Mini-Challenge #421:
In Disguise.
Begins now,
ends at 11:00 AM CST, on Sunday, June 12th, 2016!
After collaborating with my wife and kids, and reviewing all the themes from the last year, I finally came up with the "In Disguise" theme!!
This theme includes any picture from any camera with any subject matter and any lighting but
must meet this one requirement:
the photo cannot be recognized! These will be pictures that look like something totally different than the intended subject matter; either by surprise or intentional! An intentional example at the bottom. I will post a 'by surprise' photo later, if I can find one!
I'll be judging by how different and unique your photo is compared to the accidental or intended subject matter! If you have two pictures, you can post them; if not, an explanation will be fine!
Stories are great: where, when, how? Learning other’s methods is both helpful and fun. With the pop-up exif data, and comments, at the end we will have a nice collection of photos and information that anyone can hover over to learn what worked.
Guidelines: (many words for clarity, but it is easy)
1. Submit
Entries to Win (3 maximum); and/or
Exhibits (unlimited). Photos taken by you, using any camera, any time.
2.
Clarify, in the Header of your post:
Entry or Exhibit. If not labeled but meant to be an entry: if you forgot, you can clarify it yourself as an entry later, or, it will be considered an Exhibit.
3.
To post images: Reply to a Post from the Host: this initial post, or any subsequent post from the host, ‘OP’ (original poster) will be seen in the Header of any post by the host.
4.
To post comments: a big part of the fun of these: reply either to the host, or reply to any forum member’s post as desired.
a.
‘Reply’ opens a new blank window, (always indicating whom you are replying to). Write text, insert images, paste internet links, ….,
b.
‘Reply with Quote’ opens a window with all prior text and images intact. You add what you want, where you want. You can delete any of the original material, keeping only what you want shown.
5. End of Mini-Challenge: Results
a. Host declares the mini-challenge ‘ended’ in the original Thread.
b. Host starts a
new Separate RESULTS Thread: format like this so they look alike:
***Mini-Challenge #(???)*** (theme name): RESULTS.
c. Host selects and announces 1, 2, 3 place (from only the Entries).
d. Host optionally picks Honorable Mentions, (from Entries or Exhibits).
e. Please include a copy of at least the last 10 themes in the results thread for the new host to view!
6. New Mini-Challenge
a. 1st Place becomes the Host of the Next Mini-Challenge. If 1 place declines for some reason, #2 becomes the next Host (or #3 if needed).
b. New Host
picks a theme, start time, and end time (typically 1 week, some longer)
c. New Host
starts a New Mini-Challenge Thread, this format:
***Mini-Challenge #(next number)*** NEW THEME NAME
d. Describe the Theme, Post a few example photos.
e. Cut and paste the guidelines from here to the new thread.
Here's an example of an actual photo, intentional with no PP:
Looks like Brain Coral but it's actually some type of fungus mushroom!
And here's what it actually looks like...
Just a mushroom!
