So who entered the Surface "Photo's not Firearms" Contest?

what were everyones photos of?

i had a frog and a lady in a pink one piece with a fluffy pink scarf.
 
I did, but they did such a poor job of marketing it....i found the link on the front page because i was bored, i never check out those news feed, they should have made a thread (i might have missed it) to get it more exposure because i am sure lots of NS would have entered if they had known. Post up your pics that you entered guys, lets see your stuff.
 
This one, but edited, everything black and white apart from the Carousel itself:
So eh......Who won??

my buddy Dylan entered and said he got honorable mention i believe? no idea where/if the results are posted, i'm guessing he got e-mailed...
 
yeah, to be honest i'm going to be very disappointed if the winner is someone who shot something with a super expensive camera... i mean, if you can afford $1000+ for a camera, chances are you can afford to buy yourself a pair of surfaces... still excited to see who won though
 
i did the first time too, therefore i deserve at least a t-shirt. GAWDDDDAAMMNNNITTTT i want the results!

ps. followCam YOurs is dope! lets have everyone post up what they entered!

i think that is an entirely close-minded statement. people work hard for what they have, and who are you to dismiss someone because they decided that a new camera that would help them push themselves with their art, rather than buying an entirely new setup.

....not like i'm speaking from experience or anything...
 
I'm not saying that someone should be overlooked because they have the means to buy a camera, just that it closes the contest off from a shitload of people if this becomes a practice of photography/best quality photo rather than of self-expression and intent.

Obviously a picture shot with a professional quality camera is going to be higher quality than a commonplace digital camera, or of a disposable. Although, the winner of this contest probably had a really rad submission that could have been achieved with a lesser quality camera (assuming this is the case). I doubt surface would overlook a better picture because of its technology, that would be quite hypocritical and wouldn't really make sense with their brand.
 
They put up a thread but it got deleted because they don't pay for advertising on NS. Pretty lame of NS, I think.

Also, I know who won but I can't say anything. I think Mike's planning on announcing it today or at least soon.

I grabbed this shot for the contest, im not to sure about it though, its not creative enough maybe
 
not really, the sharpness of the lens, noise (or grain), colour graduation, and dynamic range are all more important as far as image quality, i know allot of pros who only use 6-8 megapixle cameras. mp's only really matter if your making large prints.
 
haha yea, they never updated their site... they opened up the contest again because they got next to no submissions the first time around. They made the announcement in a press release on the front page, i wouldnt have even known about it if i didnt randomly check the press releases because i was bored at work.
 
where did they post it? i wanna see the winners because the ones in this thread are fresh ta deaf
 
i dont think they oficially posted anythinbg yet, but they sent me an email telling me that my photo got honorable mention and they were gonna send me a softgood kit. should be posted soon tho.
 
Pippin... I was looking through the photos in the your signature link... if you didn't win, you will have been robbed. Some AMAZING stuff in there...
