Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around sharing photos that participants wish to submit for various photo contests but are disqualified for different reasons, such as prior submissions, copyright issues, or missed deadlines. The thread encourages sharing personal photographs that fit the themes of past contests.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Participants express a desire to share additional photos that fit contest themes but are disqualified for various reasons.
  • Some participants share their photos and express preferences for certain images over others, often humorously.
  • Concerns are raised about the technical requirements for posting images, such as size limits and copyright ownership.
  • There are discussions about the potential for reusing themes in future contests, which may allow for previously disqualified photos to be submitted later.
  • Participants share personal anecdotes related to the photos, such as memories of past weather events or the significance of the images.
  • Some participants point out broken links to images, leading to discussions about how to properly share photos.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Contextual Notes

Here is a picture that has precisely nothing to do with any of the contests, but I thought was very cool.

It's a picture along a very long mirror glass wall. The white thing you see coming up from the bottom of the photo is a narrow concrete curb that runs all the way to the other wall, but the heat from the window is causing a mirage that hides the curb halfway down.

A motion picture would have been better. It danced like a candle flame.

The green thing at the end is a garden hose.

Zapper hasn't had a Bigfoot pictures theme yet and I'm tired of waiting. This was taken while trying to find Zooby during his downtime.

Hmmm. You were tracking the wrong bigfoot. Those prints clearly belong to some zoobie from the wrong side of the tracks who can't even afford a shoe.

He had shoes. Obviously he was at the beach. :rolleyes:

And the reason this year's tree isn't going to be in the photo contest...

That snowman was an ornament for the tree, but has now been claimed as one of many new toys that Ember thinks Santa left hanging on the tree for her. :rolleyes:

That's a great pic moonbear, I had a cat at home that used to like to bat at my mom's glass icicle decorations...she was not pleased.

Here's another shot of the tree I entered with different lighting. I'm only posting it here to see how many can find what's wrong in this picture.:confused:

About the We-built-that-city thread. So when we were visiting the London resident daughter the other week and we did London eye when I had the good fortune to a dramatic lightning snapshot that I finally selected instead of this one.

But unfortunately the contest was not about Salvador Dali elephants, stepping over Big Bens.

But then again perhaps Dali elephants did build London.

I don't remember which contest I could have enter these but anyway I did not take those.

The fall picture is from the fundy national park in new-brunswick and the second one is on the road the the park when coming from St-John, NB. At high tide, the cave is filled with water.

Shipped out from the New Year photo contest ...

Okay, here goes! I predict this picture survives 7 minutes before it is scratched out by the twin lightning bolts of the mighty Zz ... but what the heck; I like to tell a story!

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3293/img2086qt0.jpg

This is one of our instrument banks that let's us measure momentum transfer rates between electrons living in a pair of quantum wells. Since "momentum transfer rate" is just a fancy term for 'force', and since Bia is the Greek Goddess of force, I've always wanted to name this bank the Super Bia. The reason I haven't overtly done this, is out of concern that it may offend the sensibilities of any christians around here - "super Bia" sounds and looks a lot like superbia, which, as you all no doubt know, is the Latin word for 'hubris', the last and deadliest of the Seven Deadly Sins!

...tick tock tick tock...

PS: Just made up the above story a couple minutes ago, so when I said "always wanted", that may be a wee bit of an overstatement. Other details, however, are full of truthiness! :biggrin:

...tick tock tick...

I was just a bit too late for the Let it Snow one. But I'll post it here anyway.

Quite a nice picture, I think. :-)

LOL that is an awesome pic larkspur, I love it!
 
  • #141
That cat looks demented - a real ankle-shredder!
 
  • #142
Larkspur, you should send that to mycathatesyou.com.
 
  • #143
*throws down the bag of treats and backs slowly away from Larkspur's cat*

Does your cat actually have something wrong with its eyes, or is that some illusion created by the camera flash or angle?

:smile: :smile:
I think I caught her at the beginning of a yawn.:biggrin:
 
  • #145
hahahahaha
 
  • #146
I have one too, forgot the flash though.

Edit: geez, my cat used to be fat.

Yes, she has ocular albinism complete with esotropia (crossed eyes) and nystagmus (eyes shake). She probably has around 20/800 vision at best.

Lol, I just got up and that picture of your cat is still hillarious. I think the little grin is the funniest part. Nice christmas card idea. :-)
