Those of you who remember the old Pot or Not threads will recall that it was a nice piece of eye candy that really brightened up CD. For a while the project has been dormant and now it's time to bring it back into effect! So here's what you should know about it:
What is Pot or Not?
Pot or Not is a project where BL members submit images of pot to be graded by CD visitors (this is done via the forum's built-in voting function). It doesn't matter how good or bad the nugs look, in fact, the point is to have a diversity of schwag thrown in with the A++ nugs so that there's some variety. It's all for fun, and it doesn't matter whose nugs you photograph, but the basic requirement is that the picture must be taken by the person submitting it.
What are the requirements?
Following from the previous point, the basic requirement is that it must be a photo you took. Another requirement is that the photo be submitted with a resolution of at least 1600x1200. That's equivalent to just a 2MPixel camera, and higher resolutions are ofc preferred so that people can actually get a good look at what they're grading. A good picture should feature the nug in the centre of the frame with enough lighting to highlight the trichomes (or lack of) featured. Basically, you want to take a picture of good enough quality that we get as close as possible to as many visual details as we would get examining the nug in our hand. Extra eye candy is encouraged (i.e. glassware, kief sifters, hash pieces) as long as the focus of the pic is a nugget of green.
Here is an example of desired image quality, as you can see it's not professionally-staged, but it is detailed enough to make you salivate a bit
Less detailed is fine as you can't always control your camera's quality, but at least attempt to improve lighting conditions to bring out as much detail as possible.
Got it, how should I submit?
Just upload your picture to an image host (imgur is preferred as that host strips EXIF data from pictures to help protect your identity) and send us mods the link! Each submission will be given at least a week as a stickied thread, and beyond that it simply depends on the amount of submissions received. Participation is appreciated, so don't worry if all you have is some disgusting-looking schwag, as long as you can snap a great pic send it our way!
