The Secret Photographer Challenge now made easy at ipernity. Details here

The concept for the SPC, is that you vote for the photos based on their merits, without being biased by knowledge of who took the photo.

The game was started at Panoramio, currently the photos are hosted on a member's server, and I accept the various reasons why we have seen few new players, which is why I try this new method of running the game within ipernity.

First, what will be familiar to CWP players?
The use of a group to collect the photos for each contest, so the same viewing and voting methods that you use now.
A few regular moderators, so that the winner does not have to worry about running the next game, only the difficulty of deciding on the next theme.

The differences?
Your photo must not already be in your gallery.
It cannot have a watermark, nor even a frame that could reveal your identity, so you are advised to resize it to a lower resolution.
Instead of uploading it, you attach it to an ordinary email, sent to an address created by ipernity, which is linked to the account, (see ** below).
This results in the photo being added to the Iper Spc account,
- Photos for Secret Photographer Challenge.
The moderators add the photos to the group.

Do you have a photo suitable for this month's "Light and Shadows" contest? Details here
Please read the Game Rules especially section 2, regarding photo size and watermarks.

Perhaps as a first step into the SPC, you would like to vote, from 1st August, for which you will need to join the SPC Play Group

You might like to enjoy the skill of past winners, by taking a look at the SPC Podium Group

I hope I have stirred up some interest,
Cheers, Rob

** For your own interest, and not needed to play the SPC,
to find your own email upload address,
click "+Upload photos" and then see the "By email" link on the left.

I invite all CWP players to join in playing the SPC.

The theme is "Red", see discussion.

Submit up to three photos before 22:00 London time, 31st August.

Please check the rules, especially section 2 with details on how to upload by email.

If your archives are missing a suitable photo, you have until the end of the month, giving you time to take new photos for the contest, because you cannot use any photos already in your ipernity gallery.

Good luck

Siete tutti invitati a partecipare all'SPC che proviamo a fare qui in Ipernity.
Il tema è " Rosso".
Usate i link discussion e rules per capire come fare, visto che le foto saranno inviate via mail all'account IperSPC, che è quello dei moderatori.
Il gioco è iniziato oggi e finisce alle 22 del 31 agosto. Così se non avete foto nel vostro archivio avete tempo di farne di nuove, visto che non potete usare foto che sono già nella vostra galleria.
