    [​IMG] CURRENT THEME [​IMG]
    Theme: Water
    Extra's: No lakes, oceans, rivers or canals
    Deadline for submitting a photograph:
    Friday 14th of September 2007 at 6pm GMT (this boards time)
    Late entries won't be accepted!


    [​IMG] NEXT THEME [​IMG]
    Theme: Amusement Park/Theme Park/Fun Park/Fair
    Extra's: none
    Deadline for submitting a photograph:
    Around 25th of September 2007.
    You can already send in your entry if you would like!


    [​IMG] RULES [​IMG]
    Please read them very carefully before taking your photograph and submitting it for entry.

    1. A photograph may not violate the policy set by this forum, Talk CSI.

    2. It’s entirely up to you how you interpret the theme. However the person(s) who make(s) this competition can always reject a submitted photograph.

    3. You are only allowed to submit ONE photograph for each theme. However when you think you made a better one after already submitting one and the deadline has not passed you can submit one again. The one submitted before will be deleted.

    4. The photograph you submit must be your own work, i.e. it has to have been taken by you. Don’t submit something your friend or family took, or something you found on the internet. It is a very sad and unfair thing to do.

    5. Entries must be no larger than 600x480 pixels. If they are, I will ask you to re-size it. I will only accept JPG format files.

    6. This competition (like the icon challenges in Fan Art) is an anonymous one – this means you MUST NOT POST YOUR PHOTOGRAPH HERE. If you do, it will be disqualified, otherwise your friends will see it and may vote for it even if there are better photographs submitted. In addition to this, don’t go around telling people which photograph is yours and getting them to vote for it – that is a very sad and lowly thing to do, and the voting for this competition should be unbiased.

    If people consistently do not follow these rules, or I see signs of any unfairness, I will not hesitate to stop these competitions. The rules are to make things fair, so please do follow them so everyone can enjoy the competitions. Sometimes some of the rules will be bend a bit when mentioned with the extra of the theme! So be sure to read everything carefully each time.

    [​IMG] RULES FOR PHOTO MANIPULATION [​IMG]

    1. Additions on your camera; setting manual options, filters, other than the normal lenses, etc are all allowed.

    2. Saturation, white balance, colour balance, levels; NOT AFTER taking the photo.

    3. Burn, sharpen, borders, filters (editing program filters), layers; Not allowed

    4. Cropping; Allowed

    5. Rotating; If you have a photo taken with the long side as the height you have to rotate it when it comes from your camera. Of course that 90 degrees rotate is allowed. To put horizons straight and sort of stuff will be considered as manipulation.

    Even though most of the manipulation can be done without being noticed. I trust you guys on your honesty! If someone wants to use another tool that is not here on the list you can always ask me if it is allowed or not and I'll add it to this rules list as well.

    [​IMG] UPLOAD YOUR PHOTO [​IMG]
    Once you have taken your photograph, you should upload it to your own webspace, such as a Photobucket account, and PM me the link.

    [​IMG] WINNERS [​IMG]
    Winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) may each receive a banner, available from me upon request via PM.

    [​IMG] THE END [​IMG]
    Any questions, please either post them here, or PM me.
    Thanks and enjoy making your photograph!

    @Berylla Nienna: You can enter any competition you like... Size is mentioned in the initial post made in this thread! So is the deadline for sending in photos!

    @BonaTaylor: Current comp. is "water". The next one will be about theme/rollercoaster/fun parks, fun fairs and such!
