Photo Contest #1

**Lou Mongello** · 05-20-2004, 03:47 PM

I was thinking about starting a little photo contest thread on the site...

I'll post a different subject matter, attraction, etc., and invite forum members to post their best images!

Sound like a good idea? If so, here are the rules:

One photo per member per contest
The photos must be your own... no copyrighted or use of others' images permitted
You may either post images here as attachments, or upload them to the photo galleries
Once the submissions are made, we'll have a poll to vote for the best photos

Since it's the image most often associated with WDW, the first subject will be....

Cinderella Castle

This contest will run until June 1, 2004, so get your entries in soon!

Have fun!!!

This was taken with my Sony Cybershot on 12/7/2003

Needless to say, Tigger... out of all of our entries so far... your photo is the clear-cut winner

But you haven't seen mine yet ;)
Are there any rules as to "shopping" of the photos? ie can they be modified in The Gimp or Photoshop, etc? or are we looking for natural, unretouched pixtures?

**Lou Mongello** · 05-22-2004, 10:26 AM

I was looking for un-retouched photos... although you've come up with a great idea for another photo contest when this one is over!!!!

Okie dokie.....Pirate took this picture once night last fall right before Wishes! It is my favorite night time color of the castle....cept maybe the blue.. i love that one too!!

(I resized the picture for you and restored your post, Whispy.. Hope you don't mind... Lou)

**Whispy Pixie** · 05-24-2004, 08:37 AM

Lou....it is WONDERFUL!!! I tried and tried to resize and never could get it to work....just figured I would ask Pirate how to do it later...one of you is going to have to teach me..lol..THANKS SO MUCH!

I'm still trying to decide on my favorite to submit.

**Sam I Am** · 05-24-2004, 09:28 AM

I only have a really bad video capture of my favorite, so I'll go with this one:

I have a completely untouched photo that I took one morning from the balcony of our 21st floor condo. I realize it is not in WDW, but in all honesty...and this is true...is it a cloud formation of Mickey shaking hands with Minnie! I don't know how to insert photos, so I'll just type in the link...there are also other pics of my *backyard*! Hope you like them. This may not qualify for the contest...but it sure is worth a *looksee*!
