Actually, all 53 of the images that were submitted to the Lightroom Giveaway I’ve been taking entries for on the blog were contenders. Truly some great images were submitted to the Flickr Thread for the giveaway I’ve been hosting for the past month. Some really great images.
The rules were simple: Take any two pictures you like in May, share them on Flickr thread (& be family/work-safe) and you are eligible to win a copy of Adobe Lightroom – courtesy of the good folks over at Adobe (especially Tom Hogarty who was kind enough to make an appearance on the podcast to talk about the product and to take so many listener questions!
Anyway, I said that after the close date (end of May), I would pick the ten images I thought were best and forward those on to him for a grand prize winner decision (not that there’s a 2nd place, runner-up, or anything like that). well, in perusing the images Monday and Tuesday, I really couldn’t decide on ten. There were just too many images that I felt deserving. Such is the case of contests and giveaways though – and the role of judge is a lot harder than I thought it would be. But, I did winnow the entries down though – just couldn’t go lower than 14. So, without further ado, here are the 14 finalists!
Naturally, rather than display the images in the blog, I figured it’d be appropriate to do so in a web gallery, created at the hands of Adobe Lightroom! Hopefully, this will also give people a little more insight into not only Lightroom, but into critiquing your own work and prepping contest submissions.
That’s it for today – congrats to all the finalists, ant thanks to everyone who participated – it was a lot of fun to see everything. We’ll see you back here again tomorrow, and hopefully I’ll hear from Tom soon on who the lucky winner is for the free copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom! Keep on shooting, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow!
