kdemas Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted November 12, 2010 Hi all. We will be meeting in front of the SF MOMA at 11am on Sunday. We should have a really nice turnout from this and other enthusiast forums so it should be a great deal of fun. After we grab a bite those that wish to will head out to partake in the Decisive Challenge. Entries can come from around the globe but all submitted images must be shot on November 14th. Here's the scoop and I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Worldwide "Decisive Challenge" November 14th - Join In! The First Annual “Decisive Challenge”. With the Henri Cartier Bresson show making it’s way around the USA, the time is right for a challenge in honor of one of the more influential photographers of the 20th century. Join with fellow photographers from around the world to create a day where street shooting reigns supreme and a pillar of modern photography is remembered. When: November 14th Where: EVERYWHERE. The challenge itself is a worldwide challenge, open to anyone who wants to capture a “decisive moment” on November 14th. Let's see street work from around the world on one day, this day. If you happen to be local you can join the San Francisco group at the following location: San Francisco- SF MOMA at 11 AM for “Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century”. What’s this all about? On November 14th you will head out into your local city, village or town and try to make HCB proud. Shoot with the spirit of the master and attempt to capture an image that reflects the type of style and subject matter that HCB was known for. Don’t forget to let your style show through, nobody likes a copy cat! What are the rules? Not many. 1) This is not a limited “one lens, one camera” challenge, instead you can use whatever tool best works for you and take as many pictures as you like. HCB used the tools that were right for him, and if he was alive today he would do the same I am sure. It’s about the image and capturing the moment, use whatever allows you to do that. 2) All photos MUST BE TAKEN ON NOVEMBER 14th. Please submit all photos in Black and White. Well, that’s a nod to HCB and his preferred medium. 3) You have ALL DAY to shoot so you can find the light and conditions that are right for you. It’s the honor system, so an image taken one minute too early or late should not be submitted. 4) Each participant can enter two, and only two, photos. How do we submit our entries? You will have until midnight on November 30th to submit your entries via email to: HCBentries@gmail.com. 1) Submissions should be no more than 500k and measure no longer than 1000 pixels wide. 2) Each photo should include a Title and the submitters Real and Forum name, if you have one. Also please include the forum/site name you are a member of. 3) Pictures should not be shared anywhere before the contest. Anonymity is important for a nice fair vote later on. Then what? On December 2nd I will take all submitted photos and post them, in random order and with no names attached, to a site for review. Each photo will have a letter(letters) next to it and you will pick your top 3 and comment in the voting thread. Voting will be open until midnight December 12th. Votes will be tallied and the winner will be announced December 15th. Example where photo “x” is your favorite, “F” is your second choice and “A” is your 3rd favorite. You must make 3 selections or the votes will not be counted.: X-1 F-2 A-3 Prizes... Well beyond the obvious honor and thrill of winning this inaugural event we will work to find some token for each of the three top vote getters. Details will be posted at a later time regarding prizes but there will definitely be SOMETHING, at least something to bring about a chuckle at the very least. If you have an item you would like to donate for a prize please let me know! **Note- This challenge is in no way connected to or in association with the Cartier-Bresson family, Foundation or Magnum Photo. This is merely a grass-roots contest in honor of a famous and well-respected photographer and man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdemas Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted November 13, 2010 Haven't heard the details yet, sorry. I'll have my new (to me) M8 along, though. Deirdre, You're going to love the M8! There are quite a few of us in the group that use M8/9s, you'll be right at home. Mine might stay at home tomorrow as I have a ton of film to blow off but I'll be happy to help if you have any questions about your new camera.

andybarton Posted November 14, 2010 Share #11 Posted November 14, 2010 Any restriction on camera brand for this competition? And a word from the wise, , you need to make it clear when you start the voting, that your first choice has 3 points, second choice 2 points, etc. In your example above, that's not clear (to me at least) Have fun today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brand restriction on this one (though you can guess the preference) and I will definitely try to call out the scoring instructions more when it's time to vote. Thanks!
