LOUD![/color][/size]

They say that a picture can say a thousand words. Well, can it convey a LOUD SOUND? That is the theme for this week's contest. Find a photo that convey the impression of a very loud sound.

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

This is a tough one. I don't have any loud pictures and I can't even think of what to take a picture of

AC/DC was probably louder, but I am not going to post almost identical picture now

Hint: toddler, temper tantrum.

Need I say more? :)

Fortunately for me, my usual model is actually surprisingly un-toddlerlike in this regard.

I was leaning towards the drummers until that concert showed up. I've never been to a concert like that... where I think earplugs would be VITAL to my rather sensitive hearing.
 
I am going to go take a picture somewhere today! Hopefully I find some loud things. Last resort I'll take your advice and take a picture of someone's crying baby but people might tend to not like that :)
