Now Open for Entries for the TP Banner!

Each month we are asking you to post a photo that you think deserves that top slot on the FB page, that you can share and brag about to your friends. The winner will be chosen by member vote and the winning photo will be there for all to see for a month. You don't have to have a Facebook account to enter of course, the competition will take place here and just the winning photograph will be added to the Talk Photography facebook page. [give us a LIKE if you haven't already please]


Of course there have to be a few simple rules and here they are.

  • The photo you submit MUST be cropped to this ratio > 851px x315px - This is where the challenge will lie, finding the right photo for such a ratio and avoiding the main focus being on that left hand side. Any photos not to this ratio will unfortunately not feature in the voting.
  • You will have one week each month to submit your photo and voting will be open for one week afterwards.
  • By submitting your photo, you are granting TalkPhotography permission to use that image for a month on the Talk Photography Facebook page and a post promoting the fact you have won within the status updates on the page.
  • The Talk Photography facebook page is an open, public page, so we must ask that all photos are 'family' friendly. [in other words, use your common sense ;) ] but other than that, the theme is totally open, unless otherwise stated for particular months.
  • You may add a small lower/upper right hand corner watermark if you wish, but no great big ones that cover/distort the photo or generally spoil the viewing experience.

So, here we go with this months, you are submitting photos that will feature on the page in April/May, so you have from now until midday, Wednesday 8th April to get your entries in. The voting will then be open until Wednesday 15th April, so our winner can be announced and added to the page. Post them in this thread please and don't forget that crop ratio.

We run this every month so it is worth remembering when you are taking photos to perhaps think about framing the odd picture to suit this crop with an entry in mind.

Good luck everyone :D


To demonstrate how the banner will look, including the left hand profile picture which obscures some of the image, here is how it looks featuring a previous winner.

Well here is mine, I love this technique and whenever I am waiting on someone or got 5 mins to spare I always try it out. I call this image "The Meander" and the person (yes it is a real person) is another photographer whom I just so happened to be waiting on. Anyway I do hope I have not offended all the photographers out there who perhaps don't see this as been photography! :exit:

I'll make the numbers up then ........ one from this morning

(I have to increase the saturation and vibrance for posting on here versus what they look like in LR)

If I edit the image ..... it looks like the image that I posted .........once I close the edit .....it is much duller and looses clarity)

Yeah I never ever vote for my own in anything like this just seems a little too much like nepotism

*Trying to decide if Matt is really weird, or actually related to himself?* :muted: :muted:

:LOL:


However, ditto, when I do enter I never vote for myself even I think mine is actually the best... well, I wouldn't if it was, it just never has been.

Yes nepotism wasn't really the right word for it, I guess thinking about it more now it's probably better to say don't want to appear a narcissist? Maybe that is a better word for it
