Ok, looks like it's me...
not sure who does stickies?
Photo Competition Round 46 – Just Around t'Corner......Discussion (Ends 28/06/08)
Discussions only in this thread please.
I feel a wide theme is needed, to get a good range of entries, and give people new ideas.
I therefore want to see your best shot, of absolutely anything, taken within 5 minutes of work. If you work from home, then home.
I can shoot York Minster without even leaving the office, but that's not being creative.
Think outside the box - think composition. People, architecture, urban wildlife, whatever you like, as long as it's no more than a 5 minute walk from your place of work. We'll have to trust you on that!
Rules
1. Image must have been taken within the competition period, which is from Sunday 1st June to Saturday 28th June 2008
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 Wednesday Saturday 28th June.
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 from Sunday 29th June until 8pm Tuesday 1st July. 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.
