Discussion Overview

The thread discusses a photo contest centered around the theme of isosceles triangles, outlining the rules for submission and the requirements for eligible photographs. Participants are invited to submit their photos that feature physical representations of isosceles triangles.

Discussion Character

  • Contest-related

Main Points Raised

  • The contest requires that photos must depict physical objects shaped like isosceles triangles, not drawings or paintings.
  • Participants can submit one photo each, and once submitted, it cannot be changed unless withdrawn.
  • Photos must be uploaded to a photo server or directly to the forum, adhering to file size limitations.
  • There are specific rules regarding the originality of the photos, emphasizing that they must be taken by the participant themselves.
  • A later post mentions a mathematical expression, which appears unrelated to the contest theme.
  • Another participant shares a photo titled "McDonalds - Sydney Airport," but it is unclear if this is a submission or just a mention.
  • A reminder is given about the impending deadline for photo submissions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the contest rules and requirements, but there is no discussion of differing opinions or competing views regarding the theme or submissions.

Contextual Notes

The thread does not address any limitations or assumptions regarding the interpretation of what constitutes an isosceles triangle in the context of photography.

Isosceles Triangle

The theme is simple enough. Your photo must have, as its main subject, objects with the geometric shape of one or more isosceles triangle.

The triangle shape, however, cannot be just a sketch, a drawing, or in a painting. It must be a physical shape of something.

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 withdrawal 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.
