It is preferred that you take your photos between today (December 1st) and December 31st. If for some reason you are stuck on the 31st without a few of the items on your list, then you can use a maximum of two photos from your archives, as long as they were taken less than one year ago. You ARE allowed (and encouraged!) to use Photoshop or other photo-editing software as you’d like (it often adds to the artistic quality of the photo).
It is up to you whether you post your photos on your blog as you go, or wait until December 31st to unveil them and make it a surprise. One thing I ask is that everyone who participates posts all 20 photos in one single post on their blogs or in a set in an online gallery on December 31st/January 1st.
A new post will go up here at photohuntchallenges.com on January 1st. I will be using the Mr. Linky auto-link widget. Anyone who completes Photo Hunt #5 will need to add their name & the URL permalink of where their Photo Hunt photos are posted. Everyone who adds their name to the auto-link will have their photos considered for my Favorites. After I go through all of the participants’ entries, I will post my favorite photos for each of the 2o items on the list in a separate blog post with a poll for each. Please note that I will not include archived photos in my favorites (it hardly seems fair!) Anyone who votes is encouraged to vote based on their favorite photo, not just for a particular photographer. Voting is also open to anyone and everyone. The polls are open for exactly one month from the time I create them and I create each post as time allows throughout the month. After all polls are closed I will compile the photos of all the winners and will display them here on the photohuntchallenges.com blog.
If you would like to participate, please sign-up by adding your name and blog url to the Mr. Linky widget below (Note: Mr Lin sometimes has technological issues so if you don’t see the widget now, come back again a little later!). If you would like to recruit others for the photohuntchallenges.com Photo Hunt or announce your participation, please feel free to post the above badge on your blogs and remember to link back to this post.
