TheSwissAquarist Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Should the C.A.R.E. forum host a best fish/shrimp/plant photo competition? Just putting it out there to see if the idea is popular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjum Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 If those who submitted photos were willing to share how they get good photos, I'd be very interested. I have yet to figure that out. But heck, I'd be happy just to look at pretty photos regardless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Step one for me would be: Buy a species of fish that holds still. Very still. I cannot get a good photo of my guppies to save my life. I would love to see others’ photos AND learn from them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalNerd98 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I would love to see the photos from that competition. @JimmyGimbal shared some good tips for taking photos of fish on the iPhone (sorry, I don’t know for you Android users). The part relevant to the phone stuff is at 6:40. Cheers! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leopard Bushfish or a betta. @Anjumand @PineSong, How about we set a date when it ends, and the winner is the one with the most reactions? Winner gets 4 bars of free Swiss chocolate sent from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @TheSwissAquarist I’m not a great photographer but that Swiss chocolate makes me want to take classes 🤣 mmmm Swiss chocolate 🍫 😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 @Anjum,@PineSong,@AnimalNerd98 ,@Guppysnail,@OutBout Try tagging as many people (or followers) as you can and ask them to put their best photos up. I'll invite @Fish Folk, @Mattlikesfish36, @TeeJay, @Odd Duck, and @Cory Hello, I hope you don't mind me tagging you but I'm organising a 🐟 and 🦐 photo competition on here and the winner gets 4 bars of Swiss chocolate, (2nd place 3 bars, etc) winner is the one with the most likes. If there are any equalities then both get a couple of bars. Have fun! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Yes that will be the challenge. Getting the pics of the fish. The tank itself is fairly easy lol. But sounds like fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Thanks for the reply @Mattlikesfish36! I'll invite @Flumpweesel, @xXInkedPhoenixX, and the newest member of this forum @Robstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @TheSwissAquarist thanks! Rules? Procedure? Deadline? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 In response to your questions @Fish Folk Rules :as stated above Procedure: Start a new topic entitled : Best fish photo competition where the first post clearly outline the rules and the prizes. Hopefully people will begin posting as soon as well-followed members start doing so. Deadline: 1st or 16th of October Reply if you have any ideas to make the format better or for different date (I have no idea about American public holidays- sorry!).

Anjum Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think Oct 1st gives everyone plenty of time. I'm sitting at my 29gal now & realizing I'll only be able to get decent pics in the evening. My living room has tons of windows & there's way too much glare during the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Oh gads. We'll need a worst photo category which I'll gladly submit to! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 @TheSwissAquarist where should we post? Are we all doing separate posts? One photo, or multiples? If you start a new thread, consider stating the standards (e.g. post three photos max, must be your fish / tanks), perhaps if you post, you must vote _once_. Participants can vote one 🏆 for their favorite, and two separate 💙s for separate runner-ups. 3x hearts = 1x trophy. Contest closes on _Oct [date]_. Just some ideas… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 I’m not sure we’ll be able to limit the amount that people vote @Fish Folk, as for the rest: I agree with the max. 3 photos limit Multiple or single posts Thanks for replying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
