Open to photographers with a bronze ranking. There are two other 'By candlelight' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the leaderboard for more information on Photocrowd rankings.
‘By candle’ is a lighting choice that effortlessly creates mood and drama and photos can be beautiful when taken correctly. But as this is a low-light setting, there is some technique to getting the right exposure. For a start, always be careful of other light sources that are near your candle’s glow, as they’ll usually detract from it!
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
