PF PHOTO CONTEST - Something New (sept 27-oct 4)

In summary, the contest rules state that a digital photo must be taken between now and the close of the contest, and that it should be no more than 650 x 490 or 490 x 650 pixels in size. Digital photos that are relevant to the contest theme will be accepted, but other than adjusting brightness and contrast, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. A poll will be opened at the end of the contest period in which every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

Something new

The only restriction this week is that is must be a new photograph, taken between now and the close of the contest.

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.

Hmmm. I was just setting up a very similar picture, except for me instead of cats. Never mind.

Here's my new best friend on his new bed in his new house. I wanted to get a better picture of him, but it's raining heavily, so we had to do a flash shot. I waited until today to add one more "new" to the shot, but the new Panasonic camera did not show up today. Amazon shows a projected delivery date of Oct 5. Grrr.

Actually, he's a pretty energetic dog, but he takes his napping seriously, too. I took him for a walk around 4:00 this morning, and my wife walked him around 9:00 and 12:00 plus we just got back from another walk around 3:00. He's getting moderate exercise on rainy days like this. Next time we get a nice day, I'm going to take him to the field at the local scenic look-out and wear him out. My wife bought a ChuckIt tennis ball launcher and we need to break that in.

I think E will start laughing any day now (showing slight signs of it on occasion, but yet to go full-fledged). I can't wait.

I bet you can't! It's so adorable when they do... She's only 2 months old (today! holy hell I almost forgot!) but she's a riot already.

If she's showing signs of it, then I give it maybe another week or 2.. You just have to keep smiling and laughing while they're watching and they will pick it up haha

Kronos, since it was so near the close of the contest I resized your picture and hosted it myself but in future they need to be no bigger than 650x490 pixels :smile:
