Landscapes

This week's theme is landscapes. One of the cool things about landscape photography is that it can show off some pretty cool places here in our world we live in. Landscape photography is more than just pointing your camera outwards and hoping that it turns out good.

You need to plan your shots in order to make a more appealing photo. This includes paying attention to the foreground and backgrounds to make sure that important things don't get covered up. You can also use foreground to frame the background of your shots. A good landscape photo should tell you a little something about the area the photo was taken. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?

Every Sunday, I will announce a new theme for the week and you will have until Friday 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:

Rules overview

• Your entry must be made on Liketu.

• 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!
