Assignment: Best Of

[Sime™]

How about DPS and Crumpler give YOU a Christmas present and help you to improve your photography? Well, That's what we've been trying to do as a community all year (Minus the Crumpler bit, I guess) and, in return, we'd like to see your BEST of 2008. Merry Christmas and Happy new year (If that's your thing!) - Sime™

The photo can have been taken any time between January 1st and December 31st

The winner will receive a Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home

As always, the rules...

1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 1 of January and the 31st of December 2008 (until one of our moderators closes the the mini-contest).

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Best of" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (640px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text)

The first assignment for 2009 will be "FRESH" and will start sometime next Wednesday.

hi sime, I am confused...You have two dates mentioned as to when pic should have been taken. In the rules it says ...Dec 17 thru Dec 31...and on a separate line/paragraph it says Jan 1 to Dec 31. Do you mean it could have been taken last year, but must be submitted between dec 17 and 31? regards, dame
