Round 30 - Waiting ... - Entries Thread
This time the pictures are about waiting for something. Anything really, as long as the picture conveys it. The titles are all 'Waiting ...' where the '...' is whatever you like. Be creative, but consider that the aim of the picture is to actually illustrate your title. Choosing an idea and then creating a picture to convey that idea is good. Taking some pictures and then inventing a title is ok, since nobody but you will know, but try having an idea and then depicting it as a picture if you can.
This is the entries thread, the discussion must go in the discussion thread.
Rules
1. Image must have been taken within the competition period, which is from Friday 20th October 2006 to Monday 20th November.
2. No image will be greater than 800 pixels along its longest side.
3. Image overall will not exceed 300kb (defined as 307,200 bytes).
If a submitted image contravenes rules 1 ,2 or 3 could people please mention this in the discussion thread so that the poster can fix it, some advice to the poster about how they might rectify the problem might be handy. No image which breaks any of these rules will be included in the voting thread so let's try to avoid a submission being left out due to not meeting the rules.
4. Each entrant can change their posted image at any time (using edit function) up to the closing date for submissions which is midnight UK local time on Monday 20th November 2006.
There has to be a closing date, so for simplicity the cutoff for getting the pictures on the thread is the one that counts. Note that the cutoff has moved to Monday night to make the best use of the weekend.
5. Maximum of three images per entrant.
6. Digital manipulation is allowed in order to correct technical issues. Sharpening, levels, contrast and colour adjustments are allowed as is the cloning out of minor defects.
7. If you feel the need to use other digital tools or effects then these must be fully documented so that people can learn how to use such tools/effects.
8. Image must be hosted so that it appears correctly in the competition thread using something like photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/) or a direct link to the photo if you cannot do this.
9. Image must be titled but not on the image itself, i.e. some bold text naming the image should be posted above it. In addition, to benefit others, please post some details below the pic e.g. EXIF data or just aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, equipment used etc. (this is a learning exercise after all).
Note
For this competition only the picture titles are always of the form Waiting ... where you complete the phrase to make your own title.
10. There will be no posts in the Entries thread other than those for the posting of competition images.
11. There are no judges, only votes from Scoobynet members, their collective decision is final.
12. Voting should be 21st-23rd November, anyone with a Scoobynet log-in will be eligible to vote, not just those submitting pictures.
13. Images will meet the requirements of the ScoobyNet T&Cs
14. Winner gets to choose the theme for the next round.
