[ZOXXO]

Is this dead?

 

[b0mbrman]

Think so 🙁

Would have been neat too 🙁

 

[Hyperblaze]

I refuse to believe this is dead. The concept is just too cool.

Heck, if this is dead, I'll help out in the organization so that we can bring this back to life!

 

[Anubis]

[Anubis]

OK HERES WHAT IVE GOT SO FAR

- Anubis will host submissions
- winners will be based on viewer ratings and maybe a finial say from some judges
as a tie breaker
- 3 technical sections: DSLR/Film, Prosumer, and Point & Shoot
- 1 entry per photographer per artistic section
- Can use pictures that were previously taken, But new work is always welcome


~ Email Submissions to "contest@rootminus1.com" and include the section
you want it in and what level camera you shot it with

Camera Sections

DSLRs & Film SLR Scans
Prosumer Cameras f717, G5
Point & Shoots


5 artistic sections (so far)

Macro
Land & Seascapes
People
Abstract
Heavily Photoshoped Images

I'm thinking about ability sections as well like

n00b
armature
Pro like

this all depends on how many images we get, if its not that many then sections could start getting lumped together

 

[ProviaFan]

What size would you like the submissions to be? Would it help for us to generate thumbnails also? If so, what size should they be?

 

[Anubis]

1600X1200 is a good size for them to be

no need for thumbnails because coppermine does that for you

 

[richardycc]

ok I am in!

Dude, that's easily 1 meg/pic!

You sure you want that kind of resolution?

Also...from looking at the different catagories...

Macro
Land & Seascapes
People
Abstract
Heavily Photoshoped Images

What is Macro?

 

[Anubis]

whatever it doenst matter

if you resize them with the windows resizer they are like 200K

It largely depends on the content of the image, and how much data you're willing to throw away. I tried resizing two shots to 1600x1200 and checking the compressed size in the Photoshop Save for Web plugin. JPEG High (60) quality level is the lowest that I find it's possible to go in the SFW dialog before one starts to notice significant JPEG artifacts even without zooming in. At this setting, one of my macro shots with large areas of bokeh was about 160KB. A landscape shot at the same size came to over 600KB.

 

[Anubis]

size doesnt matter to me whatever you want is fine i set the limit at 2 megs iand teh largest resolution is set to 2048x2048 no i can change this if someone wants to submit a panorama thats huge in 1 dimension

macro is really close up pics of things that are really small like bugs and such

anyway the gallery is created and its here
http://www.rootminus1.com/ATOT/index.php?cat=1

so unless people want further modifications to what i posted above i will make a thread about this tomorrow or the nest day offically starting the contest where i will repeat all the rules and how to submit images
