- Latest Photo Contest -

Theme: Science Fiction Photography

<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>

Rules

1. NO STEALING PHOTOS!
Photographs must be taken by Elftowners and posted here by the original photographer. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here. This includes random images from the net too. TAKE YOUR OWN DARN PHOTOS DON'T STEAL THEM AND TRY TO CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN! That makes me angry, very angry indeed.

2. TWO (2) ENTRIES PER PARTICIPANT.

3. YES FOR PHOTOMANIPS! :D
While this is a photograph based competition, we WILL be accepting photomanipulations for this particular contest. Please make sure that all material used for the manipulation is your own. Otherwise it will be removed for copyright infringement.

4. READ THE THEME!
If you stick up a photo just because this is a photo competition, your entry will be removed without warning. ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT MEET THE THEME WILL BE REMOVED.

5. EXPLANATIONS ARE REQUIRED!
When and where the photo was taken is required. We don't need the minutes and seconds, but as close to the actual date of the capture would be good. 

6. ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!
To upload your image full-size you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wikipage.
<URL:upload_zip.html>
Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

7. SUBJECT MATTER:
Since the winners will be featured on Mainstreet, images that depict graphic violence, pornography or other disturbing actions will not be accepted. Only photographs that fit the current theme will be allowed.


Special rules

What we want to see is:
Science fiction: The picture has to be futuristic.
Think of scientific discoveries, space travel, life on other planets or environmental changes.
Industrial photography included.

Because we are talking about photography here, we are going to need some proof of the genuineness of the submissions.
For each photo entered, you must submit a proofphoto.


Proofphoto
To enter this contest you have to submit a new picture combined with a proofpicture with a marble(s) taken during the same photoshoot.
This has two reasons:
- The proofphoto shows that the picture is yours.
- Both pictures have to be new, because we want you to make your entries especially for this theme. The picture should clearly show that you thought about the theme and how you want to reflect this.
You can't have done this before the contest, because you didn't know of it then.

Criteria:
The proofphoto must be a picture of the same scenery/environment, but it has to somehow include a real marble(s).
If you have used photomanipulation you are also required to submit the unedited photograph! Example:

<img200*0:stuff/z/1/mut%2520cat%2520dog/p1010001.jpg>
Mutated dog in the bionuclear lab.
<img200*0:stuff/z/1/mut%2520cat%2520dog/p1010002.jpg>
Proofimage with marble.

Photomanipulation
This contest allows a certain amount of photomanipulation to add to the effect of making it futuristic. Don't overdo it though.
Manipulation that helps achieve the wanted effect include:
-adjusting levels/brightness/contrast
-blur/smudge
-dodge and burn
-filters
Please note that free downloadable programs such as www.gimp.org or www.irfanview.com are perfectly capable of this kind of manipulation, but also keep in mind that this is not a photomanipulation contest, so don't over do it.

2007-04-02 [EarthKynd]: a marble..? <img:44166_1164145253.gif>

2007-04-02 [Yuriona]: Marble, ball, sphere, globe... anything like that will do. :)

2007-04-02 [Slavork]: knikker =P XD

2007-04-03 [Yuriona]: A marble is good but we'll accept anything spherical if you don't have any marbles. *giggles*

2007-04-03 [Kelaria]: Good news! I have located a spherical object to use in my photos!! ^_^

2007-04-03 [Yuriona]: Yay!! :)

2007-04-03 [Kelaria]: hehe :D Now I have to brainstorm ideas!! :D

2007-04-03 [Atayemi]: Apparently you can't say brainstorm anymore. O_o
It's offensive to people who have schitzophrenia. That's what I heard anyways. xD

2007-04-03 [Kelaria]: That is sooo lame.
Brainstorm!
Brainstorm!
BRAINSTORM!!

2007-04-03 [iippo]: Try now for the more spammy comments in the future. :) Or the junk-forum! We do so love t3h spam-pam in the junk forum :D (<forum:Junk> is the link)

2007-04-04 [DeRevenant]: hi, i's got a question about this contest/does photomanip include splicing two photos together? i wanted to submit a new photo that contains an element from another new photo, but i don't know if that's allowed

2007-04-04 [Sunrose]: Manipulation is allowed, just don't forget to add a spherical object in your proofpictures :)

2007-04-04 [DeRevenant]: awesomus! this means my original idea can be accepted (yay!) i do know about the proofphoto, so i've got that covered; just so happens i've got a pile of marbles to choose from, hehe. thank you kindly sunrose! :)

2007-04-05 [Ravendust]: mine's going to take a bit to do considering that I've got to do it in school since my internet's been removed at home -_-

2007-04-05 [iippo]: But if you still have a computer at home, you could do it at home and then take it to the computer at school on a disk or memory stick...? o.O

2007-04-06 [Ravendust]: They're not really saved to my computer- they're in emails. I took the pictures with my cellphone...

2007-05-14 [Trennas]: im sooo gonna enter this contest XD just took my first picture, but i couldnt find any marbles (what do i look like, a five year old?:p) so i got little skull beads instead ^^

2007-06-08 [Dangerous Salome]: Where can I buy marbles? The only place I can think of is Fenwicks, but I'm too poor to buy anything from there due to outrageous bus prices to/from anywhere.

2007-06-08 [hollow heart]: hmm you live in newcastle.
try the pound shop just along from triple S.
hmmm thats the only place i can thing of.

2008-03-19 [.:.:.Sarah.:.:.]: Okay Im pretty STUPID,..

2008-03-19 [Linderel]: This contest is currently not open, so no, there is no theme. :)
