Last Week’s Contest Winners

Last week we had a great contest featuring self portraits! We had over 100 entries, and picking the winners was very tough. We decided to choose 5 people to win the contest! If you are one of the winners please contact us for your PRO!

This Week’s Contest

The contest for this week is Show motion/action. That means that something in your image should be moving or doing something. This is a great theme and allows for many different interpretations.

A great way to show motion is through motion blur using a slower shutter speed. Don’t worry, if done intentionally there is nothing wrong with a little blur in your photos.

You can also use lighting and light streaks to imply movement. Have fun and submit your images below!

Contest Guidelines:

How to Enter
Simply add your image to a comment below. Please only submit one image each week. You're submitting images to be edited, so don't do too much Photoshop beforehand. We want to teach not just how, but why edits are being made.

How to Win
The person who best exemplifies the contest theme will be the winner. If two entries are close, the amount of likes, comments, and a great description will be the deciding factor. Winners are chosen by the Phlearn team.

Legal
By submitting images, you give Phlearn LLC the right to digitally alter your image and display on Phlearn.com, and use your image and any resulting derivatives to promote Phlearn.com. We reserve the right to change the rules whenever we want.

    the title is “non era il cuore, non era il cuore, trallalalalla tralallallero”, inspired by a song by Fabrizio de André, a great italian musician. the song is called “Ballata dell’amore cieco o della vanità”. it is about a man who did everything for love, until he kills himself because she asked it, and he died smiling because he did it for her love. here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEsMZfYGqIM and i suggest you to read the translation to truly understand the photo and the deepness of the song. here’s the lyrics http://lyricstranslate.com/en/la-ballata-dell039amore-cieco-ballad-blind-love.html

    Does a “vacuuming my hallway in the middle of the night” self portrait count as an action photo? ;-)

  • http://twitter.com/CloudAgePhoto Anthony Chang

    Another chance to throw my hat in the ring. This one is another self portrait of myself reminiscing about my youth back when I use to box much more frequently.

    Also heres the same shot on my Flickr if you want to read a bit about this shot.
