Moon Lights!​
I love the summer, and one of the best things about the summer is being out side under the moon light! I am looking to you capture the essence of the "Moon" In your tank. It may be Fish, corals, or anything else in your tank, but it must be under the blues. Night time is a quite time, but there are some critters and things that love it just for that!

Each PAID member may submit 2 photos for each contest.

Here are the rules...

- First and forth most take it easy on me... I might appear to know what I'm doing but I'm making this up as I go along!

- I'll pick a new reef related theme each month... I'll be open to suggestions to make things interesting... PM me if you have an ideas and we'll see what happens...

- Each contest (PAID MEMBER ONLY!!!) will have a submission phase (about 2 weeks) and voting phase (7days!)

- Photos must be sent by email to this address: photocontest (at) bostonreefers (dot) org ; please include your forum screen name in the email message so if you win I can give you credit ; Also private message myself that you submitted photos. Please don't post any pictures in this thread only colorful bantering...

- Photos MUST be JPEGs, no larger than 800x600 pixels, and no bigger than 150KBytes; please try to submit as large a picture as possible within those limits. If they are not within these guidelines, they may not be included in the contest.

- I will collect all the photos and post them in random order in a separate voting thread (I will not remove any copyright/author information on the photos themselves)

- Photos should be judged according to content composition, color, and other relevant criteria. If they are clearly out of context they won't make it into the voting phase. I reserve the right to remove a picture if it is clearly not within the content...

- Please don't "stuff" the ballot box by registering for multiple accounts, asking friends to vote, or having people sign up just to vote... This is meant to be a fun way of showing off our photography skills please help keep it that way...

- Photos that have won earlier contests cannot be re-entered. As well the previous month's winner is not allowed to submit a photo until the following month, sorry Rob/Smartfish, but I think you have done this before :p

- It has to be your photograph that you took...and you have to be a paid member! :)

Any questions or comments, feel free to post here or contact me and I'll do my best

hey guys!! been out of town in Michigan for the past 2 weeks! Looking forward to seeing some more pictures come through!! i know its summer and we are all so very busy, but can not wait to see what every one has for us!!

I will be back in Boston next week if any one has any questions!!!
 
What kind of camera do you have, Owen? If you're using your phone camera, I've found that I get the best results when I up the brightness a bit and set the white balance to daylight or cloudy. Then I tweak them in photoshop a bit if the colors still aren't totally accurate. Some corals are just impossible to capture their true color under actinics without doing some adjusting.
 
Voting is going up on August 30th!! So that people can vote through the weekend (trying to be on time with this one..I know I know..Im a slacker!) but would love to get some more pics in for this contest..dont make me break out the iphone and take some... ;)
