We’re hosting an art show to show off all the fabulous winners of our first ever You Shoot contest. Why? Because we love you.
And you should love us back by attending on August 28 and checking out both the Flickr group members’ stunning images and CL staffers’ artwork.
Check out the ad below for more info.
We’ll see you there. Or else.
This week’s CL Flickr contest winner is ~bellatopia~, for this photo of a man seated on a milk crate in Atlanta Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. We (me and Tara-Lynne Pixley) like it for the composition and the tone.
For her effort, ~bellatopia~ wins a new car, or tickets to see moe., whichever costs us less.
Wait.
I just checked.
It’s the tickets.
This week’s CL YouShoot Flickr photo contest winner is this beauty-from-the-mundane snap of shoes on a wire by Flickr user eye3cee.
There’s a common thread among our winners. We like photos that find beauty in, or cause us to look twice at run-of-the-mill Atlanta things. I’ve seen more sneakers tossed over power lines than I can count. But I don’t think I’ve ever stopped and stared like this photographer did. Next time I will.
Keep submitting photos to our group. There’s another prize next week.
This week’s CL YouShoot Flickr photo contest winner is this snap of City Hall East by Flickr user soufwess.
It’s a gorgeous photo that will make me look up next time I’m drive down Ponce. If I rear-end someone’s car, I’m suing soufwesss.
For endangered motorists and pedestrians, soufwesss has won two tickets to see R.E.M. at Lakewood Amphitheatre on Saturday, June 21.
Keep submitting photos to our group. There’s another prize next week.
This week we have the first monthly winner as well as our weekly winner.
Tajphotog wins the weekly prize (IMAX tickets) with this fashion photo.
I know your first thought is probably “they chose that photo because it’s got a bunch of Creative Loafing papers as the background!” I assure you this is entirely not the case. I didn’t even notice that’s what it was until after I’d chosen the photo. And then I figured it was equally ridiculous to NOT pick what I deemed the best photo just because of that. So, there you go. Feel free to argue.
The lighting is understated, the concept is minimal and yet the effect is anything but. Tajphotog presents a fashionable capture in a simplistic way and it stands out. I like. It is a little different from the Atlanta building/skyline/hotspot pics we’ve been seeing up on the group but many of those are so equally stunning it’s becoming difficult to pick just one.
The monthly prize (Braves tickets) goes to kajatl. He uploaded 6 photos we were able to use on our Urban Explorer site and 119 total images to the group.
Thanks for all the photos guys. You’re making this group amazing. We have one more month of this contest so keep ‘em coming!
