I hope this isn't considered spam. I've just finished (at least as far as I can tell, it's finished!) a website where photographers can battle one another. It's at www.cameraclash.com. I once belonged to another website like this, but they went the way of the dinosaurs. :cry: It is free to join and play. I found that it's a great way to come up with new ideas for stock and just to put the fun back into photography! The site is in beta stage now, so I would really appreciate people signing up and trying it out so I can find all of the bugs! While you're there, be sure to post your thoughts in the forum. Hope to see you there soon!

P.S. If you visit and don't sign up, could you let me know why?

Thanks!

cool concept - looks like fun. If I had more time, I'd enter one and I'd probably get my ass handed to me, also :P

I don't know about that... I've seen your portfolio! :wink: Seriously, though, there will be lots of newbies there. And by newbies, I mean people that are just into photography, not just stock shooters. The more people the merrier! Thanks for taking a look! Do you guys have an image link you'd like me to put on the site?

I signed up for you, and might frequent the forums a little...I'm not big into the battle thing, but it might be fun to watch.

What kind of pic are you looking for?

I didn't get the email either, but my spam filter did't get it, cause I didn't get any spam there all day (that's my business box so it gets almost no spam).

I've got an autumn shot if you want to use it (on my website right now) - what are the size requirements?

Thanks for the offer Gracey, but the way the site works is that the opponents have to make a new photo for the theme each round. You can't use someone else's photo or one that wasn't taken specifically for that round.

Regarding size requirements, I guess 800 x 600 would be the smallest. The system creates thumbnails and a larger 800 x 600 for people to view when judging, but I set a 2MB limit on file size so that it doesn't cost so much for bandwidth and disk space.

The first submission is up! Now it's my turn! Wish me luck!
