Here is the detailed info of a new photography contest “A story with available light” by LeicaImages and Popflash where you can win a Leica X2 camera:
LeicaImages, the online photo gallery of images captured with world class Leica cameras and optics is pleased to announce it’s annual photography contest for 2012. Once again, the prize will be provided by PopFlash. Thanks to Tony Rose, the owner of PopFlash.com , who is a USA Authorized Leica dealer, the winner will receive a new Leica X2 camera.
The theme this year will be “A story with available light”. Creating a dramatic image which is enhanced by the use of available natural or artificial light. Simply put, this means no flash photography. The image should draw your attention and keep you interested by the story you can imagine from it and the impact the light has on the subject. Put your imagination and creative skills to work.
