This is atohner one that tells me to hurry up and try HDR, I have been resisiting for years but this is the sort of use that i personnally think makes a great photo.
- Wherever you go these days cancer seems to have thecoud every person in some way. I lost my grandfather on the 19th of February this year, the saddest day of my life. Every day as moments between us grow longer it seems that the sadness deepens. There was still just so much to learn, so much to say. But every now and then I hear his voice and am reminded that though he is gone from this world he is not gone from mine. He is there,guiding my course through life from a place that knows more of what is right for me than I do. I see things differently now, and every time I notice the difference I know that it is him pointing out the beauty in the moments I may not have noticed before. I am sure that your father is incredibly proud of who you have become and I know that if you look to the amazing images that you capture you will see a little bit of him in evey one, guiding your eye in new and spectacular direction. Because you are a part of him, becuase he created you, he will always live in who you are and what you do.
Congratulations to the top 30!!
This is by far the best loinokg site I?ve seen. It was completely easy to navigate and it was easy to look for the information I needed. Fantastic layout and great content!
My wrtiing style seems to change on a daily basis, I think over time it will develop into a more constant format. At least I hope it will Clog Moneys last blog post..
so many topics, so many different approaches. powerful stuff
@Katja Bak – cheers from Poland!
Grzegorz! Biały i Czerwony!
It is an Australian exhibition…I’m laughing to your selection..they are very weak..
the other posters are very strong …
h .h, you mean i’m laughing “at” your selection not to your selection….if you look and “read” what the posters are all about you will get a better idea.
- Hej Jonas!I have been checking your blog ever since I found you thugorh a colleague and I just have to say, you are the greatest! And I’m very happy you are from Sweden, because it gives me hope that maybe one day you could come here and shoot our family, too!Let me know when you are around!En stor kram pe5 dig!juliana
I am sorry for you…
sorry for this competition that is purely australian! most of the winners are australians. and i thought this competition judges the designs by creativity but most of the 30 selected are plain and too simple!
Hey Ibrahim, Nick from PP here. I was part of the shortlisting panel that chose the top 30. I can tell you that we had no idea where any of the posters came from at all.
Over the past 3 years we have seen a lot of Australian’s in the top 30, but this is because the competition is based here and we get some many more entries from Australia meaning there is a higher chance that they will be in the top 30! Make sense?

Congrats to all, great stuff all around. Bravo.
So many negative comments – that’s a shame. Really disheartening to hear in the community.
I’d say design is about getting an idea across quickly and provoking further thought – especially in this competition as the posters will be around the streets and looked at fleetingly. That’s why they have to be simple.
I don’t think the any of the 2,000+ entries are weak. They all have their own merit. It’s a shame that you are being so negative.
Furthermore I’d say so many of the top 30 are Australian because the competition is based in Australia and thus that is where it is most widely seen. It’s math.
Wow!!! while some are great, alot of these are very weak indeed!!! In both concept and execution? Did you guys actually look over all of them? Some amazingly well delivered ideas in the bunch which have been overlooked for what looks like 1st year designers vector work.
Pick up your game Judges……..
Hi Brefsone
We did indeed look over all the entries, I was part of the process and it was no easy task! Sorry to hear that you don’t agree with a lot of the selection. We feel that the 30 selected posters visually communicate their messages strongly. Design, as with every creative field, is very subjective by nature, so it’s inevitable that there will differences of opinion towards the top 30. What would your top 30 selection look like? We’d love to know!

None from India again!… Why?
It would have been amazing to have some entries from India this year. Unfortunately we didn’t choose any. Hopefully next year!
hassan Posted on You can name your blog on your own name like miror, one thing more, you should name it adriccong to your interest.
It is not the destination but the journey!!
Congrats guys!!!
been busy doing some pitch lately but i have to disagree with you that you did not know the origin of your selected top 30 because you require them to submit their email ad as well as their country of origin, right? i also noticed that among the more than 2000 entries you find two (2) entries from one guy in your selected top 30 and he’s australian. why? brain says nothing selected from india but you are able to choose 2 entries from one australian guy in your top 30. now for the design itself i always advised my creatives to think out of the box in executing designs and not be among the mediocres outside. yes design needs to be simple but it has to leave an impactful message to where it was supposed to communicate but with further analysis i find only a handful in your top 30 that leaves that kind of message. designs should be more creative that it challenges your imagination as well as the viewers. some i may say are too simple and too ordinary as compared to other entries who unfortunately was not among the top 30. congrats anyway for a successful event and hopefully you can do better with judging your selected top 30.
The development of color photography was held back by the limited sensitivity of early photographic materials, which were mostly sensitive to blue, only slightly sensitive to green and virtually insensitive to red. Thanks.

Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe
guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My site discusses
a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we
could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free
to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
