Photo Competition Round 38 – Humour (Discussion) [Ends 30th September]
Carnivourous, the rightful winner of the last comp appears to be away, so in the meanwhile it has fallen to me, as runner up, to keep the wheels of the Scoobynet Photo Competition greased...
My theme is Humour. Photography is often about capturing emotion - often joy or sadness. Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to record humour, in whatever form you find it...
This thread is for discussion about the competition, entries should go in the other thread HERE ('http://bbs.scoobynet.com/photography-360/631527-photo-competition-round-38-humour.html#post7221260').
Rules
1. Image must have been taken within the competition period, which is from Friday 31st August 2007 to Sunday 30th September.
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 Sunday 30th September 2007.
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 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).
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 1st – 7th October, 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. If the winner is away, after 5 days the runner up will get to choose, although the title of winner will retain with the rightful winner.
