Photo Technique Contest

This is not just a photo contest where you can win great prizes, this is a little challenge for your brain as well to make it more interesting.
We hope to see many great photographers entering this contest !

Please read the entire description and pay attention to the detail.

This is a photo contest only, but to enter it you will first have to solve some clues.
Each clue has to do with photography techniques and they are a little cryptic so be careful.
The clues were provided by *photonig from the UK ...hence the British humor !

Here are the rules for solving the clues :

* * If you think you know the answer , send an email to devartest@yahoo.com
( NO NOTES ! Please only email the answers for the clues. We set up an email account so Nigel and I can both access the account)
* No worries, we will not give your email address to third parties
* Please provide a link to your devainART site and your name in the email.
* We will answer you if you have them right , wrong or partly right, no worries.
Once you have solved the clues, you will receive an email that says you can enter the photo contest.
