Hey guys, hope everyone is having a great weekend! This week's contest is inspired by a photo recently posted to our Instagram. The photo is a deck of Red Tycoon Playing cards in the hands of Steve Cohen, star of Chamber Magic at The Palace Hotel in New York City. As you can see in the photo, the deck of cards is the main focus, but in the background is a landscape of the city. We are using this composition as inspiration for this week's challenge.
The challenge is to take a photo of your favorite deck of cards, but in the background, make sure a landscape is visible. Whether it is an open field, a local park, or all architecture like in the photo linked above, we want you to use your outside surroundings to compliment your deck of cards. We are looking for the best overall photo in terms of composition, lighting, and which photo is the most memorable.
Post your photos to Instagram and hashtag it #theory11, then post the link to your photo in response to THIS forum thread (if you do not have an IG account, Imgur or direct file upload in your response will also work). Make sure your account is set to public so we can see your photo, and make sure your submission is posted by no later than 11:00pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, May 7th. After time is up, we will go through all submissions and decide ona winner based on the criteria listed above.
What can you take home? 1,000 Elite Member Points, and 6 Decks of NATIONAL Playing Cards.
Good luck!
