Our hands are used for so much. From mundane tasks like scratching our heads to fantastic endeavors like painting a great masterpiece. They can convey our emotions and help us to survive.

The hands can be doing something, showing emotion, helping, or giving a message of some kind. Your photo can include any props you may wish, but the only part of the body visible should be the hands. Be creative and let your hands speak through your photography. The first hands contest can be found here.

94. Squirrel!?
Contest goal:
It’s time for another pet photo contests, but this time there is a catch. It has to be a side profile, in other words, side view. You may include anything you want in the picture, but please make sure that your pet is the main focus and viewed from the side. Both portraits and full body shots are allowed. Since the term ‘pet’ can be explained in many ways we will allow most animals as pets. Animals such as gorilla, lions, tigers, bears and such will be off theme unless you can show proof that it is in fact a pet and not just at the zoo. Get creative and have fun!

Contest goal:
This is a photo contest with a twist! Because in this contest you are allowed to use Photoshop in a very limited way. Here’s the deal: Pretend I’m a CEO of a large company and I saw you portfolio here at pxleyes, of course: I’m impressed and I’m willing to give you a big break! I want you to make a tabloid size (landscape or portrait) ad for me. You must shoot one of our products close up and your photo must include the logo and, even though it is a close up, the product must be recognizable! So, if you decide to shoot a microwave it must be clear in the photo it is a microwave of our brand, including the brand name clearly visible. Now here’s the little catch: you’ll have to come up with a small and catchy tagline as well, which you have to include in your photo. To do so you are allowed to use Photoshop (but only for adding the tagline!) Keep the tagline short (3-5 words) so it will stick to customers minds. I do not care which kind of brand name and product you use, just make sure you give it a positive feeling and make people want to buy this product. Have fun in this challenge with a twist! You must post the original photo in the SBS. An example can be found here. To summarize: Take a product shot for an ad, the logo must be clearly visible and readable. As a twist, you will be allowed to use Photoshop to ad a Tagline, 3 – 5 words. Post the original photo without tagline in the SBS.

The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. It is the basis of the wheel which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern civilization possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped inspire the development of geometry and calculus. Your goal in this contest is to creatively capture one or more circular shapes and/or circles. They are all around us, one example would be your camera lens. Please make sure that the circle is the major focal point of the picture, not one that we have to look for. Also make sure it’s a complete 360 degree circle. Good luck everyone!

15. Kleopatra…
Contest goal:
It’s time for another pet photo contests, but this time there is a catch. It has to be a side profile, in other words, side view. You may include anything you want in the picture, but please make sure that your pet is the main focus and viewed from the side. Both portraits and full body shots are allowed. Since the term ‘pet’ can be explained in many ways we will allow most animals as pets. Animals such as gorilla, lions, tigers, bears and such will be off theme unless you can show proof that it is in fact a pet and not just at the zoo. Get creative and have fun!

9. Toy intersection
Contest goal:
The way this works is that you take a picture and make it look like a macro image by creating depth of field by blurring certain parts. Playing with curves to create contrasty and bright images helps the illusion of making your items looks like they are fake. EDIT: To help clear up confusion, you may not do any partial selections in this contest. Having a low depth of field and high contrast will aid in creating the “toy” look for your photo. Your subject does not need to be a toy itself but must share some photographic characteristics (ie. bright, contrasty colors). The purpose of this contest is to make something appear “toy like.” Photographing an actual toy is not allowed (although it may be in the composition of your shot so long as it is not the focus). A perfect example of this would be making a wide angle shot of a zoo appear to be a toy model through the use of depth of field and high contrast. Selective blurring/editing is NOT allowed.

8. Like a prayer
Contest goal:
Our hands are used for so much. From mundane tasks like scratching our heads to fantastic endeavors like painting a great masterpiece. They can convey our emotions and help us to survive. Some may even say that our hands define who we are. In this contest, you need to take a photograph of hands, 1 or more. Other objects can be present, but the main focus should be on the hand(s). The hands can be doing something, showing emotion, helping, or giving a message of some kind. Your photo can include any props you may wish, but the only part of the body visible should be the hands. Be creative and let your hands speak through your photography. The first hands contest can be found here.
