AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed on steam, specifically focusing on images capturing steam in its vapor form. Participants must submit a single digital photo that adheres to specific rules, including size limitations (800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels), minimal editing (brightness and contrast adjustments allowed), and originality (photos must be taken by the participant). The contest prohibits the reuse of submitted photos in future contests and requires that only relevant submissions be posted in the contest thread. A voting process will follow the submission period, with potential for multiple polling threads if entries are numerous. Participants share personal experiences related to steam, particularly referencing Yellowstone National Park and its famous geysers, highlighting a shared familiarity with the location among members.

Steaming Hot

This week, our theme is on the gaseous phase of water - steam.

Your photo must have, as its main subject, a clear image of steam in its vapor form. So steam coming off a hot cup of coffee is an example, or the white billowy puffs coming off a steam engine is another.

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.

I was referring to the location ... most ( particularly those from the USA) will recognise my pic as Old Faithful geyser from Yellowstone ... my last visit there was in 2006.
I'm pretty sure that Janus's pic is from there as well :wink:Dave

Yep. This was from my last visit in 2015. It had been a couple of decades since I had been their last. I've been there three times as an adult, and at least a couple of times as a child (back in the 60's when they still had the "bear jams".)
