AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest with the theme of stainless steel. Participants are encouraged to submit digital photos relevant to the theme, adhering to specific rules regarding size, editing, and originality. Each member can submit only one photo, which must be their own work. The contest allows for minor adjustments in brightness and contrast but prohibits significant alterations. Photos must be uploaded to an image hosting site and linked in the contest thread. At the end of the contest, a poll will determine the favorite submission. One participant shared a photo of the "Cloud Gate" sculpture, commonly known as "The Bean," highlighting its stainless steel composition. The conversation also includes a light-hearted comment about the nickname for the sculpture and its cultural significance.

Stainless steel? The metal? Yes, that's our theme for this week!

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 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 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. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

One thing you see a lot of in the food industry is stainless. I have a lot of cool photos from about ten years ago but can't find my old backup disc at the moment. I did manage to find one in an old trip report.

This is the "Cloud Gate" sculpture in Millennium Park in Chicago. But much to the consternation of the artist, we prefer to call it "The Bean"! :)

That would make the people in the photo, Beaners?

Genuine Sheffield "Stainless Steel"

(a relative term perhaps).
