D-Lux 4 Challenge Rules:

 

Introduction:

 

The D-Lux 4 Challenge is an occasional competition on the Leica User Forum to celebrate and encourage use of the D-Lux 4 and Panasonic LX 3.

 

This is a test of the skill of photographers worldwide using the same basic camera and getting the best from it. It is open to all Leica User Forum members who own or have use of a Leica D-Lux 4 or Panasonic LX 3.

 

Shooting theme and period:

 

In order to participate you should shoot no more than 36 exposures (on a trust basis) using a Leica D-Lux 4 or Panasonic LX-3 camera, in line with a notified theme within a defined seven to fourteen day period (set by the person setting the theme).

 

Post processing:

 

All images entered must adhere to Leica User Forum posting rules on dimensions and file size.

 

Participants are encouraged to pre-visualise and preset their cameras and enter an image with the minimum of post processing. Extensive post processing (beyond levels and sharpening) is not within the spirit of the competition. It is not banned, but should be declared at time of posting. Ultimately, the best photographer should win, not the most adept post processor.

 

Entering your image:

 

Select your shot that in your view best matches the theme and post it onto a single thread set up for the purpose by the organiser.

 

Please give it a title.

 

The thread will be open for postings ONLY but NOT for voting until a declared date to allow all entries to be posted before voting starts. Your entries are not anonymous - feel free to include a short description of/explanation of your image.

 

Voting:

 

Voting will then be opened. Votes may then be cast on the following basis:

 

Three points for best, two points for second and one point for third, in the format:

 

"Image XXXX - 3 points

Image YYYY - 2 points

Image ZZZZ - 1 point"

 

You MUST cast three votes in total - one or two votes will be regarded as a "spoiled ballot" and not counted in the overall total.

 

Voting runs for two weeks. One vote per member, no voting for your own image.

 

The winner gets the right to set the theme for the next D Lux Challenge.
