I work at Circuit City and RANDOMLY found a sheet of paper that the Nikon rep had left in our office (that would have been thrown away had I not seen it) mentioning a contest for Circuit City associates where they can enter their pictures to win some (not so impressive) prizes. It's not a big deal but I'd like to see if I could win. My main concern is that there are only 5 catagories and they are rather random. Landscape, Travel, Family, Nature, and Artist/Creative. There are no descriptions of the catagories at all and I'm worried they will simply DQ a large portion of the submissions for not qualifying to fit into the catagory.
This is the picture that I'd like to use for Nature:
This is the one I was thinking about using for Landscape:
AND I only have one more option (max 3 pictures in 3 different catagories allowed.)
These are some pictures that I REALLY like but I had no idea what catagory they could go in, the horses might count as "travel" which the judges might like for its creative interpretation or simply dismiss because of its off-topic content.
It's possible that I could enter one of the last 2 in the "artist/creative" section because of the use of slower shutter speeds but I have no idea how that title is to be interpreted.
Check out some of my recent shots here and let me know if there are more appropriate/better shots for the catagories. I'm kinda at a loss here.
All shots are with a D70s w/ Nikkor 80-200 2.8 ED except for the sunset pic which was with my old Sony Cybershot F-505V. Overall comments and tips would be greatly appreciated (only used an SLR like 4 times in my life so I'm still learning - I work part time for an equestrian photography company that provides me with equipment.. the D70s was a loaner while their D2h was in for that recall fix.)
