WHALESHARES NSFW NUDE/EROTIC ART CONTESTS - Win Whaleshares you can use to get whale votes on your posts! This Week's Theme "Hard Light with a Flash" (Inspiration Images Also In Post)

Hello Fellow Stemians,

For those of you that don't know me, I'm Nico Simon Princely @nspart and I'm the Moderator of the NSFW Section on the Whaleshares discord channel and I'm running contests like this one where I will be awarding Whaleshares to the 1st Through 10th Place winners.

I'm going to give you the basic rules but first, if you don't know what Whaleshares are please see my previous posts at the links below:

NSFW means "Not Safe For Work" and on Steemit and in this contest it refers to Sexual Themes and Full Nudity where nipples, genitals and anal areas can be seen. This could be in Nude Art, Medical videos, Porn etc... So if that's in your image you need to use the nsfw tag in your tags when you post.

For this contest we are focusing on Artistic Nudity from Implied Nudes (which is not necessarily nsfw) to Full or Explicit Nudes. I will allow lingerie and Bikini shots also in the contest, but nudes/implied will be valued higher... Because there is more difficulty in nude art shoots in my opinion. The goal here is Art/Erotic Art not porn which very often is just really not very artistic.

The General Contest Rules for the Weekly NSFW Contest:

1. You Must Upvote and Resteem This Post.

2. You Must Post the Link to your post in a comment on this thread & on the NSFW-General section of the Whaleshares Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/CFJ97HW

3. The submission must stick to the theme.

4. It must be original work that you created and this must be verifiable. This can include self-portraits but NOT Selfies (meaning seeing you hold the camera selfie style.) Also models may submit work they are in if they have permission from the photographer.

5. I will be judging the contest using the criteria of Originality, Creativity, Composition, Use of Theme, Color/Greyscale Pallet, and Overall Vibe I get from it. (Because I am judging I will not be submitting an entry.)

6. Your Post Must Include the Tag that references the contest which will be announced along with the the theme.

7. You must post a link to your entry in the Whaleshares NSFW Forum. (This gets your post more exposure)

8. Only one entry per per person - You may have up to 3 images in your post.

9. You must tell us a little about the process you took to create the photo. This can be long or short, but I’m judging the photos not the text, but the text makes more enjoyable for many of the readers and is educational.

10. Your Entry MUST BE submitted before this post pays out.

This Weeks Theme is "Hard Light with an On-Camera Flash" & The TAG is “whalesharesnsfwcontest”

Rules for This Week's Theme:

• This can be from Implied Nudes to Explicit Nudes of one model.
(If you are not familiar with these terms or what this looks like view some of my posts of my work)

• You will not gain points for being less or more explicit as that’s not what I’m judging.

• This contest is not open to hardcore porn. (nothing against it, but it not part of this week's theme)

• You can do self-portraits but NOT Selfies (meaning seeing you hold the camera selfie style.)

• This can be already existing work or you can shoot for this contest.

• It must be shot with an on Camera Flash. This could be from a DSLR with built-in flash or speedlight flash, Film Camera, Polaroid, Instax, and or even a Cellphone and please let know what you shot it with. See sample images which were all shot with an on camera flash.

As the Whaleshares NSFW community grows we might have contests that focus other mediums like Painting & Drawing, maybe one for Writing, Erotica, etc… as well. But for now I'm going to stick with photos.

Once again this must be Original work and not a derivative of someone else's work so no grabbing someone else's images and throwing a filter on it. There is a difference between inspiration and direct copying. So you must be creator of the work for this contest.

This contest is about rewarding the NSFW content creators for their creativity, hard work, talent and producing original work. So that’s what I’m looking for. This is to also helps you grow as a photographer rather than just being someone taking snapshots.

Let’s see what you come up with and have fun!
The Prizes

I wanted to give prizes to a lot of people so the Prizes will be as follows. Due Hard Fork 19 we had to reduce the number of shared now that votes are worth several times more. Also each whaleshare equals 1% of whale power upvote. So 100 Whaleshares is 1 100% Vote or you could do 10 10% Votes (Actually due to the Bitshare fee of 1 Whaleshare it would be 9)

1st 100 Whaleshares
2nd 50 Whaleshares
3rd 25 Whaleshares
4th 10 Whaleshares
5th 10 Whaleshares
6th 10 Whaleshares
7th 10 Whaleshares
8th 10 Whaleshares
9th 10 Whaleshares
10th 10 Whaleshares

Steps to take now to enter…

Note: By entering the contest you are giving me permission to use the photos in a post announcing the winners and future posts looking back at previous winners or submissions. You will be credited and people will be encouraged to vote for your posts and visit and follow you.

While I'm not entering the contest myself I am presenting some examples below of my own images shot with hardlight and in many cases a Speedlight and even some shot with a Instax Camera .

For those that don't know what hard light is. Hard light is a small un-diffused light source which produces a hard shadow. See examples below...
