November 2007 Primary Gallery - "Moment Frozen In Time" - Voting Results
November 2007 Secondary Gallery - "Motion" - Voting Results

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to monthly contest #6! I'll tell you what, after the first month, I didn't think we'd continue this much longer afterwards. Now we're towards the end of the year, and we regularly have plenty of entries to view and vote on. In order to possibly perk a bit more interest, I thought about trying to go with a set of themes that contrasted nicely with one another, dubbed "dueling themes" by myself
. Not too clever, but I do what I can.
So here's what I have in mind. The primary theme of this month will be "Moment Frozen In Time". I'm talking high-speed shutter type stuff, and the photo will hopefully be something that you don't normally see during regular movement/motion. For example, a water drop hitting a puddle of water, or, if you're good enough, a bullet crashing through a glass jug ( ....that was a joke, but I'd be glad to take an entry for that if someone has the setup). The secondary theme will be titled "Motion". This one will hopefully use a bit slower shutter speed, and actually show some motion to the subject in the photo. Cars, people, whatever...something with some motion blur.
As always, feel free to use this thread to suggest themes for next month's contest.

November Contest Dates:
- Photo must be taken between November 1 - 24, 2007.
- Photo must be submitted by end of day, November 24, 2007.
- Voting begins ~ November 25, 2007, and will run through the evening of the 29th.
- Winner to be announced at the end of voting.
- "Moment Frozen In Time"
- I'm looking for a photo with a high-shutter speed that will freeze a moment of movement or motion, portraying an image that you just can't see normally.
- If there are any questions on the subject matter, let's discuss it here.
- "Motion"
- This photo submission will hopefully use a slower shutter speed to convey a sense of motion. I imagine that we'd be able to "see" movement in every submission.
- Submitted photos must easily pertain to the contest subject matter.
- Contest eligible pictures MUST be taken within the dates stated for this month's contest.
- Only one submitted photo per entrant.
- Full EXIF info is strongly suggested to be retained with any submitted picture. I am ceasing to make this a requirement, due to the fact that this is merely a fun and no-prize contest.
- Submitted photos must abide by forum rules (which basically means no nudity)
- We are now going to dispense with any PP rules. Anything is allowed, but I still want to discourage the following:
- Try to refrain from turning your photo into "graphic art".
- I would like to discourage major cloning and photo transplants.
- Each person is given until the time that I put up the voting to submit their picture. Polls are usually erected the morning of the start date of voting.
- Smallest picture size available to submit will be limited to 1200 pixels on the smallest side. This gives everyone with atleast a 2MP camera a chance to enter. (Any arguements on this one?) - UPDATE: If anyone has any problems with this, we can dispense with this rule. Now that I think about it, any full-size originals you submit to me will be available for anyone here to grab.
- Please submit JPG's only! (Highest quality setting for JPG is suggested to reduce compression artifacts.)
- Your final entry can be made at any time between the start of the contest itself until the submission deadline stated above.
- Each member will have only ONE chance to submit a final entry for the contest. Once you submit, that is it.
- There will be two ways to get your photo to me:
- Email your photo to blurredvision at gmail dot com, and BE SURE to include your username in the body of the email. Sometimes I've had to go back and references people's profiles on here with the email address. Luckily I've not had any problems yet with matching photos to users without having to send emails back and forth. Please send a PM indicating an email has been sent just incase it's put in the spam folder.
- PM me with a link to your full-size photo on the web.
- Voting will begin at the date stated at the start of this thread.
- The gallery will be available to view at all times as pictures are added throughout the contest, however all final entries will be posted in this thread with links, along with a poll at the top of the thread.
- Voting will stay open until the deadline.
- Due to the nature of the contest being ran by regular members, there are no prizes to be offered. You will only gain the satisfaction of being chosen by the members of Anandtech as the best in this month's theme.
- If any prizes are able to be given away in any future contests, I will be sure to outline the details. If you do not see mention of a prize, then assume there isn't one.
- I try my best to keep everything organized on my end in regards to picture submissions and the names of users that submitted those. If you find any errors, PLEASE let me know so I may correct them. I've not been told that I've linked to wrong pictures, or labeled pictures with the wrong usernames yet, so I must be doing something right. But that's the last thing I want is giving credit for a photo to the wrong person.
