As a token of thanks (and a way to bribe you to keep supporting me LOL), I am now holding my first NTME Photography contest! The prize is a $15 iTunes card! Yay! I gotta start small okay? But if you help me get customers, then I'll offer bigger prizes LOL.
I would like a picture of a fruit in a place where it wouldn't normally be.
Basically, I will show you some examples below. I had a traveling apple when Fred and I went on a trip to San Francisco. We not only took pictures of ourselves, we also took pictures of the apple at every place we stopped to sight see.
It's random, and people may look at you. But that's what makes it fun! We want your most creative randomly placed fruit picture. :) ALSO, we need a picture of you holding your fruit at or near the same scene around the same time so we know that you took that picture. You know, those arms-length photos that people love to take and use as Facebook profile pictures? Hehe.. or get someone else to take a picture of you and your fruit.
I don't care if you are shooting with a SLR camera, a point and shoot, or a cellphone, it's all gravy with me! BUT PLEASE NO FANCY STUFF LIKE PHOTOSHOP. And just use the available lighting and such. Fred and I will narrow it down to our favorite top 5. Then we will draw randomly from a hat or something and choose a winner.
To enter you must complete the following steps:
1) Comment on this blog post with your REAL NAME PLEASE and tell me what your favorite fruit is in the whole wide world.
(Yes, what can I say, I appreciate comments :) 2) Become an NTME Photography fan on my Facebook fan site (if you haven't already):
3) Email your 2 pictures (a fruit picture and a picture of you holding your fruit) to me at ntme.photography@gmail.com
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME :)
I will then post the pictures onto my Facebook fan page in an album after making sure they are appropriate hahaha.
Deadline is one week from today, Monday, March 8, 2010 at 11:59pm.
Winner will be announced at some point on Tuesday, March 9, 2010.
ps. My favorite fruit is a pineapple. But not fresh ones.. canned ones HAHAHA.
CLARIFICATIONS:
Please take pictures of FRESH fruit. But it doesn't have to be your favorite fruit. :)
Hi Tasha! My favorite fruit of all time is mangoes!... And not just ordinary mangoes, they MUST be from the Philippines and I MUST be there too to enjoy them fully! Sad to say, I've probably only had my favorite fruit for a handful of days of my life :(
ReplyDeleteHi Steff! Awww thanks for sharing!!! Well I hope one day soon, you get to enjoy many many mangoes in the PI again!!
ReplyDeleteRight now, my favorite fruits are strawberries! ESpecially the kinds from Farmers Markets! Okay, now I have to take a picture of a fruit.. ahaha
ReplyDeleteI love Bananas!!!! yay! now to take a picture of one :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fruit is strawberries! OK, just for clarification, you want pictures of fresh fruit? Or can I walk around with a can of pineapples?? Since they are your favorite! haha
ReplyDeleteI would like fresh fruit please! Although canned pineapples ARE my favorite HAHAHAHA
ReplyDeletei like pears.
ReplyDeletei like coconuts but don't have a camera or a coconut. :T someday, i'll win one of your contests... when you become bigger and you give away a life time supply of ritas water ice or something. that'll be the day...
ReplyDeleteI like fresh green guavas, soaked in vinegar!
ReplyDeleteMy number one favorite fruit are Philippine mangoes. But they're not available here except for the dried ones, so I took pictures of my next favorite fruit which is apple bananas. In the Philippines it is called latundan. You're right, people do give me a funny look when they saw me taking pictures of bananas. I just pretended that I didn't notice :)
ReplyDeleteAww contest ended? Darn.. I JUST had a great idea where to place my fruit :D Next contest please! Lol.
ReplyDeleteNo you made it Jaclyn! it ends tonight at 11:59pm :)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA I misread :D Okies, I'm entering my lola then! Her favorite fruits are bananas :)
ReplyDeleteNot that she's gonna use an iTunes gift card, but it's her idea :) LOL!
ReplyDeleteWOW! So many favorites to choose from... it's a toss between Mangoes and Watermelons, but the Mangoes win. I was not able to a hold of either for the picture... they were both busy, but thanks to my wife I found Mr Apple hanging out in my lunch bag today so he got the photo gig... Me and Mr Red Apple took a walk through old town during lunch. We sat by the water and watched the birds go by as we talked about how much we missed Ms Mango and Mr Watermelon... I think I'm going to go see Ms Mango tomorrow... Natasha, Mr Red says thank you for saving his life today...
