Inside the Lens

Inside the Lens is another new feature Inside Scooters will be implementing. It will give you, the reader, a chance to have their pictures and videos featured on the front page, and separately on our Inside the Lens page. So how is this feature going to work? Read on:

The first Inside the Lens is a photo contest, yes a “picture of the week” type of thing. Each week will have a certain theme that the picture must be of, for example the first theme will be a rail photo- meaning the trick being done in the photo must be done on some sort of handrail or flat bar. Official criterion are as follows:

-Must be sent to ISpotw@live.com along with photographer name, rider name, trick name, and location.
-Sent by 11:59 PM CST every Saturday to be considered to be posted the next day.
-Will be judged by composition, image quality, subject matter, feeling, and overall impression.

-This week’s entries theme is: rails.

The 2nd Inside the Lens feature is a clip of the week competition. This, unlike the POTW, will not have a specific theme. How to enter, and win, includes:

-Must be sent to IScotw@live.com along with filmer name, rider name, and location.
-Sent by 11:59 PM CST every Saturday to be considered to be posted the next day.
-Will be judged by riding, filming, editing, and overall impression.
-Clips must be no longer than 30 seconds long, with no music. Color correction will be allowed.

After midnight on Saturday night of each week, I will review the entries with Steven and Chris and we will pick a winner for each contest, which will be posted on IS the next day, as well as on the new Inside the Lens page, which will soon be located at the top of our home page, so you guys can always check back and see who has won, or who has won the most potws, and cotws.
