Symmetry is something that looks the same on one side as it does the other.

Find something around your local area that is symetrical, take a photo, upload it here :)

I thought the quality in the first chess one was supposed to be like that - it looks good, almost somewhat old.

Not sure what ^ has to do with the topic though!

Here's my entry:

Although I took it a while ago, I haven't long framed it.

I thought that but some of the submissions so far don't seem to show that at least in my opinion. Even though they're good shots.

Edit: After looking again, I see it. I guess I just wasn't paying close enough attention.

The point of the assignments are to get you to look at the topics in an arbitrary manner. I urge, if not request that you 'look outside of the box' and be more conceptual in your shooting as opposed to blind following the topic!

I also urge that votes should be made on originality and concepts just as much as visuals!

But who am I to judge :)

You, as well as the rest of the members ARE the judge! If you don't think it fits your idea of the topic well, don't vote for that person!

took this last week for the assignment whilst on holiday in Selsey ( south coast of UK ), unfortunately I don't have a super duper camera but hopefully managed to capture the symmetry :)

This is looking out to the isle of wight which was having a nice storm - lucky me. Up until that point my shots were boring.

Looks good, but I think you're supposed to post your entry < 800.

Pardon the ignorance, but on:

Voting Deadline: 29th July

Entries Deadline: 5th Aug

I'm confused... If I submit something say, on the 4th, it won't be voted on ?

Voting deadline was for the last assignment, sorry I didn't specify that! A new voting deadline will be updated one entries are closed.

For now I'll make that clearer in the original thread, thanks mate.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
