Architectural Photography
This week I want to see pictures of buildings from around the world. I love the different architecture in the different areas where everyone lives, so let's see what awesome shots you all can come up with.

How is the Deranged Photography Contest set up?
The contest will be broken up into three different tiers. Each will have a different payout for the winners based on what tier you enter into. Here is a breakdown of the winning based on the tiers:
| Place | Professional | Amateur | Beginner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1.25 SBD | 1 SBD | 1 SBD |
| 2nd | 0.75 SBD | 0.5 SBD | 0.5 SBD |
| 3rd | 0.5 SBD | 0.25 SBD | 0.25 SBD |
Each contest will be open for submissions for 5 days after the post is made and then closes at 0100 UTC (1800 MST) on the 5th day.
This will give me and any guest judges time to judge the submissions and create the post announcing the winners.
How to enter
When you enter a photo in the competition, you will state what tier you want to be judged in and locked in for the month at that level.
For example if you enter a photo, you drop the photo in the comment section, state what level of photographer you are, and then give a description of the photograph.
If you want to make your own post and reference the contest in your post, that would be awesome, just remember to post your picture in the comment section along with your post link. Who knows, you may get a visit and an upvote on your post as well as an upvote on the picture. Use the tag #derangedphotography to make it easy to find your posts.
Additional Notes
Only one submission per contest. Extra submissions will be ignored.
You can switch your tier ONE time per month, but only if you are moving up into a higher tier, for example if you are currently in the amateur tier, but you think that you have a photograph that you want to enter in the professional tier, you can state that you are changing your tier to professional. You will then be locked into the new tier for the remainder of the month. You are not able to move down to a lower tier, like going from amateur to the beginner tier.
If you do not state wish tier you want to be judged in for the month, I will leave a comment to remind you to do so, but if you don't respond, you will be assigned to a tier and locked in for that month.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated in any form. All submissions must be your own work. I will investigate every entry and one of the main sponsors is the @steemcleaners team, so if you are caught plagiarizing, not only will you be blacklisted from competing from any future contests, but you will be reported to @steemcleaners as well. It is not worth it to try and cheat, especially with the 3 tier set up where everyone has an equal shot of winning.
Who are the amazing sponsors?
One major sponsor to the contests is @pfunk. For those that don't know @pfunk is a very active witness on the platform that is doing a lot behind the scenes to ensure that your user experience is a smooth one.
@pfunk aids in the process of new account set ups, a big part of Steemit Chat, and a part of the @steemcleaners team. @pfunk also is a huge supporter of the Open Mic contests run by @luzcypher.
You should seriously consider casting a witness vote for @pfunk.
Another major sponsor is @czechglobalhosts. For those that don't know, @czechglobalhosts puts on two daily photo contests that are open to anyone to enter. His contests cover the entire globe so that anyone can enter. The days and themes are:
- Australian Monday
- Antarctica and World's Oceans Tuesday
- African Wednesday
- European Thursday
- North American Friday
- South American Saturday
- Asian Sunday
On top of the themed daily continent contests, he hosts a daily travel contests specific to the beautiful country of the Czech Republic. So make sure to follow @czechglobalhosts and participate in his contests because he is offering two daily photography contests that you can enter to win.
The other sponsors I have are @guiltyparties and the @steemcleaners team. @guiltyparties and everyone else behind @steemcleaners does so much for the platform as a whole, trying to reduce the spammers, phishing and plagiarism that goes on here. If you have any free slots for witness votes you should consider casting a vote for @guiltyparties, vote for @patrice, vote for @anyx, vote for @pfunk, vote for @pjau, and vote for @arcange. Your votes for these great witnesses go a long way in ensuring the platform continues to thrive.

Now get out and start shooting
I hope you are all excited about this new contest. The contest themes will be different than what you are used to seeing on Steemit, and I am doing this to encourage everyone to get out and shoot new pictures. If you are a life long professional nature photographer, some of the themes may push you to try and learn something new. If you are just a beginner photographer, this is a great place to have fun shooting all sorts of exciting styles and learn in the process.

I am looking forward to seeing all of your great submissions. Have fun taking those pictures!!
If you like what I am doing, please consider a witness vote for my new team witness with @cc0ff33a. Proceeds from the witness go back towards supporting my community initiatives like this photo contest. I also reward my witness voters with weekly drawings for shares of @steembasicincome. Thank you all for everything. You are awesome.
I'm very excited about this contest just because of the topic! Architecture has always fascinated me. Here's my beginner entry for my first derangedphotography contest!

Great photo, congrats!

The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur from a slightly different perspective
Tier: Amateur
I love the colors! The Petronas Towers seem best at night. This is a view I've often wanted to capture when visiting KLCC but without success ... great job!
thank you @helenoftroy. They are. I once saw them out of the plane flying out from KL Airport. Was pretty cool. The only regret is that I haven´t been on top of the Towers.
What a beautiful photograph @betterthanhome
thank you @isabelpena
Great one, @betterthanhome! Love it!
thanks @nolasco
Here is my entry which doesn't require much explanation I think since it is a photograph of the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia.

Iconic site, but from a different perspective! I really like this angle :)
Thank you @helenoftroy. That was exactly the effect I was going for. 😁
Just beautiful, Gillian, great angle! Good luck for the contest!
Thank you @nolasco. 😊
Hi hi! This is a building with character in Malta which I find very inspiring. It is an old villa that is abandoned right now, reconstruction just started. I love the charm of the washed away colors very much. Shot with my smartphone.
Tier: definitely AMATEUR :)

I love the tag #derangedphotography!
here's my first contribution, for the professional tier:
Kornspeicher, Ukraine 2008, scan from cPrint
You can see this kind of architecture all over Ukraine; they are used to store and process harvest. This photo was taking at night, exposing on film for 2h.
Great shot. 2 hours? That is awesome!
2 very drunk hours it was. As usually in Ukraine...

My picture can't be post here...later I will find a way..maybe may net connection is weak...
Living in Innsbruck, Austria I daily pass tens of various old monuments and buildings from hundreds of years ago. Some of them left behind and some integrated into the "daily life". This old town gate stands in the middle of the town and busses actually pass through the middle opening and bikes ride thru those two smaller ones. It was hard to avoid the electricity lines from any angle tho :D
Tier: Beginner
An impression of spring at the very begin of Harvest <3

Touching the skies
Today is coming back to amazing United Arab Emirates with its stunning high-tech Dubai and most amazing Burj Khalifa. Well, still the tallest building on Earth, but things may change soon, since they are planning to build even more higher building there...
Burj Khalifa has very nice recreation area around, which includes first of all huge Dubai Mall and a lot of hotel and restaurants around the hand made lake
Here we have night shot from a bit far away on a even bit cloudy evening
Enjoy the scenery!

Here is a Photo of Harpa Concert Hall in Iceland - the glass facade echo the basalt columns of the coast of Iceland. Taken by me (obviously) in July this year..... (Tier - Amateur)
What you see here is something you might not expect in a contest with architecture as theme. But this is a boat where people live in. Laying in the canals of Amsterdam. These homes are beautiful and extraordinary.
Well I am a little bit late but I'll drop my entry anyway :)
The street of the Knights is the most well preserved medieval road in Greece and an architectural jewel for the island of Rhodes!
