AI Thread Summary
The PF Photo Contest invites participants to showcase their most unique and original photographs from November 1-7, adhering to specific rules regarding submission size and editing. Only one photo per member is allowed, and all entries must be the member's own work, with no reuse in future contests. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but should avoid significant alterations. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, with multiple threads for larger entry numbers.

Something different[/color][/size]

Let's see your creative side. What do you consider your most different, unusual or original photographs?.

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

I think I know what that is, but I agree, another vote.
And a big plus is that the kids can't make jokes about some nice girl from Dallas and your photo :rolleyes:.

is it a new born baby girl black hole?

:smile: Looks awfully pink for a black hole. :biggrin:

I really like your photo though. A sprinkler in the shower is definitely different!

drizzle said:
mmmmm, is it the inside of a vase turbo-1??
You got it! It's the inside of a tiny hand-blown bud vase. I thought the tiny bit of vegetable matter on the bottom (and dirt) might give it away.

BTW, I bought that little vase at a flea market for $3 and it was appraised by a well-known art glass expert at $250-300 (auction estimate).

Thank you.
Being the mother of a female black hole, trust me that is not too pink. Give this little one time and she will show her true black. She will erase memory, she will stretch out time, she will have a major event horizon.
I think it's a new born black hole. :smile:

I have already posted it last year, but somehow I can't think about anything better.

I was playing with a laser pointer.

All that talk about black holes in pink context reminded me of something.

My Dad died in 1991, several years later I meet son of his close friend - Peter. Peter told me, that one day he heard our Dads talking about us (we were both in our early teens at the time). His dad said something about us being older and older, and starting to look after girls or shifting interests towards girls - something like that. My Dad replied "You must be right, Marcin asked me yesterday what a black hole is".

Dad's can be so clever.
And it sure is hard to keep things clean around you frisky science types.

Thanks a ton.! A compliment can do wonders believe me. :)

Ooh, I like that one sganesh! One "different" flower. Very cool. I like the quote you put with it too.
 
  • #38
sganesh,
Your photo really speaks out at this time in our history, (not putting a number on that time line.)
Purity of hope surrounded by so many exhausted and beaten down, mixed in with the darkness.
This photo seems to simply define what "different" is like Moonbear seems to say.

Against the opposing force. Thank you for bringing Gandhi's memory and wisdom here to share.
 
  • #39
Thanks Lacy.. Gandhi's words struck me when i saw those flowers.
Persistence and determination aren't reserved for the humans alone, i feel..
Thank you for bringing Gandhi's memory and wisdom here to share.
The quote was a part of his article "On God". You can read the full article and listen to his voice in this page.
http://www.gandhiserve.org/information/listen_to_gandhi/lec_1_on_god/augven_spiritual_message.html

Much of his ideas in this article are relevant to physics.
"The Law and Law Giver are One"
Gandhi's God is much akin to the God of the Celestial Religion proposed by Einstein. Its stunning how people in such different fields come to the same conclusion on these matters. :-o

It's 640 x 621 and it should be no more than 650 x 490

And, Marzena, what is that in your picture? It's very creepy looking. Cool, but creepy looking.

OK, Thank you. I was trying to help size it with photo bucket but if this is not the correct size then I don't know how to re size it.

Thanks for the resize guys.

Ivan, I'm afraid you're too late. voting has started
 
  • #50
Ivan,
I'm sure that if I were there and was left to navigate only by what is shown in your photo, I would be totally confounded. There are so many "different" and confusing things in the the picture that it almost makes me feel as if I were from Mars.
I can't say it's a real "feel good" picture, but I think you might have gotten a lot of votes on it including mine.
