insight, and therefore choose. A picture tells a thousand words, so give me some (i.e. a short little meaning or insight attached to each photo from the artist). -Kev

    I really want to see if I can guess who took which photos. I think I can do it, but I won’t taint the results.

    Common, Lighthouse is so the definition of purpose and look at the clouds. The clouds look like a weird kind of reflection of the sea. Cool pic!

    Well the fact is you might already have your assumptions, so my guessing should be secondary to it all. :) I think you should guess Melissa! :)

    I may have missed this…
    are you going to only do a one for the winning photo or
    rank 0-5 with the 5 going to the winning photo?
    or 0 to 10 if the winner is to get a bit of a bigger boost…

    ?
