Hello all, and welcome to the Bird Photography Contest! I doubt there is much to explain about this - just find yourself a bird, be it a pet budgerigar or a penguin, point, and shoot. Not always quite as easy as that, so I'll be sure to give you a plenty of time.

Rules
1. Submit your OWN work only. Plagiarism will result in immediate disqualification.
2. Up to three (3) entries per participant allowed. Each entry is to be posted separately.
3. Everything must be uploaded on Elftown.

Judging & prizes
There will be four winners: first, second and third place by poll, as well as a host's favourite. Winners get a badge, and there is also one for participants. <URL:stuff/birdphotoparticipant.png>

Deadline is December 22nd, 2008.

2nd place: no. 10 by [Viking]
1st place: no. 29 by [Kuruni]

2008-10-06 [FamousPanda]: oo oo i wanna enter ^-^

2008-10-06 [Chimes]: Bah! I fail... the picture was worse than I remembered it to be. *hopes to take a new one*

2008-10-09 [FamousPanda]: no one pay attention to this anymore? lol

2008-10-09 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: They better. << I just entered. D=

2008-10-09 [Linderel]: *does, and is glad for new entries* :3

2008-10-09 [Viking]: *still watches, too*

I especially like [FamousPanda]'s "Walking" and [Tynuka-Rhytishy]'s "Self Cleaning".

2008-10-09 [FamousPanda]: thank you [Viking] and [Tynuka-Rhytishy] said thank you too, she is here with me ^-^

2008-10-09 [moira hawthorne]: wow there some awesome photos here

2008-10-10 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: I saw your hummingbird picture, [Viking], before I entered my pictures. I was looking through random houses and came up on yours, lol. I love the picture! ^^

I have a few photos of hummingbirds up close, but they're not as spectacular. I wish I could get one on a real flower. =o

2008-10-10 [Viking]: I've found that using the flash really helps. It brings out the color in the feathers, and allows you to use a higher shutter speed. I did get a pic of one on a flower a couple years ago, but it wasn't very good.

2008-10-10 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: My camera's extremely slow when it comes to the flash, lol. The only place I see the hummingbirds are at [FamousPanda]'s house and lately they've slowed down their activities, so I guess I'm waiting til spring or summer to see them again, lol. His feeder's hung up in front a window, so if I use flash, you can clearly see the reflection. I wish I had some sort of curtain or something to put in front of it.

2008-10-10 [Viking]: Ah, that can be a problem. I usually sit on my patio and take pictures of them.

2008-10-10 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Lol, we sit in a comfy swinging chair. If I'm really into it, I sit on the stairs in front of it.

2008-10-11 [Kuramasgirl]: I might go find more. >_> I'm not really sure what I have in my files anymore. Bit sad, really.
But anyway. I love all of these entries! They're so beautiful. :3

2008-10-11 [Easterling]: I like number 16. Sunrise glory.

2008-10-12 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Awh. Thank you [Easterling] ^-^

2008-10-15 [Byne]: I'mma post up my photo soon as I can get to it! x3

2008-10-15 [Byne]: I know its fairly boring at the moment, what with two photos of the same breed of bird... But I do have a third one on the way! Just gotta find the file on my computer. xD

2008-10-15 [Viking]: Booby photos are never boring!

2008-10-15 [Linderel]: [Byne], please refer to rule #3. <_<

2008-10-15 [Byne]: ...Oops. x: I'll change that when I upload the third image. x____x

Sorry.
