Bounce Competition
We are thrilled to announce our very first video competition. We offer you the chance to showcase your talent and skills to the world in the form of a short photography video. And you’ll get the chance to win insanely incredible prizes. Last but not least, we are sure that these video’s will help the photographic community.
Because we believe that bouncing light is one of the most powerful techniques a photographer can have in his toolbox, we decided to make this competition all about that.
What you have to do
Make a (short) video where you demonstrate your way of bouncing light. You can bounce any light of of anything. You can bounce sunlight of a Sunbounce reflector, you can bounce flash of a wall, you can bounce car headlights of a reflector made out of paperclips and highly reflective fish, … anything goes as long as you bounce the light.
To give you some inspiration, we decided to go on a mission: touring 24 hours straight with 5 photographers throughout Belgium and bounce light everywhere.

In case you can’t play the video, you can also see it on YouTube.
How to Enter the competition
Just upload your video to YouTube and tag them with “lime bounce competition” and “california sunbounce”.
To enter the competition your video must be published on YouTube before the first of december 2009.
Prices
Thanks to our friends at California Sunbounce we can honor the best video’s with some truly amazing prizes.
- first prize: 2 days with one of the world’s leading wedding photographer Mike Larson. Be an assistant for Mike at one of his signature weddings in California (dates and location of wedding pending Mikes schedule and availability). You will be able to shadow Mike at a wedding after a training session and learning a bit about how Mikes team serves his clients.
After spending some time with Mike, we can only be sad that we can’t enter the competition ourselves. On top of that your flight, stay and expenses will be taken care of too.

- fourth prize: a California Sunbounce Micro-Mini

Bounce!…
The guys from LIME are organizing a contest: make a video where you bounce the light as much as possible. Read their blogpost here.
The prizes are amazing (ie a trip to California to shoot with Mike Larson! or a private workshop with Pieter and Bert!!!…
wow
the first prize is really A-MA-ZING!
although not having much bouncing-experience, and although usually not being competition-minded, i think i’m going to join this one!
wish me luck -
S.
only downside to the contest is that as a photographer you are not always a videographer to turn it into some uber cool video.
reminder: I already won a 4th prize at the last workshop …. hint hint
