OK,
I just got a new lense for my Digital Rebel and I want to see if it is all it's cracked up to be. So I purpose a cage match in photography. The subject matter can be decided upon between us. All the photo contest rules apply, and to the winner goes bragging rights and 75 credits. Once the contest is decided we'll have 5 days to submit our entries and then the voting begins.
Any one game???

I'm on it,...
What a lense did you get ? I got the 300d too (european rebel) since january 1, ...
For the rest, I ain't got 75credts to offer at this time,... only the regular contest's pricee,
...
Dunno for the subject, prefer waiting for another addict to propose...
So if I'm your man with all the credts I got ??
ps: what do you mean by "bragging rights" ??
[QUOTE=swillox]ps: what do you mean by "bragging rights" ??[/QUOTE]That means the winner gets to say "I kicked your sorry ass" in the forums or in the site chatroom.
I've NEVER seen it invoked :)

Hey Swillox,
The new lense I got was the Sigma 55-200mm F4-5.6 DC. It's basically Sigma's answer to digital cameras. Supposedly the lense in more in- tune with digital cameras to give a better picture than when using non-digital lenses. I tried it out last night and was pleased, but the picture quality didn't seem to match the hype. The photos I took did seem a little bit sharper than with my other lenses, but you can't really tell a difference unless you really look.
As for credits, I don't want you to have to go all in on this. So why don't you set the credit amount and I'll go with that.
As for subject matter I think it is cool to have other addicts pick, so to all please throw out some ideas.
If we don't here from anyone by night you and I will figure it out.
Sound Good

hep, Newby,....
Seems to be a cool lens you got there, is there anywhere I can see one or two pic you took with it, (why not post them in your gallery here for a while...) ?
Great you let me set the amount: let's say 10credts (infinite jackpotmax if you want to set more than i am :D kidding)...
Now let's see what the addicts have to propose...
HEHO FALLOW ADDICTS, WE NEED A PHOTO CONTEST IDEA HERE !....
Another way, if we don't get any response, is to setting up a poll with our own propositions first ...
See you
I'd like to suggest "legs" as a theme, that's different.

OK Swillow,
Agreed 10 credits it is. As for the matter of legs, I just don't know about that one. (Besides I think Dave has a leg fetish :D ). How about something with a theme of Red.
What do you think?

Legs ...doesn't have to be people or even animate, just involving legs ..... even a chair, it's a very open subject.

Yes but I thought I'd keep it to 2 as that's the standard - if it's really necessary, I'll alter it :)
