AI Thread Summary
The forum discussion centers around a photo contest themed "We're Number One," where participants must submit a photo featuring the number "1" in either numeral or word form. Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with size limitations of 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot significantly alter the photo. Each member is allowed to submit one photo, which cannot be changed once posted, except for resizing. Photos must be original works, and submissions are to be uploaded to photo servers and linked in the contest thread. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, potentially across multiple threads if entries are numerous. The conversation also includes casual exchanges about specific photos and equipment used, showcasing community engagement and sharing of photography techniques.

We're Number One[/color][/size]

In this week's contest, your photo must clearly have the number "1", in numeral or in English word.

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

The English isn't perfect, but you get the sentiment.

"... and the first shall become last."

It would have come out a lot better if I had a polarizer to block the glare, but you use what you got... At least the game is against the hated Steelers!

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM Macro, either 1/40 5.0 or 1/30 5.6 (I took several pictures, changing aperture by 1/3, to find the best DOF - and I don't remember which one I finally selected). Shot from tripod, if memory serves me well without stabilization (I thought this information is saved in EXIF, but either it is not or I am blind).
