AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photography contest themed "Through The Looking Glass," where participants submit images captured through transparent or semi-transparent objects, such as glass windows or cases. Key contest rules include the requirement that the transparent object must not be part of the photography equipment, limiting submissions to original digital photos relevant to the theme. Photos must be resized to specific dimensions and can only undergo minor adjustments in brightness and contrast. Each member is allowed to submit one photo, which cannot be changed once posted, and submissions must be original work taken by the member. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, potentially across multiple threads if there are many entries. Participants share personal anecdotes related to their submissions, enhancing community engagement.

Through The Looking Glass

Our contest this week is on scenes or entities seen through a transparent or semi-transparent objects. For example, a photo of a scene through a glass window, or of an object behind a glass case. It is anything that is seen through something transparent or semi-transparent.

Please note that this transparent object should not be a part of your photography equipment. This means that a filter, an additional zoom lens, etc. do not qualify. The transparent medium must not be part of the picture-taking system that enhances or assisted in capturing the image.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.

This gecko is too busy shedding its skin that it didn't even bother to sell me any insurance.

One day when I arrived at home I found a friendly bird waiting for me. He seemed curious about me and my pickup. He flew up and landed on the edge of the box of my truck. Not wanting to startle him, I took a photo through the glass using my rear view mirror. He hung around until my neighbor drove by. I like birds, so it was a very enjoyable encounter.
