Default Photo Competition XI - 12-07-2007, 08:34
Okay,I hesitantly start this new thread now:
The theme for this one is:

JOY

Entries in by: 24th of December

THE RULES:
Rules *

- Photographs must be taken by you - no nicking them off the Web
- Photos must be taken specifically for the contest - get out there and get snapping!
- One picture per person.
- No excessive digital manipulation (i.e. adding a more dramatic sky from another photo to your picture). Playing with levels, saturation etc is ok though.
- Equipment: Anything goes as long as the results can be seen from here.
- Voting takes place when the contest closes.
- The winner of the contest gets to choose the next subject.
- Late entries will not be included in the voting.

Pity, My mum has a friend called Joy, but she lives in Florida, so a bit hard to take a picture of her. And also that would mean putting up with her for at least a few minutes. So nope. I'll just have to go look for some normal joy instead.

Damn Spider pig

When I saw the title, a photo I took a few years back came to mind. If I can find it, I will share - just for the joy of it. Not as my entry.

Now where can I find a bit of joy in this most stressful of seasons....
Self portrait is out, as I'm as miserable as sin gone wrong at the moment!

Can anyone provide an idiots guide to posting pictures? Never done it before... not very IT minded (i.e. file format, size etc).

You can upload photos to your album on this site, Rewr, but I'd better let Mal or someone give details, as I don't know too much about it. Otherwise, there are sites like photobucket and flickr that host photos.

I'd like those instructions too, I have a few photos that I would like to share in an album here but I keep getting a message that I'm not allowed to post to an album, I must be doing something wrong.

Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing is the place I use for hosting photos, their upload system has much improved and is now quite simple, and more importantly, you don't get flooded by pop-ups and adverts. Create an account, and once done, follow the upload photos instructions. Once your pictures are online, simply right click on the photo, copy the address of the pic and paste it in your post here using the "Insert Image" button. Be careful, in some formats, the flickr picture addresses add a "?v=0" bit after the ".jpg" file extension, this extra bit must be removed before posting.

Thanks, I should be able to figure out Flickr again, I've got pictures in a couple of other photosharing sites too, maybe I'll try those too. But I still don't know why I can't put stuff in the album here.

JOY!??* At Christmas?
Call me Mr scrooge...but!

*Sorry could be the tablets!

Okay. I'll give it my best shot. (with a camera - not a rifle)

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.

Ah but have you noticed the closing date Joculator, You can't use pics of people opening their underwear and cheap perfume on Christmas day. So you need to find Joy during the time of Christmas shopping. I'm not sure it's possible.

Y'know what they say. Red sky at night, Ankh-Morporks Alight.

Well you go to http://www.terrypratchettbooks.org/octarine/ and click "Upload file", and then browse to the image on your computer. That's about it really.

Well it seems to have worked....



Not sure when this was taken - it was found in amongst old family photos and slides. May even be older than me! Think it may be my Grandad (mayherestinpeace) who took this.

Inspiration has also struck (I will tell all with my entry), but need to find batteries...

TVM for all your help.

What is it? It looks like a hub cap from a VW camper van.
