[Atlantis_Drift]

i get it, after reading the tiny text at the bottom!

note to self: get @ least one vote.

[Mr. Mu]

May want to change the deadline dates though.

holy smokes! Please do... there's no way I can get this done within so short a span...

oh well, I could also just wait for the next one.


Great entries already, btw!

[Morbid]

When is it supposed to end then?
Or rather how long is the challenge these days, it used to be 5 days + 2 days voting I believe?

[purplerose]

Nice one Sam. I saw it when it was saying "Creating Thumbnails" and I was like "Huh??" :D

It's supposed to be 5 + 2 voting days, but I think the lag in the last few challenges, some of us were thrown off a bit. Maybe it can be 7 + 2 instead? That way, if someone wants to use film they won't be so hard pressed.

[Mr. Mu]

yes! That would give me a few days for developing (and even when I use color film I won't have to use the more expensive one-hour or same-day services...)

But, actually, I am also fine with the shorter frequency - I will just have to be more in sync with the rhythm...

[claudeEGYPT]

Snakesssss! Ahhhhhhh! .. sweet photo though

[Morbid]

Purple and Mr. Mu okay, I will put 24th as the deadline then?

[purplerose]

Oh, I was fne, I was asking about the old deadlines left from the last challenge. Later on, I didn't know if Mu would have enough time since he works with film that's all. :) But I guess this would be okay for this one and then move back to regular timing for the next one? Or just 6 + 2 voting days?? I dunno, I'm thinking outloud now.

[claudeEGYPT]

Woah Leukah.. i would re-do that photo. You got some serious issues of blurring going on there. Not to mention, its quite soft!

[samsite999]

i think that may well be intentional?

[alucard]

looks intentional... and i quite like it ...but it doesn't speak to me...it's just pretty colors imo.

[Atlantis_Drift]

i may have lost my mind while looking at Leukeh Photograph, so somebody else please tell me if they see what i see in it. Well i don't know, i may be going crazy or something. Well is it just me, or...............

It was intentional. The shaper ones weren't too fantastic so I took a different approach.

Yeah, that's basically the only reason I took it - it looks good. Plus I had everything set up for it because I was taking similar photos (but with just one wine glass) for a photography assessment.

Wow. Crazy. V for Vendetta is one of my favourite movies! ^_^ I want my own Guy Fawkes mask...

EDIT: And I just noticed the green part sort of has a V in it at the bottom... creepy...

[Swift (BM)]

Cool entries so far, I'll make this challenge too, perhaps something B/W from me.
Oh and how should I post my entry, I attached last time and my picture was a link in the vote thread because of this, should I upload it to photobucket?

[Swift (BM)]

Well here is my entry, I uploaded it to photobucket.

I'll call it 'Wii are on the outside'.
It is a negative and they are my Wiimotes and one Wiimote cover.

I really dont get it ... Is that a tomato? :blind:

[SamIce]

uhm i neither don't get the tomato pic... :s

[samsite999]

well people see if as a vegetable, not a fruit? or the other way around, its kind of in between

well, thats my thoughts on it any how

i don't get urs sam?

[SamIce]

uhu i see ;) kinde had to think about it a long time :p

[samsite999]

no , really, i give up!! :)

[SamIce]

now the poit is the thing in between the clip ;) :p

[claudeEGYPT]

Okay.. some of these photos are not making sense at all.. or are ambitious attempts to make something out of nothing.. come on now.. Creative Cap on please!
That moon one is quite fascinating.. in a non "in between" way.. but its still cool.

[klips]

Creative cap? Bah! This is excellent, it's people getting out and trying new things. That's what this is all about!!!

The tomato is in between the bread and butter physically and is about to be in the sandwich (in between the slices of bread) and the bread is about to be inside the plastic sandwich bag. That's my guess, anyway.

[claudeEGYPT]

If photos are this difficult to decipher in relation to the topic.. then we've got a problem (yes creativity too)!

[samsite999]

if it doesn't make sense to you, there is a simple ansew, don't vote for it!!

[SamIce]

the point is to make you think about the photo's of in between ;)

[andres_pad]

between pink and white

[Mr. Mu]

That moon one is quite fascinating.. in a non "in between" way.. but its still cool.

the moon is in between the branches... It's rather obvious, isn't it? It's also really cool an entry...

But basically, if you don't think an entry fit then samsite is right... don't vote for it.

[Asadex]

Each one here has his interpretation of the subject, so if you agreed with, you have to vote, if not you vote another one.
Simple and clear
P.S.
Thannks Mr. Mu

[Swift (BM)]

Where's the poll? It should have been up yesterday.

[Morbid]

Guess I'll have to do it again...

[purplerose]

:D Daniel... you're the one who started this challenge. :)

[Morbid]

:D Daniel... you're the one who started this challenge. :)

Yea, but I started the last poll. And the rules do not say whos responsibility it is to do it. ;)

This:
7. The poll shall be opened Friday evening.
I interpret as "The one who feels like he's gonna win starts the new poll". At least that's what it usually means. :P

And BTW. we really need to fix the rules. I'd say the poll should open 5 days after the challenge thread to make things simpler. Then 2 days voting. (or 7 days challenge, 2 days voting if you want a bit of rotation) And we need to get rid of the weekday references and stuff.


EDIT:

My proposal of new rules:

---------

1. Only one picture per contestant.

2. No voting for your own picture.

3. No previously used material. All photos must be fresh, shot for this challenge, and never displayed on any gallery / thread.

4. The winner of the last poll will set the next topic; if the same person stands as the winner two times in a row, he or she must choose another user to present the next topic.

5. In the event of a tie in the polls, the person who created the challenge casts the tie breaking vote.

6. Enhancements of the picture are allowed in terms of color management, curves, levels, crop, sharpening, etc. Adding or removing elements in the photo, brushed enhancements, or anything that diverts into photo manipulation territory will not be accepted.

7. The challenge starts when the challenge thread is opened. It is open for new entries for 5 (or 7) days, after which the vote poll is opened by the challenge starter. If he fails to do so, anyone is free to open the voting thread. The voting thread should have all the entries in it and have public voting to prevent cheating.

8. The voting will go on for 2 days, then the winner (or other person assigned to start a new challenge, see rule 4 and 5) starts a new thread named "The Photo Challenge - [name]", where [name] indicates the topic of the new challenge. If he fails to do so within the day the poll ends, the next person in the poll may do so.

10. Pictures should have a title to make them easy to identify, however this is optional.

11. Do not attach your entry to the thread, instead use an external host such as photobucket.com or imageshack.us, to allow hotlinking from the voting thread.

---------

Maybe we should have a set timezone for the days, I don't know...

[Mr. Mu]

If 7 days are not too long for the crowd I would say seven, because there is a bigger chance I can enter. Sure I can shoot and develop if it's 5, but it's just so much more relaxed...:D

[purplerose]

I like those better. Maybe a clean and even 6 for Rule 7?

[Morbid]

6 days might be a good compromise. What does everyone else think?

[SamIce]

uhu fine 4 me

[Atlantis_Drift]

if the film guys really need the extra days, i think we should give it to them. no inconvenience on our part!

[Morbid]

I wouldn't mind, but it's up to the mods I guess. Mods, could you talk about it and then maybe set up a poll?
Both on if people want the new rules and on how many days the challenge should be open.

[Mr. Mu]

just popping in to say I like 6
