SO Photography Contest Discussion!!

Should the weekly entry threads be closed when voting starts to prevent late entries?

Or are they kept open for the general comments of the ooohs and aaahs of the photography? :p

without checking, i'm pretty sure the mod makes a post in thread to say something like 'no more entries'. anyone posting an entry after that needs to take their computer back to the store, saying "i'm too stupid to own a computer". ;)

second question: yes.
 
^ Hah, good point. I just felt bad 'cause there was a pretty picture submitted this evening for the round that ended last week. You should know by now that people don't read! :p

cletus said:
No is the simple answer. As we have a no drug talk rule within SO, the last thing we need is photographs of the stuff.

Fair enough, though _Keaton, whaddya think about doing it in a forum that does allow drug discussion?

I think this would be AWESOME for those of us who aren't avoiding the droogz. I could see some really cool photo's coming from this. Maybe put it in drug culture? I'm not sure where a thread like that would fit best, but I think we should start one!
(I'll look into it)
 
That'd be awesome.
If I was a moderator over there I'd get it going for damn sure.
 
Yes, I'm sur.........ohhh.

Hmmm... that's right, I don't live here no more..... :(

I should have checked that post as well as the archive I suppose.
 
^You're the mod now, you can add whatever you'd like to the list. :D (Its part of the perks package we give you, since the pay isnt very good...)
 
can i just up and pick one of these for a future one? since i'm making the photo thread right now?.....since n3o said it, i'm gonna say treasure.
 
I'm new here but I've been scrolling through this thread and I've gotta lay a vote down for allowing processing - including HDR. Although if it's an issue, then why not have two separate sections - unedited (ie. straight from the camera, no built-in filter effects etc.) and edited, which can go all the way up to full HDR? It would also be an idea to label each photo with what camera was used - some automatically enhance photos anyway.
 
What is HDR?

We've had rounds where we allowed edits.....
We can always discuss having more with edits allowed :)
