You may enter a picture of YOUR stuff that was taken by someone else, Just please get permission from the photo taker and give them credit for taking the photo.

 

Daniel takes alot of photos for the club. He is a great photographer, I bet he could even make my green hair algae look amazing!!!!

A little late to the conversation here due to some computer/internet issues, but here's my take:

 

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to ask that it be removed. I appreciate the compliments, and that Rob finds the photo worthy of entry, but my personal feeling on this is that since it is a photo contest, the entries should be limited to those taken by the submitter. It should be about the submitter's attempt at capturing a moment that relates to a theme - an encouragement for people to go out and take more photos and become better photographers themselves. Not limiting the photo contest to the submitter's own photos does not encourage people to explore and practice photography, it only encourages them to go out and find a good photographer.

 

Any photos I take of someone's tank are fair game for the tank owner's personal use - adding to tank threads, sharing with friends, even printing out and framing for their office should they wish. But I simply can't consider it fair to the purpose of the photo contest or to other people who submit photos to allow them to be submitted to a contest. Otherwise, what is to prevent someone from asking Ned Deloach to take photos of their tank the next time he comes through the area, and asking him if they can be "used on WAMAS"?
