Hi every­one. I hope you all had a great hol­i­day. I’ve kind of been out of com­mis­sion, but I’m finally start­ing to feel better.

Any­way, our LOTRO Screen­shot Con­test has offi­cially ended. I’ve reached out to some of the MMeOw staff for opin­ions and have nar­rowed down our two groups of winners.

By nature, con­tests like this never are as pop­u­lar as ones that require a com­ment or a friend­ship on a social net­work. Even so, I received a lot more screens than I was antic­i­pat­ing. I was happy to see that. Every shot we got was good, in my opin­ion. It was hard to nar­row things down, but we tried our best (not just based upon “beauty”, but dif­fi­culty, com­po­si­tion, etc.). Please don’t be offended if you’re not in one of our final groups!

Here are three win­ners as cho­sen by MMeOw:

Bob's shot of Weathertop at dusk. I tend to take a lot of shots of this landmark, but Bob did it at just the right time.

Bob’s shot of Weath­er­top at dusk. I’m sure we all take a lot of shots of this land­mark, but Bob did it at just the right time.




Chris's shot of a battle in progress. If you've tried to grab a shot of an enemy at a certain point in its animation sequence, you know how hard is to get it just right. Chris did a nice job here.

Miriam's shot of Lothlorien. Lothlorien always looks pretty, but Mirmam's composition in this shot really enhances the effect.

Con­grats to all three of you. I’ll be e-mailing you shortly with your Adventurer’s Pack code. Just log into your Tur­bine account and apply the code!

In order to keep things a bit more “fair”, we also a group that every­one can vote on. Out of the dozens we received, these have been nar­rowed down to shots sub­mit­ted by four­teen sep­a­rate peo­ple. I will be post­ing some­thing sep­a­rate about this shortly, so stay tuned!
