AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "A Lonely Path," inviting participants to submit digital or digitally-scanned photos that reflect this concept. Key rules include a limit of one photo per member, with submissions needing to be original images taken by the participant. Photos must adhere to size limitations, ideally under 1 MB, and can be hosted on external sites or uploaded directly to the forum. After the submission period, a poll will allow members to vote for their favorite photo, with the possibility of multiple polling threads if entries are numerous. The conversation highlights the quality of submissions, with participants expressing uncertainty about their voting choices due to the high standard of entries. The theme evokes imagery of solitude and exploration, as illustrated by a member's submission of a river's path to the sea, enhanced by an accidental lens effect.

A Lonely Path

What image does that phrase conjures up in your mind? That's the picture that we want to see.

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. Size limitations: Your photo is only limited to the file size limitation set by PhysicsForums. However, your may want to consider reducing the size of your photo if the file size exceeds 1 Mb. If your file is being hosted elsewhere, I will have to see how it is being displayed here, and I may ask you to resize and resubmit if it causes problems.

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.

The effects on this photo is actually due to the lens being unintentionally greasy.
It turned out pretty nice anyway, I think.

Maybe it, at length, leads to somewhere interesting.

A few minutes later, the class period ended and the path wasn't lonely any more.
