or whatever. I have a very decent Sony Cybershot 13MP Carl Zeiss Lens for coin photography, which I believe is the best point and shoot camera available. I tried this before but I can not think of a better contest, so let us try it again OK - lets make a little museum art. Competition for the above camera, not much but perhaps enough to generate some lasting fun and worthwhile exhibits: Here are the rules: Post in a single thread anywhere on cointalk an exhibit of photographs with annotation of any coin of your choice. The exhibit which best meets Aesthetic, Educational and Numismatics goals laid forth will win. Three judges will rule, myself and I'll need two more volunteers. Ribbons will be awarded for 1,2md and 3rd place prizes. Subject Lines should say exactly: Exhibit: Coin Type - Coin Date - Photographed Date - Artist for example Exhibit: Standing Liberty Quarter Type I- 1917 - Photographed March 2008 - Ruben Safir you can use your handle if you want. Judge points: ____________ 10 Points: Numismatics: It has to be a coin and the subject of the exhibit must be coin related. The right up should discuss details of the coin as they pertain to your photos and how your photoed your coins to display their character. 10 Points: Art: Your photographs should be beautiful and unique. The aesthetic quality of the photographs is the purpose of the contest. The exhibit of photo's, arrangement, theme and photographic technique will all me considered 10 Points Educational: Your exhibit must have genuine educational merit. Historical, artistic, and numismatic education all count equally . Extra information: An extra 10 points will be given for using only Free Software to manipulate your images and design your exhibit. The Gimp, Inkscape and Openoffice are examples of good software to work with, and work on a vareity of platforms. You should discuss this in your wirte up or in a message in your thread. http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with-free-software.html Questions relating to your entry in order to help judge it will be put in your thread and responding can be nice Click here to enlarge Things not considered: The rarity and the value of the subject coin...I don't care although beautiful coin designs make interesting subjects !
