Colorblind
Some times you just need to go old school and get back to the black and white roots of photography. There is something about black and white photographs that look awesome compared to some color versions. In this contest, I want to see your best black and white pictures. So break out the cameras, take some pictures and remove all the color. I am looking forward to seeing the awesome pictures you all submit.

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.

50 SP, 100SP, 250SP, 500SP, 1000SP,5000SP.
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.

Hey @derangedvisions why the shot at @justinashby he has done a lot for our community. Just curious why the hate on him ?
edit: I talked to someone about this and got more clarification sorry if I came across as angry. Just was wondering for the well being of someone I knew because of his recent post. Thanks!
Drama Of The Moment
This compelling black and white image shows a dramatic display of natures powerful convective thunderstorms. Perched over high ground above Sedona's Schnebly formation at the mouth of Oak Creek Canyon.
These beautiful towering thunderheads are reaching out and propagating additional storm development. Often building into large clusters that unload tremendous amounts of rain in a short period of time. The ancient sandstone formations of Sedona Arizona USA create the perfect setting for this type of stunning scenery.
Professional tier.
Down to meet up with @rakkasan84 and call him an abusive coward to his face live on air. I'll bring the local veterans as well to witness.

This is the Tidal River in the Wilsons Promontory Nationalpark in Australia. Been there twice and love it.
Tier: Amateur
👍 Cool shot! Wilsons Promontory offers so many photo ops right? 😃
Great idea Wes! I have been experimenting with b&w photos a bit more these days. Here is one of my favorite. It is the Manhattan skyline captured from the Brooklyn Bridge.
I really like that one. I´m not good in B&W but wanted to participate anyway! 😁
Thanks :) I usually like colorful photos better too but I sometimes put some shots in b&w, to feel more like an "artist" you know :D
Like the contrast in different shades, shapes and lines. I was standing at the same spot
like many others, haha :)bravo! good luck!
@elgeko, that comment was in reference to @steemcleaners flagging the spam comments that the @kind.network account was making. I never did flag any of the comments by any of them personally, but spam is spam.
One of my most favorite - most detailed - monochrome portrait shots ~ 🌟 ~

This is a macro shot of one of my mom's cacti. It was sitting perfectly still and safe from all the rain my country has been in for the past couple of days.
Not shooting a flower this time. Because there is something beautiful about the thorns, too.
