Monochrome Theme

break.png

This week's theme is Monochrome. This should be a good one. So what does the term "monochrome" mean?

involving or producing visual images in a single color or in varying tones of a single color (such as gray).source

Images do not have to be in black and white, but they can be varying tones of a single color. Like a picture full of different tones of blues or any other color.

One thing I really like about monochrome photos is that you can really showcase a lot of emotion by getting rid of so many of the distractions that too much color can have. Monochrome is really good for portrait photography because it allows you to really focus on the subject and the emotions that are being displayed in the photos.

I am excited to see what you all can come up with this week for this theme. Be sure to follow the rules though to make sure that your entry is valid. There were a lot of people that did not state what tier they were going to compete in or include a photo from their post in their submission comment.

How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?

Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Saturday to get your submission in. There will be two tiers for the contest. A professional tier and an amateur tier. When making your submission, you must state which tier you will be competing in. I usually get a lot of entries, so make sure to follow all the rules or else your submission won't count and will likely be ignored.

I will not allow any entry that is not your own original photography. If you are caught plagiarizing someone else's work, you will be flagged and banned from participating in any future contest. So make sure that the photos you are submitting are ones that you personally take.

All entries must be done through the Liketu front end. One of the goals of the contest is to create more awareness of Liketu, so make sure that you create your post from https://liketu.com/.

You only get one entry per week, so make sure to spend some time on getting a good photo and creating a fun post about your entry. You will need to submit a link to your post in the comment section of the contest announcement post and you will need to include at least one image from your post in the comment you make. You are encouraged to share more than one image in your post. The more effort you put into your post, the more chance you have for curation and possibly winning your tier.

On top of a chance for curation from Liketu, the top three entries in each tier will be awarded as follows:

PlaceProfessionalAmateur
1st8 Hive4 Hive
2nd5 Hive3 Hive
3rd3 Hive2 Hive

Rules overview

  • Your entry must be made on Liketu.
  • No plagiarism. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will be flagged and banned from future contest.
  • You must state the tier you are competing in, Professional or Amateur.
  • You must comment on the weekly contest announcement post with a link to your entry and at least one photo from your post.

The rules are pretty easy, so make sure to follow them or your entry will be ignored. Now onto the first theme for the contest!

Congratulations to everyone! This sounds like some fun I'll be sure to get involved in it, I've always liked black and white pictures. You're right, the lack of colour helps to not distract so much from the image itself.

Hivebits blends Hive's blockchain and Bitcoin's ethos. Your effort = your reward. Mine HBIT simply 1-per-day with (no space): ! hivebits or ! HBIT or ! hbit or $ hbit.
Success! You mined .9 HBIT and the user you replied to received .1 HBIT on your behalf. You can receive 100% of the HBIT by replying to one of your own posts or comments. Or, support Hivebits at the official HBIT mine | your wallet | market | tools | connect | <><

This confirmation reply will go off when Resource Credits (RCs) get low. Yet, your hivebits command will still go through and you'll get your HBIT. :)

Awesome! Congratulations everyone. Great photos. This week is a bit of a challenge for me, but let's try it. Am I gonna debut this week's contest?

For some reason @liketu didn't upload one of my pictures, so that's the one I'm posting in here for the amateur category. This is a Coati, taken in southern Brazil. I opted for black & white because the sky and background was hidden behind thick mist.

Wow this is a cool contest. I want to join in the monochrome theme.
However, I have a question.

  1. What is the minimum number of photos to include in the post?
  2. What objects can be included?
    Thank you.

The minimum would be one photo, but the more the merrier. As far as objects, it doesn't matter as long as the photo fits the theme for the week.

Post-edit: it seems there's a glitch on some hive front ends, where the first photograph is not displayed correctly. I added a new version of it in an attempt to address the issue (to no avail). This version was edited in Photoshop following this simple tutorial.

(In case this last addition cannot be considered as an entry, please disregard it.)

Please go to the original post on Liketu in order to see all pictures.

The contest fascinated me because of its tier division. It's an encouragement to the amateurs like me. I would try to make my entry into it.
