1. "Unadorned" - [Elegy - gone]

28th of November 2006, in the evening. I don't know much about photography, nor about glamour, so I thought I'd stick with simple and rather try my hand at some fancy hair and make-up. Didn't work too well, but at least I've given it a shot. Taken in my room, up against a white wall.
Proof:

2. "For all my fans" - [Apus]

Taken around 12:30pm, 1st December 2006 in my bedroom especially for the competition. An autographed picture for all my fans! ^_^"
Certificate of Authenticity:

3. "Vampo-glamouria" - [Vampire Akis]

Taken on 2nd December, in my boyfriend's sister's room around 3am. I hope they'll accept this one! ^^
Glamouro-proof:

4. "Roxanne" - [Avrora_Black]

Hmm....Model-me,the photo is taken in my room (the Christmas lights still hanging;) ), on the 7th January. I know I had previous entries,but I made new ones and I see them as more appropriate for here;) *Note:It's the angle of shooting that made me look that skinny*

"Sway me" - [Avrora_Black]

Same model, taken in my bathroom-the light there is really good...7th January again. By the way, on both photos I'm wearing a costume from a jazz dance I performed last year.I had forgotten it deep in the wardrobe,but when I found it,I though it looked glamorous in some way...:D Named after a song my Dean Martin.

Proof: (no real proof, very sry. i completely forgot. i put up a color version in place, hope that works.)

6. [Atayemi]
A)

December 3rd, in the evening.
Well this is my third try..and if this one isn't acceptable, I'll keep trying I suppose. Anyways, I put a rose in my hair for a slight glamour effect and looked up some Marilyn Monroe pictures, and saw that she looks to the side sometimes like in this picture: http://www.celebrities.pl/marilyn_monroe/marilyn4.jpg not facing the camera. She looked quite natural yet glamourus and so hopefully this is too. It is a theme worth taking a risk to try. Though, it's hard. :P
Proof:

B) [Atayemi]
'The Girl With The Golden Disc'

I wanted another go, so here I am again! I usually have my hair down so I put it up for a change, added some makeup and wore my new scarf which I had for Christmas. I had some old cd's which I found, so I thought why not use one of them? They're shiny! :D

15. "Façade" - [Just.Kate]

<img100*0:stuff/glamour_kieli_entry.jpg>

Uh. Since I literally JUST now shot this, its 2:27am CST on December 14, 2006. o.O; This was shot in one corner of my very empty dining room. I usually use that blank wall as a huge projection screen for my mini-anime-conventions. But it makes a nice background for photos as well. ^^; Some of you with a keener eye might note that my make-up is NOT even. Yes, I did this on purpose, and yes, it ties in with the mask. I find that many Hollywood types wear a mask, and behind the façade of glitz and glamour, they are usually just like you and I, with families, friends, hobbies, and problems.

18. "I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art." - [toycar]

Taken on the 19th/20th December at around 4am, when crena decided that she didn’t feel all that much up to sleeping. With nothing but uplate gameshows on tv, with skimpy girls wearing bikinis, I decided to take photos of myself pretty much topless instead :) -note: I give credit to Madonna for the very fitting quote which I’ve chosen to title my work as xD

<img100*0:img/drawing/141863_1167375436.jpg>

I wasn't too sure if these two fit the criterion, but I was thinking of the Hollywood glamour, and what was behind it. It's dirty and lonely. Yet those who are truly glamorous bring life and beauty into possible scene you can imagine-- thus, it's a beautiful darkness.
These pictures were taken in a bathroom in my house at 12:00 on December 29, 2006.

46. "Private Dick" - [Trennas]

2007-01-05 [Sunrose]: [Elmiira], you need to submit a proofpicture in colour, a picture where you're holding a sign saying 'I love Elftown' taken during the same photoshoot you took the submission in :)

2007-01-05 [Empee]: does it have to say " I love Elftown "? ;)

2007-01-05 [Teufelsweib]: it has to have something to do with elftown and that you love it, I guess you can be creative about it further :P

2007-01-05 [Sunrose]: We request the specific note so that we are sure you made the picture for this contest :)

2007-01-05 [Empee]: hehe, okay. Just wondered if it would be a minus point if you don't say those exact words ;)

2007-01-05 [Teufelsweib]: noo, of course not ;) as long as it's clear enough!

2007-01-05 [Empee]: *phew* And today was photo time =D It's more time-consuming than one might think o.O

2007-01-06 [Elmiira]: okay, sorry.. :S I don't have a pic holding any sign from that day, as I didn't know the rule then. Is is allowed to add a proofpic taken today, or do I just remove the pic.. :S

2007-01-06 [Sunrose]: You have to take them at the same time :(

2007-01-06 [Elmiira]: okay so I'll remove it. stupid thouh, as i really took it for this contest.. It was stupid really.. I jus looked for a contest, then ended up on this page, got excited and went to take the pic. I read something but obviously not enough. Anyway, tough luck, I'll try again for the next contest I guess.. unless I do the same makeup all over again and take a new pic.. But I'm not sure if I have energy to do the SAME shooting all over again. :D As I already took about 100 pics...

2007-01-06 [Sunrose]: Well, even if you looked only at this entry page, you would see each entrant added a small thumbnail to a proofpicture. It could've been a clue to read the rules more precisely and they clearly state that a proofpicture is required to be allowed to enter... :/

2007-01-06 [Elmiira]: yeah, i know. I said it was my mistake. :) I'm not angry to anyone. And hey, I got plenty of really nice pictures anyway. :) Well, I read the theme and the rules section, but failed to notice the additional rules section.. I was in a hurry to plan the pics. anyway.. I didn't join the forum them, I joined it only today, so I obviously didn't notice the proofpics then. :S But.. I'll be vicer next time then.

2007-01-06 [Elmiira]: I could do it all over again though. I like taking photos and I really would like to join this contest. It won't be that bad after all, if I just have time someday for it. :) Putting make up and all is actually so much fun. :D I just don't have a good reason for it often..

2007-01-06 [Empee]: There's still plenty of time anyway ^^ Two more weeks to go.

2007-01-06 [Elmiira]: heh, yeah.. I just am way too busy. :D School, work, exams coming, all the hobbies and I want to meet my friend somewhere in between too. :S But I'll try. After all, photoraphing IS one of my hobbies. :)

2007-01-06 [Empee]: *^__^* Take it easy.

2007-01-06 [MissiMaLy]: Okay.. i think I'm supposed to go somewhere specific and ask questions or something-- but i'm really new to this whole contest entering stuff so if someone could help me out i'd really appreciate it =) I'm not too sure on how to upload a picture onto this page... I've taken the picture, and the proof one too, but how do i put it on the page?? thanx to anyone who could help me =)

2007-01-06 [Papa Don't Preach]: right click the picture, click properties and copy the url..
then come on here and paste url but put <img:
at the start and at the end put >

2007-01-07 [Kelaria]: I hope mine fits the theme well enough! :D

2007-01-07 [Ilana]: Sure it does. I like the vintage-looking dress.

2007-01-07 [MissiMaLy]: Thanx so much for the help !!
I'm sorry if my pictures a little big... it didn't look right when I had it at the 100 so i thought i'd make it a lil bigger, hope thats not a problem...

just wanted to say that everyone's pictures look really beautiful =)

2007-01-07 [Kelaria]: Thank you ^^ It's actually a dress I bought for my college spring formal :P but it looked somewhat vintage so I put it on the other night and glammed it up for the camera! :P

2007-01-08 [Delladreing]: I really need to get my ass in gear and take photos >.o

Everyone looks so purty though :3

2007-01-09 [Avrora_Black]: I love the new entry:D her eyes are really expressive

2007-01-09 [Black Raven]: <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

2007-01-09 [Empee]: wow, it's raining new entries today xD

2007-01-09 [Faery]: [Lothuriel], Sunrose said in the forum that Sepia tone to simulate age was ok... Posts nr: 416332 and 416335

2007-01-09 [Teufelsweib]: that was true, indeed :)

2007-01-09 [Lothuriel]: Oh, ok sorry I must have missed that post. I will remove the comment then.

2007-01-09 [Sunrose]: Hmm [Avrora_Black]'s new entries remind me of [Kaimee] a bit! :)
Nice work everyone! ^_^

They are so classy and glamorous! There are so many new ones today, it's wonderful:P We even have another man;)

2007-01-09 [Sahraminkukka]: Top hats rock :P I wish it was mine, but I borrowed it from a teacher :(

2007-01-09 [Lothuriel]: I can't seem to find a model. I think I am going to have to pay my 9 year old, lol...

2007-01-09 [Sahraminkukka]: Give him some candy :P

2007-01-09 [Lothuriel]: LOL...she may just take that bribe, lol.

2007-01-09 [Sahraminkukka]: Oh, sorry, didn't know which gender you were talking about

2007-01-09 [Apus]: Indeed, I totally approve of the top hat, I just wish I had one...and a monocle...I already have a cloak and cane! ^_^"

2007-01-09 [Lothuriel]: 'tis alright [Sahraminkukka], no worries. I can't just assume everyone knows the gender of my children. ^__^

2007-01-09 [Faery]: Thanks Gato!It was so hard to choose 2 out of 86 really different pics!!

2007-01-09 [Teufelsweib]: after reconsider, decided to put up another pic. don't worry, it's from the same shoot ;)

2007-01-09 [Avrora_Black]: I made a hat like that once, for a friend of mine's helloween costume.she couldn't find one, so instead we bought some black paper and I did one of those hats for her.it actually looks quite real, I can show you
She was Oscar Wilde;)

2007-01-09 [moira hawthorne]: I have a real one... its cool... im wearing it for my photo

2007-01-09 [Avrora_Black]: I love those hats:P They are certailny glamorous, even though I don't know why- they just seem to fit on the head of every person, especially the small cute female top hats, they are very stylish;) Half of the girls wear that on the prom after they graduate...

2007-01-10 [Ilana]: I wish I had a top hat. [Mekashef] has one that I want to steal, but it's too big for me. I'm trying to get him to enter this contest.

2007-01-10 [Black Raven]: thank you [Avrora_Black]!,i like your's too,hey we both of us are Black!! <img:stuff/zabuN-gif.gif>

2007-01-10 [Avrora_Black]: Yep, we're from the same familly;) The black ones <img:stuff/exitedN-gif.gif>

2007-01-10 [Black Raven]: can photos be transparent?i mean it be circle or another shape?

2007-01-10 [Sunrose]: I think that's alright :)

2007-01-12 [moira hawthorne]: [elvenstarr] those are lovely

2007-01-12 [Kelaria]: I love that dress [elvenstarr]!! I've always loved that style!!

2007-01-12 [elvenstarr]: Thanks ^_^

2007-01-12 [Lothuriel]: YEs, gourgeous!

2007-01-15 [Papa Don't Preach]: if you put in another photo from a different shoot, will you have to put in an extra proof too? :S

2007-01-15 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: [Elisha Kelly] you look like an angel!

2007-01-16 [Elisha Kelly]: *giggle snort!* I wish!!!! :P

2007-01-16 [Lothuriel]: All of these are so wonderful!

2007-01-16 [Papa Don't Preach]: :S

2007-01-16 [Nocternity S.]: 4 More days!!!

2007-01-16 [Keii]: Great lighting and composition [Empee] :)

2007-01-16 [Empee]: Wow, what a quick reaction =D Thanks a lot [Keii]! *^_^*

2007-01-16 [Elegy - gone]: Gods, I adore that first one, [Empee]! It's perfect, it's everything it's suppose to be! Amazing work <3

2007-01-16 [Empee]: Gosh, you're too nice *blush* ^^ Thank you so much.

2007-01-16 [Kyrinn]: I like the second one of yours [Empee], very elegant!

2007-01-16 [Empee]: Thank you!! =D I was already considering replacing that later, but if folks like it then not ^^

2007-01-16 [Sunrose]: You should add the detailed-image to this page too :P

2007-01-16 [Empee]: hmm... I tried to upload the bigger version onto my house, but then it seemed to have been resized automatically.
So it would be ok if I add a close-up of the same picture?

2007-01-16 [Sunrose]: I have given you wikiprivs, then you can upload a bigger version of the picture at whole!
I'll send an explanation-message about it ^^

2007-01-16 [Empee]: Great! ^_^

2007-01-16 [moira hawthorne]: [Empee] "L´élégance de la fumée" that is awesome beautiful!

2007-01-16 [Ilana]: I'm pretty impressed, [Empee]. It looks very professional.

2007-01-16 [RadiationNation.]: [Empee]'s is really nice.

2007-01-17 [Empee]: You're all so nice ! *Throws roses and bows* Thanks! =D

2007-01-17 [Papa Don't Preach]: :S can anyone help with my enquiry above???

2007-01-17 [Linderel]: [Papa Don't Preach]: Probably yes. The point of the proof is to show that the picture has been taken for this contest, after all, and if there are several shoots, I'd imagine there should be proofs for them all... Not 100% sure about this, though, but it never hurts to do things just in case. ;)

2007-01-17 [Papa Don't Preach]: thats what i though, but i wasnt sure. just cos i'm thinking of making another entry

2007-01-17 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: so many pretty people in elftown ^^

2007-01-17 [Papa Don't Preach]: eep!!!

2007-01-17 [moira hawthorne]: [Jeppe] very coool

2007-01-17 [banu]: Good photos [Jeppe]:)

2007-01-17 [Lothuriel]: Enter James Bond....

2007-01-17 [Yuriona]: Love it [Jeppe]!!

2007-01-17 [Jeppe]: Thanks a lot everybody.

2007-01-17 [Avrora_Black]: Wow....[Jeppe], you are so stylish and James Bondish :D

2007-01-18 [Empee]: Damn, just 5 men against 38 women o.O I guess there won't be separate categories after all =(

2007-01-18 [Apus]: I think there should be a seperate poll for the guys...how else will we stand a chance against all these beauties? =P

2007-01-18 [Kyrinn]: How many are there? *counts* Four? It might be a possibility..

2007-01-18 [Empee]: yeah, 5. I also think it's unfair, women have all their shiny things and dresses. It's hard to compare them to the gentlemen ^^

2007-01-18 [Nocternity S.]: but they can take pictures of women...

2007-01-18 [Empee]: oh right...

2007-01-18 [Black Raven]: [Empee] it's 37 women now!be happy ;)

2007-01-18 [iippo]: I'm in love with your hair Alexa @_@ It's like... Amelie! <3

2007-01-18 [moira hawthorne]: im sorry you had to take your photos out Black Raven

2007-01-18 [Black Raven]: never mind,i did :)

2007-01-18 [Empee]: But I'm not happy that you deleted yours [Black Raven] o.O Why did that happen?

And thanks [iippo] =D Amelie... de Montmartre? ^^ Anyway, I wish it would act as it does on the photo in real life too >.<

2007-01-18 [Black Raven]: emmm...becuz of my situation,job,country and etc. :/

2007-01-18 [Empee]: ^O_O^? Oh well, in any case I'm sorry you had to take them down. I thought they were very good.

2007-01-18 [Black Raven]: Thank you,i wish i see you all in the other competitions ^_^

2007-01-18 [Papa Don't Preach]: i'm sorry you had to take them down, they were very pretty. =[

2007-01-18 [Black Raven]: thank you very much [Papa Don't Preach]:),i'm sorry too to lose this competition :(

2007-01-18 [Janouk]: [Empee], yours are brilliant! :o

2007-01-18 [Teufelsweib]: awesome [Jeppe]! ^^

2007-01-18 [Empee]: Thanks [Janouk]!

2007-01-18 [Papa Don't Preach]: *hugs [Black Raven]*, you can enter other ones though cant you?

2007-01-18 [irulan]: I need to remove my image, but I don't want to screw up the numbering. Should I just put "removed" or something? I have photos from the same shoot, but I thought I had an Elftown sign in them but I was wrong...

2007-01-18 [MisLuck]: you can put just removed.

2007-01-18 [Sunrose]: Errr, do you have a coloured version from the same photoshoot?

2007-01-19 [irulan]: Yep, I have a coloured version but no ET sign or anything. :/

2007-01-19 [Black Raven]: yes i can,i'll enter the drowing contets!so i see you there,is'nt it?

2007-01-19 [Papa Don't Preach]: cool

2007-01-19 [Sunrose]: Can you show it? :)

2007-01-19 [Dark Side of the Moon]: Oh my gosh! [Empee] and [Jeppe]'s photos are brilliant!

2007-01-19 [Saray]: Agreed, I love them!
[Trennas] and I are gonna post our entries in a few hours :)

2007-01-19 [Delladreing]: Question: Does this end at midnight ET time, or do we still have tomorrow to post entries as well?

2007-01-19 [Linderel]: Ideally, it'll be closed at midnight ET time... at the end of tomorrow. ;)

2007-01-19 [Empee]: Thanks for the kind words ^^

And is the contest going to be closed at midnight?

2007-01-19 [Delladreing]: Ah good stuff. My photoshop just broke my laptop, and its the only thing I have to resize/edit photos with -.-

2007-01-19 [Kyrinn]: *hugs* Im not going to make it either.. My camera is being fickle and Ive been working more than being artsy. *SIGH* Oh well. there is always the next one!

2007-01-19 [Delladreing]: *hugs* I'm just glad I have until midnight tomorrow night. This is the only competition that has interested me Ever so far :P

Shame about the camera though :S I hope it doesn't stay fickle.

2007-01-19 [Kyrinn]: I hope not too. Im going to reset it and try a different pair of batteries. It just has to make it to April, then Ill be getting me a new one!

2007-01-19 [Kelaria]: I resize photos in paint ;) lol! and edit them to be B&W or Sepia with the photo editing program that came with my camera :P
I've never had photoshop in my life and only use it on school computers every five months or so XD XD :P

2007-01-19 [Delladreing]: Yay for April then :)

I stole my father's camera >.>

2007-01-19 [Kyrinn]: I used to resize stuff in there too, but I have found it easier to deal with Photoshop. At least when its not being squirrelly, lol..

2007-01-19 [Kelaria]: Yeah, it probably is, but I'm too poor to afford that expensive program XD XD lol!

2007-01-19 [Delladreing]: *cough* mine cost me £30...but uhm...t'was not quite legally acquired shall we say >.>;

Although its never broke a computer before :S

2007-01-19 [Keii]: Aw, I didn't have enough time to do anything for this. Nevermind though, it's been fun just watching everyone else enter ^^

2007-01-20 [Saray]: weeeeeeh its done:D

2007-01-20 [Nocternity S.]: wow... nice ^^

2007-01-20 [Empee]: yeah, really cool =D *points at [Saray]&[Trennas]*
as expected ;)

2007-01-20 [Trennas]: thanks sweety:D they're not nearly as perfect as yours though ^^

2007-01-20 [Empee]: bah ^^ but thanks. Actually we took exactly the same picture as you did, with Jeppe, but the quality sucked. Yours is waaay better =)

2007-01-20 [Trennas]: hahaha XD lucky me then ^^

2007-01-20 [Lothuriel]: I don't think [Trennas] nor [Saray] can take bad pictures. It just wouldn't be natural! <img:stuff/cheshmak.gif>

2007-01-20 [Avrora_Black]: yeah, they are amazing....

2007-01-20 [Kyrinn]: [Delladreing] I like the set up!

Well, I wont make it on this one. Darn finicky camera. *glares at it* Nice entries though! This one will be hard to decide on!

2007-01-20 [Delladreing]: Thanks Kyrinn :)

2007-01-20 [Nadie importante]: omg ill have time to enter my entries:O:D!!

2007-01-20 [Saray]: Thanks guys :) But [Empee]'s and [Jeppe]'s are way more awesome ;)

2007-01-20 [banu]: Awww, you are so beautiful my lovely friend, [Lothuriel]!!!o^_^o *LOVES&HUGS*

2007-01-20 [Shjahjdahdvwa]: They really got it right! Jeppe looks like a james bond, and alexa looks like a famous diva <img:44166_1164145197.gif> <img:61691_1126352591.gif>

2007-01-21 [Empee]: *hugs [Saray] and [Shjahjdahdvwa]* *^_^*

2007-01-21 [Papa Don't Preach]: this closed now?

2007-01-21 [Teufelsweib]: awesome pics, Moira! ^^
and yes, this contest is closed now :)

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: sooooooo I did get right in under the gun.. and thx u... I only took about 100...

2007-01-21 [Yncke]: Yes, a pity it doesn't follow special rule number 2.

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: 2) Black and white: this means no colour ;) We allow photomanipulation so this shouldn't be a problem.

its a black and white photo that I coloured... photomanipulation are being allowed.. just like there are other examples - 8 others - of sepia toned photos.. which was popular at the time... Glamour Colourization just like my mother's wedding photo was also popular.. do some research... this is call being artistic.. and not just changing a colour photo to greyscale... and leaving door hinges and other random b/g garbage in...

2007-01-21 [Yncke]: 'Black and white' as in monochromatic, 'photomanipulation not a problem' as in you can take your photos using a colour camera and then turn them into B&W. Sepia was pointed out as being allowed on the forum associated with this contest in the answer onposting [416332 (Unknown or private posting)].

I'm just pointing this out. I'm not assembling the poll so it's not my call, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was excluded, if I were you.

2007-01-21 [Trennas]: cha, it clearly states b&w entries, though there are other photographs that have a slight hint of color to them..

2007-01-21 [Sunrose]: (The actual posting on sepia is [415655 (Unknown or private posting)] ;)
The technique is called photochrome: a colourizing process combining photography and colour lithography (wikipedia).
It falls under the same category as sepiatoning I suppose, as it is an effort to recreate the photography of that time.
Neither of these technique's are however actually allowed in the rules, an exception was made for sepia after the question in the forum:
If you want to use a certain technique that is not included in the rules, it would be proper to ask about it first.
[Yncke] explained correctly how you misinterpreted the rules, and I think you're not very nice in the way you responded to her (ie saying 'do some research... this is call being artistic..').

I suppose the technique could be allowed as it was used in those days. Personally though I don't feel your entry reflects that day and time. It looks more like the hippy 70's or hiphop 80's.

2007-01-21 [Saray]: Moira darling, you have an entire fence in your background. :P
Other people did their best for their photo's too, you know.

2007-01-21 [Nadie importante]: and some had to take their pictures on their own..not everyone has someone they trust enough to start posing and stuff..or is uber with a computer to fix flaws, but sunrose is right it looks more 70's 80's though your other entry is pretty good..even my mom commented it beforexD

2007-01-21 [Yuriona]: I agree with you Sunny. It would have been better to check with either Sunrose or [Lothuriel] before posting a photo using a technique that clearly falls outside of the rules moira and you were very rude to [Yncke], a respected council member who was merely trying to help you.
Your photo is very nice with the wooden backdrop and the fur rimmed coat is perfect for the glamour style that is looked for here but that awful cap and modern style glasses clearly do not fit the theme.

2007-01-21 [Saray]: I agree with the above.

2007-01-21 [Trennas]: and so i do really.. sides, even the title of that picture states "Glam Rock 60 Style.."

2007-01-21 [Papa Don't Preach]: i do too.

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: Same.

2007-01-21 [Sunrose]: [Trennas]: The contest refers to the period of 30's-60's (ie Frank Sinatra in the 60's), it's just that this entry doesn't give that appearance..

2007-01-21 [Atayemi]: I think it's the hat in my opinion, it looks very modern. O.o

2007-01-21 [Trennas]: must have missed that one; sorry ^^ I thought i read 30-40's ^^

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: It looks more 80's to me I'm afraid to say. I think it may be the hat.

2007-01-21 [Sunrose]: @[Trennas]: Yea it is mainly the 30's-40's, but the style kind of lasted through the 60's too with celebs like Sinatra and such ^^'

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: I have to agree. The second photo in No. 50 clearly does not fit the theme. The first one is perfect!

2007-01-21 [Ilana]: Oh boy oh boy! I can hardly wait to see who wins this...

2007-01-21 [Apus]: Wasn't the contest meant to be closed on the 20th? How come it's still open? >_>

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: oooh and that hat is of the style of the time period...

2007-01-21 [Sunrose]: I've removed a couple of comments, one was hurting my eyes and the rest started repeating what was already said ;)
The deadline will be extended for a week, it will be closed at the end of the 27th :)
As for the hat: I don't remember hats with skulls in the 30's :/

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: Exactly my point about the hat o.O

2007-01-21 [Papa Don't Preach]: ok kool. might add another entry ^^;

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: can I do a Glamour Colourization which was very popular technique during the time period...???

2007-01-21 [Nadie importante]: so how come the deadline was extended?

2007-01-21 [Sunrose]: @[Nadie importante]: The deadline was extended because of the surprising amount of people who still want to get a chance to enter, now they have this chance :)

2007-01-21 [sequeena_rae]: As far as I am aware, this contest is about black and white glamour photography. It's the style of clothing and posing we want, not colouring techniques.

As I said, as far as I'm aware. You're all free to jump in and jip me at any point >_o

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: I don't think colorization would be a good idea. Although it was very popular then and looks beautiful, it is not what we are looking for. That would be a good contest though *ponders* thanks for the idea...Oh, darn! Now I want to start another contest!

2007-01-21 [Yuriona]: Yeah but sepia toning is still just one tone hence the term 'monochromatic'.

2007-01-21 [Nadie importante]: but colouring doesnt really make it feel very of the era, however i've seen enough sepia pictures of hollywood stars and its about giving it that touch of...not modern? so colour, wether they used it or not, seems...modern?
anyone can correct me if im wrong i suppose^^

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: No, you said it right.

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: fine... I got a week... I shoot another without the hat.. and without colour glamouriztion... but likely Ill sepia tone it like my first entery I did...

and Ill look forward to a contest with the theme 'BLK & WH Photos Glamour Colourization'

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: I'm on it! hehe... <img:stuff/dand-gif.gif>

2007-01-21 [Trennas]: if this wasnt a black and white contest, wouldnt it be just like any other portrait contest, only with a glamour theme? that doesnt stroke very well with the golden age of hollywood if you ask me. i am pro black and white; the people who did use sepia tones have asked if they could and were allowed; that doesnt mean everybody should just start to use color instead of b&w now does it?

2007-01-21 [Papa Don't Preach]: cool. it would be good to do what you did [moira hawthorne] tho i dont know how to do it. i loved the pic but i just didnt think it was right for this. sorry :(

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: it was a colourization process on top of a blk and white photo.... same as sepia toning is... limited colour is used... it not a full colour.. and during the time period they didnt have the technology to reproduce it / photogragh it again so it was only an end produce... you have to have an original to see the process... I had my mother's wedding photo... and I also studied and made ones during college...

2007-01-21 [Avrora_Black]: I think it was said before but old photos tend to have the sepia style with time. Personally,I did my photos directly using the black & white and the sepia filther of my camera.

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: there were two ways that sepia tone was done at the time... one was age and sun damage as the silver photo chemicals changed on there own... the natural ageing process... but there is also a way to tone it in the photo developement that was used.. this is before sepia flither of cameras or PS

2007-01-21 [Avrora_Black]: I have an exemple:) It's not a celebrity from the 50's,it's my mother when she was around 20. She's much older now, but when they took this photo of her it used to be black and white but now it has aged:

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: Wow, she was beautiful!

2007-01-21 [Ilana]: Wow... your mom sure was pretty.

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: Vintage Glamour

2007-01-21 [Yuriona]: This isn't the place for arguments either guys. If you wish to continue the discussion on other glamour styles used in photographs, go to vintage glamour. If you wish to discuss this contest and its monochromatic, 30s - 40s style glamour then please do so. If you want to fight over your personal opinions then take it to personal messages so the rest of us don't have to see it. Thank you.

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: Question :)
If I were to do a photo shot of what I consider to be a portrait of me i.e. my shoes (see my house for a reference) would that be acceptable? Or am I reaching now?

2007-01-21 [Sunrose]: (I have cleared up the comments a bit)
@Dela: It should be a picture of you (or your model) physically, not something that resembles you in whatever way :)

2007-01-21 [moira hawthorne]: wow Id say thats a glamourios phot of feet/shoes... and a cool crop

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: Well...my shoes and legs :P But point taken.

Although it has given me an idea in how I can work that idea out. Thank you.

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: If you don't want to show your face, you could cover in mostly with shadow or a large vintage hat.

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: That was my thought.

I'm just uncomfortable with my face being shown, so for a long time my "portrait" has been the red shoes in my house. Why I feel it would be better. Although I'll submit it along with the one above for the hell of it.

2007-01-21 [Lothuriel]: http://www.amazingadornments.com/vanityfair1954.jpg
you could try something like this...

2007-01-21 [Delladreing]: I could, thank you I was looking for a reference :)
