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.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am eastern on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am eastern 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!
 
I'm really looking forward to this one. Should be a great variety of entries.

Please try not to electrocute yourselves while taking the perfect shot, kids. Safety first. ;)

i live in north east USA. yeh most outlets have those reset buttons (i think thats what your refering to) but i was at work when i got zapped. i build residential boilers and we have to test the wireing to make sure we built the thing correctly. so we hook up raw power to the wires via 4 alligator clip leads.
one of the wires was loose on the boiler, and i guess power was running through the whole unit (all the metal)
after it happend I had a headache, i felt sick, my chest hurt, and i was pretty dizzy. i guess electicity was not made to run through humans.. who would have known=D
 
Wow the laws in your country must be very lax...........it would be illegal to do that in Australia.

Work Safety laws in our country are extremely tough.
 
ok enough chit chat about gettin zapped

i was going to try to capture a static arch from my finger to a piece of metal but that was much to difficlut to capture. sure I achieved the shock many times but thats about it.
 
^^^^^ WHAT?????????????????

You cant do that.

I put in an official complaint.

I demand action from whoever is running this bloody show.

I am thoughts stole my thoughts and used MY idea.

this is patently unfair as I am Thoughts obviously has an unfair advantage.

Bastardo.
 
^ if you put your camera on a tripod ,set the timer, then climb a power pole and grab the wires, you would deff beat it.


Mazdan: to late, you snooz you lose
 
he said "tesla"
i said "but i hardly know her!"


/runs away from angry mob
 
^ Either that is an aussie thing or I'm just very dumb (likely the latter).

I was going to say, Alasdair... I wondered if those things were legal to posess ;)
