AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a photo contest themed around the concept of "hot," specifically focusing on subjects that are literally hot in temperature. Participants are encouraged to submit digital photos that clearly depict something hot, with specific guidelines on photo quality and submission. Photos must be resized to a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels, and only one submission per member is allowed. Editing is limited to brightness and contrast adjustments, and all photos must be original work taken by the participant. The contest will conclude with a voting poll for members to choose their favorite image. Examples of potential subjects include lava or food cooked at high temperatures, emphasizing the need for clarity in conveying the theme of heat.

You're Hot!

No, this is not in the figurative sense, but in the literal sense. Your photo must have, as its main subject, something that is hot, as in temperature.

Of course, "hot temperature" is subjective to a certain extent, but use your judgement. Furthermore, please make sure that your photo shows something that is clearly hot. An outdoor photo on a 102 degree (F) temperature doesn't quite convey the sense of "hotness" here. Ultimately, I will have to decide if your subject is "hot enough" to qualify for this 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 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.

Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
