SUMMARY

The Photo Contest titled "Crystal Lattice" requires participants to submit a digital photo featuring a repeated pattern of atoms or molecules, reflecting the concept of a crystal lattice. Photos must adhere to specific guidelines, including a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels, and can only undergo minimal adjustments such as brightness and contrast. Each member is allowed to submit one original photo, which cannot be altered once posted, and submissions must be made within the contest period from July 9 to July 15. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, with potential multiple polling threads based on the number of entries.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of digital photography basics
  • Familiarity with photo resizing techniques
  • Knowledge of image hosting platforms like Imageshack or Photobucket
  • Awareness of contest rules and submission guidelines
NEXT STEPS
  • Research techniques for capturing repeated patterns in photography
  • Learn how to resize and crop images using software like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP
  • Explore best practices for submitting photos to online contests
  • Investigate methods for enhancing photo brightness and contrast without altering the original image significantly
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for amateur photographers, photography enthusiasts, and contest participants looking to enhance their skills in capturing and submitting digital photos that meet specific thematic criteria.

Crystal Lattice

In solid state physics, a crystal lattice is an arrangement of atoms/molecules in a repeated pattern. So this week, your photo must have, as its main subject, something that has a repeated pattern. Please ensure that this repeated pattern occurs more than just once or twice, and that the pattern is repeated adjacent to each other (i.e. it doesn't occur a meter away, for example).

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. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

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.

Final day to submit your photo for this contest. This appears to be a difficult one.
