Hmm, point taken.

Thing is, if this is to happen every 2 weeks, I'd like to give a full weeks notice to get your votes in, you can wait till a day prior if you so wish - but this is just a way to get everyone to make sure their entries are in early, and on time!

I'll think about other ways I can do this though.

It's simple.

Have assignment A end on the 20th. The thread is locked and nobody can add pictures to it. Voting will go to the 27th.

Have assignment B start on the 21st. People can post their new assignment pictures to that thread.

I also think this to be the best solution; many websites have used this strategy to host contests with great success.

Also, what are the limits on post-processing?(photoshopping)?

None as long as you have an original raw file. Make a composite if you like!

Perfect.

I'll update the original post with this information.

I was thinking... this is a great idea! But it failed last time because of members lack of control over it... I'm not sure how well neowin would like this idea, but why not set up a seperate site for these kind of competitions? So that you can make a system for people to submit entries and vote etc..

It's early days, I'm willing to alter and change the process of the assignment to suit the needs of the majority of people taking part!

I think it's less of a competition, and more of a collaboration of ideas, I just want to push people to be more creative and learn more technically to better the quality of input into the assignment!

Is there a way to replicate that effect using a point and shoot camera? or is there a way to replicate it using photoshop?

I love it.

Thanks! it's quite easy, just have a high iso with low shutter speed and experiment :)

High ISO on a compact though might be a problem as you get lots of noise :(

Are we still allowed to submit? Not sure when the deadline is.

Nevermind.

However are we allowed to link to images? As My image exceeds 800px in width.

What should i do maccy?

:)

You could always resize it using a program such as irfanview or photoshop.

Couple of choices, you can link me via PM and I'll re-link you with a re-sized version if you'd like.

Or you could upload to Flickr yourself and choose a different resolution, otherwise you could try resizing yourself

Voting will continue till 29th, new assignment will be posted once this contest deadline arrives.

Had more submissions for numero uno than I imagined! Good work folks, some really astounding shots. Hopefully the new topic will be a little less boring for you all!

Actually,

That would be 1 second before noon :p

Oof! I was a little specific on that time, wasn't I, ha ha.

I'll happily allow pictures a little while past the deadline, but once the thread is locked ready for voting, there's nothing else I can do!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
