Default $3k almost won - week three

So, we're almost done! Your chips area almost cooked in what has been a very interesting three weeks of the dPS Forum Competition

(sponsored by www.digitalrev.com)


I popped a little poll up along side week three and 156 of you ticked a box.

  • 32 People are waiting for the right moment.
  • 56 of you don't have confidence in your ability.
  • 3 people were not interested.
  • 28 people just needed a little push.
To the 28 people, this is the last week for you to post a photo that says "life" this competition is here to hopefully help you progress in your thinking - most importantly, taking time to think about what a photograph means or says to you. SO, dear 28 people - go for it, now's your chance!

To the 32 people waiting for the right moment - baby, this is it!! get on board.

To the 56 people that are not so confident... Honestly, me either! But we're a pretty special group here on dPS - well, you lot are, I'm a grumpy old overworked community manager - I would say that if you wanted to take that first step n a totally no-pressure environment and see what became of it, that this is your ideal opportunity. Nobody is going to laugh and 2nd place isn't a loser like some other places will have you believe - neither would 1000th place be if we had one. Get involved, learn, that's why you're here right!! Good luck.

To the three people that are not interested... here's what you could have won!



or maybe a..



So - don't hold back - WEEK FOUR opens tonight!! You can DO IT!..

Oh, incidentally - First place is $1600.00 or equiv - What would you choose? I'd buy a Canon 7D Body...

I've been thinking about this a lot. I'd probably try to get a macro lens, and a wide angle lens. I've no idea what that is in money terms. Maybe a polarised filter. Small ambitions but would open things up for me a bit I guess.

I don't know really what the difference between an entry level camera 1000D or a higher entry level camera is.

$1600 should cover a used 5D and 70-200 f/4L.
