AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed around the color blue, where participants must submit a digital photo that predominantly features blue. Key rules include accepting only original photos, resizing them to specified dimensions, and allowing minimal editing such as brightness and contrast adjustments. Each member can submit only one photo, and once submitted, it cannot be changed except for compliance with the rules. Photos must be uploaded to external servers and linked in the contest thread. At the end of the submission period, a poll will determine the winner based on member votes. The conversation also includes personal anecdotes about photography experiences, particularly with blue glass and baking soda crystals, highlighting the creative process behind capturing blue-themed images.

True Blue[/size]

This week's contest is brought to you by the color BLUE! Blue must be the predominant[/]b] color in your photo. While there can be many shades of blue, please make sure that the color/s is/are clearly within the blue family.

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.

Wow, that's really cool! What is it?
 
Baking soda crystals in the bottom of a blue glass.

I used to get stomach aches, and drinking a little bit of baking soda dissolved in water would settle my stomach before bed. That is what was in the bottom of the glass the next morning. It is probably smaller than a square inch. I had so much fun with it that I started putting liquid on all sorts of color of glass, then photographing it if it dried well. So I have several colors. :smile:
 
Can't get any bluer than that!

My pic seems to come and go. :frown:

If you can see nothing then someone who has seen it will surely tell you it is a winner.
:biggrin:
