I wonder what system he is using to browse the images. If he is using the forums, and marking his choices that way, it will be a few months before he could go through them all. I'm hoping he had a way to batch download them and rate them in Bridge or LR. When I'm culling wedding images I can go through about 1,000 an hour. At that speed CR guy could be done with initial culling in only 13 hours!

This is a seriously big task, thanks CR guy for putting this on.

Cant wait to see the results 

[KacperP]

Me too. I jumped deep into impossible odds, but still I get a bit too excited about the results

[BaurMurza]

theyre building up suspense intensionally

[ZSuttonPhoto]

I know what you all mean.  The odds are low, but I've nearly ran out of things to cross...

[chefmarkus]

Getting bored of waiting...

[Orion]

^Got the perfect remedy for that: go out and take some photos!

[BaurMurza]

although there is a slim chance of me getting into the finalists *fingers crossed*, is there a forecast for the announcement? at least that way you dont have to check daily

Well for the first time I got a chance to do a wedding in the bahamas, and one in Astoria, Oregon. All for 2012! I don't have money for lenses yet, but in time I will make the money, I hope! For now I will have to rent, for major photoshoots because my 30D will not cut it, even though it is iconic camera! Winning this contest would make a whole lot of headaches go away. . .. but it just never works out like that haha

Whomever wins this contest, I hope it is a person down on his/her luck in terms of money and gear. . . . it would make me happy, even if it weren't myself.

peace.

I'm with you on that one, but it's hard to win a contest like this when you are going up against those who have 5,000 to 10,000 dollars in high end gear.

Truly going to be a tough choice, as I saw some very nice photos that I will have to get ahold of the shooters to see how they did some of them. Very impressed.

Good luck to all the entries.

Ehh, I disagree.
I've seen incredible photos taken with a phone. Infact, I read an article not too long ago of a photo that won a half a million dollar contest.  The camera used?  A samsung phone.

Infact, Chase Jarvis, winner of 'Photographer of the Year' this past year has an entire portfolio on his website of his iPhone photos.

Never let your equipment limit yourself as a photographer.
