In this contest I would like to see some wonderful and artistic shots of our Milky Way. Find a dark sky and use a fast wide angle lens, high ISO setting and long shutter speed, and you can photograph our Milky Way. However, planning is part of the key in taking beautiful shots. If you wish, you can also use a moving hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, to shine on parts of the landscape to produce some added dramatic effects to the scene.
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.
