Supersymmetry

The photos this week must have, as its main subject, something that has either a left-right symmetry, or up-down symmetry.

Good luck!

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread

Can it have *both* up/down and left/right symmetry? Must it have only one symmetry plane?

Borek

Funny, that was a question that crossed my mind immediately after reading contest description. I doubt it will be asked at any other forum

ZapperZ

You may have both.

Wow! Must be a difficult topic. I still see no symmetry!

Borek

Empty space is fully symmetrical, isn't it?

ZapperZ

It certainly is. Do you have a picture of that?

:)

I have some pretty symmetrical antique art-nouveau bookends. I posed them on a symmetrically-glazed tile table-top for extra credit. ;-)

Here is a prototype of a microwave horn antenna in the making.

My submission is also slightly skewed

AlephZero

Another slightly skewed image. but I couldn't run fast enough to get directly underneath it...

Borek

The one I took without removing lens cap should do

What I have here is embarras de richesse. Luckily there is still some time to decide. In the end it will be head or tails, several times.

Technically speaking cute kids are symmetrical, aren't they? But that would be a cheap shot.

KrisOhn

I wasn't going to upload this photo initially, since it is skewed a little, but I might as well, since we have lots of skewed photos here

ZapperZ

You have barely a day left to submit a photo for this contest. Find some symmetry in your life!
