Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a photo contest themed "Technicolor," where participants must submit a photo featuring a wide variety of colors. The conversation includes clarifications on contest rules, particularly regarding what constitutes acceptable color variation.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • Participants must submit a photo that contains a "sufficient" number of different colors, with specific rules about color variation due to lighting or angle.
  • One participant questions whether a rainbow would qualify under the contest rules, suggesting it may not meet the criteria due to color variation from light.
  • Another participant confirms that a rainbow is ruled out as it is considered a result of "varying light or angle."
  • There is a reiteration of the rule that photos must be original works taken by the participant, not reproductions or altered images.
  • Participants are reminded of the deadline for submissions as the contest period nears its end.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is a disagreement regarding the inclusion of rainbows as qualifying entries, with some participants asserting that they do not meet the contest's color variation criteria. The discussion remains unresolved as to whether other interpretations of the rules might allow for different submissions.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the strictness of the contest rules, particularly regarding the definition of acceptable color variation and the originality of submitted photos. Some assumptions about what constitutes "sufficient" color variation remain undefined.

Technicolor

This week, your photo can be on any subject. However, there is one very strict requirement. Your photo must have as many varied and different colors as possible. This is to be one very colorful photo contest.

Please note that if your photo does not contain "sufficient" number of different colors, it may be disqualified. Variation in colors due to varying light or angle does not count.

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. Alternatively, you may simply upload your image file to PF, and then have the full image displayed in your post.

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.

Unfortunately, a rainbow does not qualify since it is considered as colors due to "varying light or angle".
