We were watching Twitter and saw a post by our good friend Philip Bloom about a new, end-of-year contest he’s running on his site – Reflecting on 2010. We liked the idea so much we decided to throw a bunch of prizes into the mix:

Here’s the short version directly from Philips mouth/blog:

…You have until December the 31s to get this in…The film should reflect what this year has meant to you, find a way to sum it up. It doesn’t have to be you talking to camera or voiceover. There are many ways to tell a story without the traditional methods. You just need to think a bit harder. It could be one key thing that has affected your life, one key person. It’s totally up to you…

Among other prizes, winners can receive:

• On of 3 copies of Nick Cambpell’s Vintage Film for Looks
• On of 3 copies of Stu Maschwitz’s Rebel Epic for Looks

Get the full info on how to enter the “Reflect your 2010″ contest HERE.

We had a lot of great entries for our Plastic Bullet contest, but, ultimately, we had to choose only 3 winners. And here they are:

A fantastic shot, right out of a magazine I am not hip enough to be reading, from @jculpjr.

A perfect memory captured in time, by @LonnyQ.

Nice black and white shot from @luxurymindz

Thanks again folks for your fantastic entries. It was truly painful bringing it to just a final 3, because we really loved so many of the shots.

And the Random winner of the Plastic Bullet Contest is @texasmwade. This was @texasmwade’s picture:

The picture also included the following caption:

“This is my entry for the iPad contest! Hoping a hot chick and a bitchin’ 1981 Z28 Camaro are things you guys like! It’s a cool app!”

Thanks! We think the App is pretty cool too. And the good news is, whether we like bitchin’ cars or not – Dude! You won an iPad.

FYI – We used Rowfeeder.com to capture all entries to the contest. After removing any posts that were ineligible (based on the contest rules), we used Random.org to randomly pick the winner from list of contestants.

But now on to 2nd Prize… We’ll anounce the skill-based winners next week. We have to go through them as a team, here at RG. We’ll let you know soon. Thanks to everyone for their great submissions!

Day 7 is the charm I guess! Tons of great last-minute entries for the Plastic Bullet contest:

The contest is over. We will be announcing winners in the next few days. Thanks so much for all the submissions. Great stuff!

With the new iOS HDR photography options, and the new iPods with cameras, we hope to do another contest soon. Stay tuned.

What an awesome holiday weekend! While I was hanging out on the beach, and attending a wedding in my best pair of jeans (not kidding), you were all busy sending in your incredible entries for the Plastic Bullet contest. Here are some of our favorites:

Don’t forget – today is the last day to enter. So if you haven’t already, get yourself Plastic Bullet for a mere $1.99 and ENTER THE CONTEST NOW!

IMPORTANT NOTE: you can use ANY camera to take the picture, it just has to be processed with Plastic Bullet. But even if you’re not a pro photographer with serious camera equipment,  you still have as much of a chance as anyone else to win an iPad.There will be additional prizes awarded based on quality, but for the iPad, it’s open season!

Alright – things are starting to heat up! Tons of entries in the Plastic Bullet contest, and we’re getting some great stuff.We’re seeing kids, creatures of all sizes, architecture, not to mention some bordering on the macabre.

Plus, that rock concert image (or is it a book club meeting?) by @BryanVFX is definately at the top of my favorites so far.

IMPORTANT NOTE: you can use ANY camera to take the picture, it just has to be processed with Plastic Bullet. So break out your Cannon 700D’s with a 15 bajillion MM lens that costs more than a house. It’s all good.

But hey – the good news is, even if you’re not a pro photographer with serious camera equipment,  you still have as much of a chance as anyone else to win an iPad.There will be additional prizes awarded based on quality, but for the iPad, it’s open season!

So if you haven’t already, get yourself Plastic Bullet for a mere $1.99 and ENTER THE CONTEST NOW!

Hey Folks – Yesterday we announced our Plastic Bullet Contest, and the entries have been pouring in. Here are some of our favorites from day 1:

Don’t forget, there are different prizes awarded differently:  1 based on randomness, and 3 based on skill.

For the skill based entries, we love  some of the great scenic shots, but we’d also love to see some interesting shots of people.
