The world’s first light field photography contest will come to a conclusion in just a few more days, on Sunday, September 30.

No more dilly-dallying! Submit your light field pictures, or vote to be eligible to win a Lytro camera of your own.

Our newest Weekly Finalists in the Share the Fun Photography Contest include Ken Ezell, Kevin Gray, Juliet Fiss, Roger Hall, and Nancy Lundebjerg, who submitted this picture, “Fairy Wings.”

We’ve seen over 730 submissions that have been narrowed to 30 Weekly Finalists, with the help of our weekly guest judges:

Just five more Finalists will be selected with the help of David Pierce from The Verge, before director/photographer Vincent Laforet helps our regular panel of judges, Eric Cheng, Heather Champ, and Koci Hernandez determine the Grand Prize winner.

You don’t need a camera to get involved. Your vote helps determine who becomes a Weekly Finalist, and gives you a chance to win a Lytro camera of your own.

The judges have spoken. Richard Koci Hernandez, Heather Champ, Eric Cheng, Matt Buchanan, and you have chosen our first Weekly Finalists in the Lytro Share the Fun Photography Contest and Sweepstakes.

This week’s guest judge, BuzzFeed tech writer Matt Buchanan, announced our first Weekly Finalists. We’re featuring their pictures in our Lytro Picture Gallery and the photographers could win the Grand Prize, a Master Light Field Photography Lesson with Eric Cheng plus five Lytro cameras to share with very good friends.

Three voters have won Lytro cameras of their own. Congratulations Shelly Sakiyama-Elbert, Paul Mozolewski and Lindsay Wood.

It’s a new week, so we also have a new guest judge: Cliff Kuang is an editor at Fast Company and the founding editor of its spin-off, Co.Design, which in 2011 won the National Magazine Award for best online department.

Tips to Win:
Everyone – If you didn’t win last week, try again! Every time you vote or submit a picture, you get another chance to win.

Voters – Vote for a new picture every day. Each vote is like a raffle ticket, increasing your chance of winning.

Light Field Photographers – Focus your efforts to get out the vote on one picture each week. The pictures that receive the most votes during the week get a “fan bonus” during the judging. Submit a new picture or re-share a previous submission.

Over the past few weeks, Lytro employees and select testers in the field have been using prototype Lytro light field cameras to document their lives outside of the office. We’ve updated our Living Pictures Gallery with 11 new light field pictures; the selection includes pictures taken by Kira Wampler (Lytro’s VP of Marketing), Heather Champ, and professional photographers Jason Bradley and Philip Andrews.

Especially exciting are some of the pictures that Philip took at the landing of Space Shuttle Atlantis after STS-135, the last shuttle mission ever. We’ve got an interview with Philip in the works, and will post more about the experience soon.
