How To Win A Portland Photo Contest

By Alyce Powell


The chance to enter into a Portland photo contest can be loads of fun and allow you the chance to win lots of cash or prizes. Often times, those who enter will have little or no training in taking pictures which will make the competition all that much more interesting.

Expensive cameras are not usually necessary when you are planning to enter a competition, the most important part is to choose a good subject and take the time to get the picture right. For a lot of people, having a camera that's not too expensive can actually help, as it can allow them to focus all of their energy on the subject of their pictures rather than the fancy technology, this is can be particularly helpful for a beginner.

Before you begin, make sure that you take the time to read all the rules and regulations regarding the competition that you are considering entering and that you actually qualify to be part of the event. Depending on the type of competition that you are entering, you may be limited in the size or topic of the picture so, you need to be sure you have read the competition rules very carefully before beginning.

Remember, there are often entry fees to get into various contests. The cost for entering a contest can vary from relatively low or no cost to a bit more pricy. Generally speaking, the contests that require a more substantial payment often have a bigger prize for the winner of the competition.

Once you have taken the time to confirm that you do indeed qualify and you've paid any necessary fees, turn your attention to the topic you would like to take pictures of. After you've chosen either a person or item, think about your surroundings. The amount of light you can get for your picture will play quite a big role in what the pictures will look like. Having too much or not enough light can make all the difference when you are looking for a nice clear picture.

If you choose to make the topic of your picture a person, allow them to act naturally and encourage them to be themselves as much as possible while you take the pictures. Letting your subject be his or her self during a photo shoot can allow the picture to turn out much more naturally and unique.

For most folks, the hardest part of the process is to pick the perfect picture to submit to the competition, especially if you find some pictures are very close in appearance. Whenever possible, ask family or friends if they can offer their opinion in which pictures came out the best. When choosing a picture, go with the picture that tends to catch your eye first.

If in the end, it turns out you are not the winner of a Portland photo contest, do not let that stop you from trying again. If another opportunity presents itself, definitely consider doing it again. Often, events such as these depend solely on the opinion of judges. Just because you did not get chosen the first time does not mean that you would not have the prize winner the next time. Above all, have fun while participating in the competition.
