📷 Steemit Photo Challenge #15 - UPDATES + THEME ANNOUNCEMENT - Guest Judge @randyclemens
That was a rough weekend, but I'm feeling much better, thanks for all the well wishes.
Let’s get some business out the way first…
Couple changes to the SPC as follows:
Themes will continue to be announced on Thursday at my convenience, usually by 2pm (UTC-4) unless somebody is willing to help me with an automated posting system, then we can have them go out automagically at midnight with all the proper formatting.
However, the deadline for entries will be extended to Tuesday at midnight (UTC-4) instead of Sunday.
Judging will then occur from Tuesday until Thursday, when the winners and the new theme will be announced.
Prizes
I’m thinking about switching to SBD, because each week the value of the prizes has gone down so much.
I’m proposing:
1st: 35 SBD
2nd: 25 SBD
3rd: 15 SBD
Honourable Mentions: 5 SBD (x5)
That, right now, is worth a bit more than the current prizes in Steem.
What do you think? Would you prefer SBD or Steem?
More than that, which would be better for Steemit?
Without further ado…
Guest Judge: @randyclemens
The theme for SPC #15 will be
Spiderwebs
Chosen by guest judge @randyclemens
Here are examples of spiderwebs
I’m looking for something beautiful, intricate, delicate. Try to show them in a new way, if you can!
Try to be creative with the angles, lighting and composition etc.
Here is some of my own work, as further example
Extra Prize
I'll be giving away one $50USD Amazon Gift Card to the commenter who leaves good feedback on what ends up being the winning photo. A comment such as "awesome!' "great work!" doesn't count — I want real feedback.
One person will win, will it be you?
Leave your feedback on all your favourites, let the photographers know what you think.

Another challenge, let's keep this one civil guys, no matter how you look at it, photography is subjective :)
What do you guys think about technology , as the theme for the next #steemitphotochallenge ?
I think SBD is better for now. I like the idea of the extra prize for good feedback. Thanks for the new challenge. I have never managed to take a good spiderweb photo and am looking forward to seeing the entries.
oh my god please please different subject next time. i feel like they're crawling all over me and i see them jumping around out of the corner of my eye. ugh... :(
I promise that next week will not be spiderwebs again :)
Spiders? ;)
Have the spider, now need the web.
Great challenge! I might have an old photo kicking around somewhere. It's a bit chilly (if you consider the 50s to be cold) for spiders.
As for payout... hmm... I believe STEEM is actually better for the platform as long as people are using it to power up. But SBD helps buy little goodies. Personally, I like both. It might add a bit more work but, like the 50/50 payout structure that might be the route to go?
Well, either way is easy, just wonder what everyone would prefer.
Will try shooting but most likely sitting out again.
I tried shooting spider webs before. Either the spider is not big enough resulting in the web not cool enough and/or shooting spider web on a mobile phone is too lame.
Damn Spiders I have kill them all. Will a drawing do?
Or a dead spider 🕷 do?
The theme is webs, so you don't have to have the spider. Just look for webs to shoot! :)
No he said spiderswebs
Thanks, still the wrong season to hunt for spider. The weather here still very cold.
Yes, they didn't said you need a spider.
Now, if you have a spider drawing and on top or around that there is a real spider web, that will be some entry. Hmm....., will they accept those fake spider web like the Halloween decorations?
Thanks @jamtaylor, the extra time will definitely help us all not feel so rushed getting our entires in!
Steem or SBD? I think either, as if the recipient wants the other it trivial to "buy and sell" on the internal market.
it's #15
Thanks.
Thanks for your work! You do a lot more than you think! I recently became involved, I hope that someday win. I think SBD will be better than STEEM. Although I personally would have preferred SP in the amount of SBD ;)
