Hi everybody and welcome to the Nikon Cafe Challenge #1
I will be your host for this event and I hope for a srtong participation from actual and new members of this new exciting site/discussion forum.
The goal of the Challenges will be to encourrage photographers of this site to engage into a photographic discipline with a given subject and given rules, sometimes out of your usual comfort zone. This is usually a good way of learning and getting better, kind of an assignment for a job.
The rules will be separated in two sections, the posting/participation rules and the voting rules.
In both cases they will need to be followed in order to not be disqualified from ther challenge
SUBJECT: SOMETHING MOVING
Please, try to be imaginative
IT COULD BE ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT IS IN PERCEPTIBLE MOVEMENT, ANYTHING GOES.

5- A voter cannot give more than 4 points for artistic value to a given image. 4 points is the max allowed to an image for artistic value
6- A voter cannot give more than 4 points for technical aspect to a given image. 4 points is the max allowed to an image for technical aspect
Example: I can give 3 pts for artistic and 2 points for tech asp for a total of 5 points. The max an image can reach is 8 pts per voters (4 + 4). If I give 4 pts for artistic and 4 points for tech asp, I still have 7 points usable for artistic and 7 points usable for tech asp ...

9- After expiration of the voting period, the Host of the Challenge will cumulate the points for the pictures. The picture that receives the highest score (Artistic Value + Technical Aspects added together) will win the challenge and will be the host of the next Challenge. In case of a tie even between two or more pictures, the picture that will receive the most points for Artistic Value will win (among the tied pictures), if there is still a tie, the picture having received the most votes will win. If there is still a freken tie, we are FUCKED .... :lol:
10- Honnorable mention will be given to the picture with the highest score for Artistic Value and the same for Technical Aspect.
11- A VOTER CANNOT VOTE FOR IT'S OWN IMAGE PLEASE ... :lol: DON'T LAUGH, I HAVE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
