Name Drop Showdown #2! [SBD Giveaway]

[flaccidfervor]

Nominate your favorite photographer, and you both could split the SBD rewards of this post 50/50!
Every entry gets a complimentary upvote from yours truly as well.

[This is my image, but I'm not entering of course.]

What's the point of this?

I want us to all support each other, and not just ourselves. I want us to actually enjoy the content we consume on Steemit, and to be able to reward the creators with more than just our one tiny vote.

So here's how it works:

1) Find an photographer you like (not yourself) copy and paste one of their images in the comments with a link to their recent blog post or profile. Modified images are fine, but the source image for anything modified must have been taken with a camera or phone, and modified by the photographer themselves.
2) Upvote this post.
3) Resteem this post. (This is optional, but crucial for increasing exposure for the artists and the reward pool)
4) Follow me. (Also optional, but it'll keep you in the loop for future contests)
5) Check out the other cool photos in the comments! Follow them, support them, give them a pat on the back for being awesome! (Optional as well, but that is the whole point of this contest. It's not just about the money)

After 7 days, the winner will be chosen at random. They will receive half of the SBD portion of the payout, and their nominee will receive the other half. Curation rewards still go to the curators. I will be keeping the SP portion, so that my complimentary upvotes will get bigger and bigger. (I also have a few delegation requests on Minnowbooster, for those who would like to support my efforts of supporting people)

If you choose not to enter, but wish to support the cause, your upvote is still greatly appreciated.

I am delighted by the outcome of my first contest: (https://steemit.com/art/@flaccidfervor/name-drop-showdown-sbd-giveaway)

Names were dropped.
Artists were exposed.
Followers were made.
Rewards were distributed.

The winners were determined using Google's random number generator:

And the winners are....

@mada (artist) and @zachnewell (artist exposer)! Congrats to you both, and thank you for your contributions to the community!

@gringalicious , I love her food photography

[artwatch]

I nominate @nightscape

I really recommend this post - she is new here and this post still hit trending 14 days ago, it's super good with tones of shots of this old abandoned mall
https://steemit.com/monument/@nightscape/abandoned-futuristic-monuments-petrova-gora

What I want to do now is recreate the building somehow - Looks super villian meets bio hazard lab. I WANT ONE really bad - make like a 5 level shelter out of it with a level that is just fruite trees/ agriculture and living quarters above in the penthouse section. Make the panels solar and put a couple wind generators on top with a roof garden. Make the bottom level complete lock down containable and throw the evil labs in there.

I have been going back to this post, just thinking about structures and drafting ideas for buildings. I think it is really nice that she can inspire me in such a way. So I want to thank her for this gem of a post.

It just tickles me.

[flaccidfervor]

That is some terrifyingly beautiful architecture. I don't know if that fog was shopped in or not, but it sure as hell tickles the right spot. Thank you @artwatch, for lending your watchful eye.

[artwatch]

My pleasure

[jbn]

This is absolutely sick.. well done to your photographer friend.

[james-09aka]

I nominate @jarvie. He is great photographer

[flaccidfervor]

Thank you @james-09aka for getting this party started! This is gorgeous. I will be upvoting your comment as soon as soon as I regain power :)

[james-09aka]

you welcome :)

[jarvie]

well thank you kindly!

[james-09aka]

Welcome :)

[andrea97]

I nominate @jacksartori.

[flaccidfervor]

Damn, I thought this was a painting. Bravo to you, @jacksartori.

[jbn]

@flaccidfervor is right.. this is so unreal that at first it seemed like a painting

[zanexavis]

I nominate @zachnewell!

https://steemit.com/photography/@zachnewell/good-excuses-to-look-at-old-photographs

[zachnewell]

Aw, shucks, ain't you just sugar on sweet. :)

[riotdog]

Alright, I'm going to take another crack at this and nominate @xanadumedia once more. Below is an image from his last post, which you can find linked here.

I'm nominating @xanadumedia again because I was impressed with his artistry even from his "introduceyourself," and the fellow clearly has taken a liking to Steemit (having written four posts the in six days since he activated his account), so I strongly suspect I'll keep seeing more awesome work from this artist.

[flaccidfervor]

I fully concur.

[sayedahmadsabiq]

I nominate mr. @thomasjmitchell, For me he is really a great photographer! he is a true artist!

https://steemit.com/landscapephotography/@thomasjmitchell/cierva-cove-in-the-morning-on-feb-28-2018 @thomasjmitchell

[flaccidfervor]

This is something straight out of Skyrim :)

[sayedahmadsabiq]

yes .. i really enjoy his photo collection :)

[xanadumedia]

This page is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[lighteye]

Tough choice. There are so many great photographers here. I hope it's just a first round, and for this I nominate @adriansky, master of bad weather and aerial shots of Sin Francisco :)

[flaccidfervor]

Thank you @lighteye ^.^ There will be many more contests, week after week, but this one's gonna be tough to beat. This image pleases me.

[jbn]

I nominate @gamer00. Amazing photographer. Though this one is some 6 days old but i liked this picture truly. Hopefully 6 days ago can still be counted as “recent” for this contest. Right?

https://steemit.com/onephotoeveryday/@gamer00/one-photo-every-day-full-moon-249-365

[flaccidfervor]

Wow it's so close I can taste it! @gamer00 must have some serious equipment. I want more from them. Must follow. Thank you @jbn!

[jbn]

Yes he is brilliant photographer

[gamer00]

Thanks again. I'm not sure about that, but I am glad and thankful you should think so. Maybe it's the artist who is always the most critical of their own work.

[jbn]

Exactly my friend. I have seen your work. It is beyond breathtaking.. its a good thing that you are your own critic. It will keep you from becoming complacent. The student in you will never die ... ^_^

[gamer00]

some serious equipment

Eheh... only 8 years old Canon and the cheapest Canon 75-300mm lens that one could find. :)

I've been planning an upgrade for both of them a few years now, but since both the camera body and lens still work I haven't yet made the jump.

I appreciate the kind words, and following.

Now, I'm a bit under the weather right now so I'll be checking out your blog a bit later when I have more energy (I need to head for the bed to rest).

I left my nomination as a reply to the comment of yours inviting me to this contest. I hope you saw it.

[jbn]

Eheh... only 8 years old Canon and the cheapest Canon 75-300mm lens that one could find. :)

But its the man behind the gun that matters :p isn’t it..

[gamer00]

Thanks for the nomination @jbn!

[jbn]

No problem my friend. You deserve it.. you are truly the best photographer i have ever met on steemit..
