- Latest Photo Contest -

Theme: The Past



<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 PHOTOS AND DO NOT STEAL THEM FROM OTHERS. THAT'S JUST RUDE.

2. TWO (2) ENTRIES PER PARTICIPANT.

3. YES! FOR PHOTOMANIPULATIONS!
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 wiki-page.
<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:

The Past: The picture has to be set in the past.
Think of dinosaurs, the western frontier, the old country, Victorian mansions, Romans etc.


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 proof-photo.


Proof-photo
To enter this contest you have to submit a new picture combined with a proof-picture with a Bowl(s) taken during the same photoshoot.
This has two reasons:
- The proof-photo 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 proof-photo must be a picture of the same scenery/environment, but it has to somehow include a real bowl(s).
If you have used photomanipulation you are also required to submit the unedited photograph! Example:

<img200*0:http://elftown.com/stuff/z/64936/mitsukis%2520referenceses/i1240522596_1.jpg>
Cave man dog in home.
<img200*0:http://elftown.com/stuff/z/64936/mitsukis%2520referenceses/i1240522596_2.jpg>
Proof-image with bowl.


Photomanipulation
This contest allows a certain amount of photomanipulation to add to the effect of making it look as if one is in the past. Heavy photomanipulation for this contest IS ALLOWED I want to see background changes, creatures, costums and anything else your little brains can possibly come up with! Be creative, and do your best!

2009-05-06 [Chimes]: If you knew the people in it, you could get them to dress up for you again holding a bowl... then it would still count, I think but Akane is in charge so in the end it would be her decision as to whether to allow it. :P Otherwise you could just take a new photo.

2009-05-06 [Teufelsweib]: and at the same place with the same cannon, that is :P

2009-05-06 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: [The Boondock Saints] - I can take good quality photos with my camera phone, it isn't easy and takes a lot of patients but it is possible ^^ Just give it a shot!

[Ravenclaw] - Let me go take a look at it...

2009-05-06 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: That is a very amazing picture. Is there no way to get them all back together for one or two camera shots?

2009-05-06 [Ravenclaw]: No, our commanding officer suffered a brain anurism (sp?) and a stroke shortly after the picture was taken. He's the one with the cannon and is in too pore health to participate in long distance reenactments.

I wish I could have found the one with the two gentelmen dressed as President Lincoln and General Stewart. Except for the powerlines in the background it was freakin awesome. They where standing on the battlefield shaking hands when I happened to walk by *snap*. I see the gentelmen dressed as Lincon every once in a while. He dresses up for Lincoln's birthday and visits all the local businesses in town during the Presidents Day sales. He's a tad excentric but in a loveable home grown kinda way.

But if I'm unable to participate that's cool, at least I got some good feedback for it!

2009-05-06 [Yuriona]: Dang... reenactments are so cool! I have photos of my brother and uncle in their WWII Nazi uniforms but I didn't take any of the pictures. ;_;

I would imagine if you could convince the gentleman to pose for another photo with you (and a bowl lol) that could be might be enough of a proof photo for the contest. It is an amazing photo that's for sure. *nods*

2009-05-06 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: How about this, Raven. Get your father to dress up again (since he is in the picture) and have him hold a bowl, and I will accept it. That way you can add the origional photo and I still have proof that it was your picture, will that work?

2009-05-07 [Ravenclaw]: SWEET! He can't fit into that same uniform anymore but I'll see what I can do.
Update: Called Dad, he dosen't have the exact uniform but he has something close. He's gained a size or two since the last reenactment but he's eager to help! He's so cool!

2009-05-07 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: As long as he looks the same, it's proof enough for me.

2009-05-07 [Ravenclaw]: Gratzi!

2009-05-07 [Iske]: cooooooool

2009-05-25 [K.B.Baybi_nmjs]: I don't understand what the "bowl" thingy...

2009-05-25 [Teufelsweib]: it's a proof photo, so we can see that you made that photo instead of someone else. so you make another picture with the same scenery only you include a bowl in that picture. simple as that

2009-05-25 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: Thanks for explaining that one. ^^ (A bowl was the only thing I had at my disposal at the time, also something that most everyone has in their home)

2009-05-25 [Teufelsweib]: welcome :P though I guess if you read the rules above carefully enough they should be pretty plain..

2009-05-25 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: Eh, I don't ever really mind explaining. Lol.

2009-05-25 [K.B.Baybi_nmjs]: oh okay... thanxies lol

2009-05-25 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: No worries! *Eventually I will get a proof photo uploaded that people can actually see...>>

2009-05-25 [K.B.Baybi_nmjs]: lol

2009-06-26 [Nocternity S.]: woooo! im def gonna enter!

2009-06-26 [Akane; Il Sangue Bevitore]: Awesome! I can't wait!
