RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest.

2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.

4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700 pixels. Free resizing software - Irfanview.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am Eastern (5am GMT) on the posted end date.

8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.

Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing.

Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 2 days (12am Sunday - 12am Tuesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!
 
Please submit your photos in this thread and a mod will re-post them when voting starts in a separate voting thread.

Submissions: November 02 - November 08
Voting: November 09 - November 10

Next theme: Size/Enormity/Vastness [November 09 - November 15]
followed by: Permanence [November 16 - November 22]
followed by: Regional Culture [November 23 - November 29]
followed by: Blurry/Out-of-Focus [November 30 - December 06]
 
prison.jpg


This is an old black and white print I made almost 3 years ago, taken in Salem, MA. Print quality ain't so great but I was a darkroom noob back then :D It's an early 20th century prison that's supposedly haunted by former inmates.
 
Happy Halloween. Of course i had to submit a rat theme for ole' Hallows Eve, be it belated. This picture is being used in a rat magazine this month, i don't get any money for it unfortunately, i donated it the photo without a fee because it's for a rat rescue magazine.

^We don't allow any editing in pictures besides resizing and cropping. We also have a size limit of 700 x 700 pixels. If you have anything that fits these guidelines, you're more than welcome to enter them! :) Unfortunately, you just missed out on our edits welcome round.
 
SA LOVE YOUR PHOTO!!! I love anything paranormal and that photo's got paranormal stamped all over it. It's a perfect photo!.

Auto.. I see an outline of something but i can't say it's a ghost though. But i could be wrong. What is it that makes you think this is a ghost? It actually looks more like reflections but i could be wrong. I study a lot of ghost photo's and I'd say only 20 % of them or less are actual ghost. Most are camera malfunctions, fakes, reflections, shadows. When you see a real ghost, you know it right away and i can't say i see a real ghost in this photo but heck, i could be wrong.

Is this a haunted location? Has their been paranormal activity reported in this spot? Has it been studied and examined buy professional Paranormal experts?

It's a great photo though. And i do see two more outlines of something the more i look at it but the outlines have a yellow color and since there is a yellow/green hue to the photo it could be a reflection of light. But, like i said, it very well could be a ghost, i am not a paranormal expert, just an enthusiast although, i plan on going on some investigations sometime in the future.. only if i have some Xanax though, because I'll chicken out lol.

But it's beautiful photo.

^^it's a long exposure where someone stood in the frame for a few seconds and then left (leaving them only partially exposed in the image and transparent), common way to make people look like ghosts ;)

sorry auto238367 lol, cool image though...love the colors!
 
Eon Blue. That's what i wanted to say but didn't have the heart to let someone down if the really believed that was a ghost. I work with camera's as a hobby myself and i know how easy it is to fake a ghost. Eon, is right on with his diagnoses. I was just trying to be polite lol.

Oooh very spooky photo kelvan! Nice :)
 
SA, excellent photograph, it is very eerie.

I thought I had entered this one previously, but I think I procrastinated and ended up not making the deadline, as the last Halloween contest had only 3 (iirc) entries!:o
