South Oval Photo Contest Theme (08/11/2006): Animals

[Norm In Norman]

We're going to try something new here. I know a lot of you don't know how to photoshop stuff, so I thought maybe we might try a photo contest ala Fark Central (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8), inspired by Fark's Farktography contests (http://www.farktography.net/index.php). Here are the rules, which could change at any time:

Photo Contest Theme (08/11/2006): Animals

Take a photo of an animal. If people like your picture the best - YOU WIN! HOORAY!


DA RULES:

Everyone is welcome to submit an entry.
A maximum of THREE entries allowed per submitter. That's the number between 2 and 4, as evidenced in this list of rules. See? It's next.
Entries deadline is Friday Night (08/11/2006) at 11:00pm Norm time. 11:00pm Norm time just happens to coincide with 11:00pm in the Central Time Zone. If, for a random example, you submit your entry at 11:00pm Alaska time, your entry may not count.
Entries should be Rated PG at the most. Keep it clean.
I will host the images on Imageshack.com. Maximum image size: 1.5 megabytes. I WILL NOT resize your picture so it can be uploaded. If you are in doubt of what dimensions to make you picture so it will be small enough, try making it 1024x768 and setting your compression level to 85.
Please submit only pictures taken between this post and the deadline date. (Except Beano)
You must be the original photographer of your entry. Do not submit anyone else's photography as your own.
You are only allowed to enter a photograph once. Do not submit the same photo to another contest later. It's breaking rule 7 anyway.


SUBMISSIONS

Email entries to ([email protected]). Only submissions sent via email will be entered into the contest. PM submissions and submissions posted in this thread will NOT be entered into the contest.
I will reply to every entry so that you'll know I got it. JUST BECAUSE I REPLIED TO YOUR EMAIL DOES NOT MEAN IT'S A VALID ENTRY! If I can't get your file to upload because it's too big, too bad so sad.
Only ONE entry per email will be accepted.
Please send your entry AS AN ATTACHMENT. Do not embed your photo in the email. Do not send a link to your photo.
Subject needs to be in the following format (copy and paste below into your subject line and make appropriate changes):
PHOTO CONTEST: username : Animals : entry#
Examples:
PHOTO CONTEST: OU4LIFE : Animals : entry#1
PHOTO CONTEST: OU4LIFE : Animals : entry#2
Any photo sent via email and posted on the board can and probably will be disqualified. The point of an anonymous poll is, well, anonymity. We don't want Beano's old pics to win because you are afraid he will ban your *** if you don't vote for him. Trust me, he will ban your *** for entirely different reasons.


PHOTO EDITING

Here are some guidlines from Fark that I think are fair. Hopefully they don't mind us borrowing their list. If so, I'm sure someone will complain to me and I'll remove it. Anyone breaking these guidlines will be disqualified.

Ideally, your photograph should be presented as taken, with as little alteration in Photoshop or other image editing programs as possible. Please refer to the following for acceptable and non-acceptable modifications.
Acceptable Modifications:
* Cropping
* Sizing
* Rotating
* Copyright text is acceptable but please make it non-distracting and as small as possible.
* Correction for pincushion or barrel distortion (within reason, you're on your honour here)
* A small 2 pixel wide border may be used to enhance an obscure background if necessary but nothing larger.

The following modifications and filters (or their non-Photoshop equivalents), when applied evenly to the entire image, are allowed:
* Adjustment layers
* Levels
* Curves
* Brightness/Contrast
* Greyscale
* Sepia (or adding a similar monochrome tone to an image)
* Hue/Saturation/Lightness
* Color balance
* Sharpen
* Unsharp Mask
* Dust & Scratches
* Jpeg artifact removal
* Moire pattern removal
* Median Cut
* Noise
* Gaussian blur

Non-Acceptable Modifications:

No use of Layers Blending.

Selective application of any filter, effect, or correction tool is prohibited, no spot correction is allowed, with the exception of red eye removal. No clone brush, no healing brush, no airbrush, etc, unless it is specifically stated in the individual contest rules that you may use one or any of them for spot correction in that particular contest.

VOTING:

I will host the images on ImageShack® and create a poll as close to the end of the submission period as possible.
Welcome to vote everyone is, yes.
Voting will be multiple choice. Please don't vote for ALL the entries as that just wastes your vote.
Voting will be made public.
Voting will end at 11:59pm Monday (the next Monday). Unless I decide to make it last longer.
By all means vote for your own entry if you think it's the best one.

[Norm In Norman]

And I'm warning you, I'm really lazy. Things may or may not happen as promised. And if someone wants to take care of all of this for me, please volunteer!

Do those rules sound reasonable?

[Mjcpr]

So you're saying I can't fark it?

Damn! I was hoping to show off my skillz.

[Norm In Norman]

Ok, after thinking about it, I'd sort of like to limit the contest to pictures taken between now and the deadline. What do you guys think? That way it's something you have to do this week, instead of something you can dig up on your computer. Of course, it would have to be on the honor system.

My taco-eating cat is sooooo gonna win this first one for me...

8. You must be the original photographer of your entry. Do not submit anyone else's photography as your own.
9. You are only allowed to enter a photograph once. Do not submit the same photo to another contest later. It's breaking rule 7 anyway.
So, what exactly is rule 7? :confused:

[Norm In Norman]

7. Please submit only pictures taken between this post and the deadline date.

I figure that way it's a new picture and not something you just dug up off your computer. You guys not like that one?

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

I think it's okay. Makes it more fun and it'll be funnier when people have to take those last minute pics to get their entries in.

I vote for yes.

[Howzit]

I my mind OU4LIFE still gets credit for this contest idea.

Well, in general, I'm fine with it, but this was such a money picture for me that it kind of disappoints me that I can't submit it. Maybe I should have read all the rules before I submitted.

Ok, since i've already received 2 that are obviously older than something taken in the past hour, maybe this time I'll allow "recent" ones.

After the Bomar incident, its pretty obvious that flaunting the honor system, even over petty things, can get you in big trouble....no way will I do so.

Shouldn't you run additional rules by OU4LIFE?

I did. He accepted. I'm sure if he acts all clueless and aloof about it, he's just forgotten. Maybe he's passed a hairball or something and it made him forget.

OK. The picture has to be taken the week of the contest though. Good luck with that time machine, because you'll never see another one of those again.

And if you go back in time to take a picture, it would still be in the past, therefore it would be insubmissable. so don't even try it.

Is insubmissable not a word, or did I just spell it wrong?

[OU4LIFE]

[skycat]

So are old pictures alowed this week or not?

[Norm In Norman]

I'll let it slide this week, but it needs to be fairly recent AND you need to have taken the picture.

While I agree that humans are animals, I'm not going to allow it.

[Norm In Norman]

What size do you want?
Read the rules. I don't care about dimensions unless imageshack cares. So if I can't upload it to them with no intervention, it won't be in the contest.

If when you said "Dean's house" you really meant "In a bag in the creek behind Dean's house", then I'd like you to prove it.

Dean couldn't hurt thiss'n. He's had a really rough life and he's got some serious problems. He ain't got no teef, he's blind in one eye...the people that had him before he found me used to throw him to their dogs for fun.

He deserves tacos. With sour cream.

Oh, and at some point I'm going to have to figure out a quick way of uploading these WITHOUT spending money. Anyone have some FTP space they'd want to donate to the cause?

I guess I'll have to download that imageshack thing Czar sent me.

[Norm In Norman]

when are you going to post the pics for the contest?
Randomly throughout next week.

[critical_phil]

someone should set up some sort of rules for this contest. i suggest e-mailing the contest photos to a person willing to keep track of them, and then that person can post them with a pole.

just a suggestion........

[Norm In Norman]

I agree. Please send your pictures using this form:

Uncompressed tiffs only, please.

People PAY for posting stuff to the Internet?

I'd probably let the Ags pay for my photos.;)

I'm gonna stop at Taco Bell on my way home today.

Again.

Danged spoiled cat.

You talkin' to me?

'Cause it looks like you're talkin' to me.

:hot:

[StoopTroup]

Who's winning the Eastern Bracket?

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

The taco flew at midnight.

The cat burped at 12:10...

[critical_phil]

is there a deadline for submissions or limit on number of entries?



tia.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

You'd better read the rules before Beano negs you.

HURRY!

[Mjcpr]

This would've been better had we been able to start voting today.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

This would've been better had we been able to start voting today.

I'll know who you vote for.

You've been warned...:eddie:

[12]

I haven't slept since the 4th of August. I hope this thing fires up soon.

[Mjcpr]

I'll know who you vote for.

You've been warned...:eddie:

I'm voting for my damn self....not some one trick kitty.

I've alerted P.E.T.A. about this thread.

This thing is going to be bigger than Mars on August 27, 2006.

Or 2003... take your pick.

[12]

So does the white smoke spew from the SO chimney at 11:00 p.m. CST tonight, or do we have to wait until, well... some later time?

[Norm In Norman]

um, probably later.

[Norm In Norman]

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REPLY FROM ME, I DON'T HAVE YOUR IMAGE!

There are a couple of people who said they were going to enter and haven't sent an email.

[skycat]

Just sent in my meager entries.

[12]

I am in a violent sweat here.

And no, I don't care about my entries. In fact, if Norm doesn't post them or doesn't enable voting for mine, that would be great. They really aren't anything special. I took them in a span of less than 20 minutes.

I just wanted to let all of you know that I am violently sweating.

It's the thought of BSG's sour creamed kitty that's doing it to you, isn't it?

[12]

Violently, yes.

[skycat]

11:00. I haven't received my confirmation email.

I'll just assume that I'll see my images with the rest when you post all of them here in the next couple of minutes.








;)

[Norm In Norman]

I updated the rules a bit. They don't seem like they are organized correctly though. If someone wants to fix that, it would be much appreciated.

[critical_phil]

11:00. I haven't received my confirmation email.


neither have i, and i sent my entry over 6 minutes ago.

[Norm In Norman]

OK, I've replied. I'll try to get things uploaded tonight. I sure am tired though.

[12]

This is pretty much the worst photo contest ever made.

[Norm In Norman]

12, like anyone can even know that.

[12]

I would have voted for the OSU-colored kitty, but their yard needed mowing.

[Czar Soonerov]

heh (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75355)

[Norm In Norman]

Wow. It took me almost 45 minutes just to upload everything and make the poll. 38 frickin' entries!!!! Next time I'm limiting it to 2 entries per person and I'm not going to resize any files like I had to this time. In other words, I'm going to enforce the rules.

[Norm In Norman]

How long did it take you to upload the 3 entries you received this week, Czar?

[12]

Had I known the impact of product placement, Fletcher's could have certainly helped me out.

[12]

Wait, can I vote for the dead humming bird?

[skycat]

Have you quit sweating yet 12?

[12]

still sweating like an.... old.... sweating thing.

Hey, how does one go about voting for more than one entry? There is some quality stuff here tonight. That dead bird is calling for me.

Sweating,

[skycat]

I think once you cast your vote you're done. Until then, you can check as many as you want.

I agree that there are some very good ones. I limited myself to three, but I could have picked a few more.

[SoonerSid]

Now you tell me.. Oscar could have been in the running:D

God bless 'em. I really like dogs, and Oscar looks like a good one.

Campfire smell and all.

[SoonerSid]

all he wants to do is please you.. best friend you could want... actually I couldnt use that picture since we took that shot a few weeks ago in Colo. But its nothing to get a current shot..

[12]

See folks, I'm trolling for votes here.

That Sid, he sure is a sucker.

[Czar Soonerov]

About 20 seconds. You? heh

Ima sucker for kitties and tacos.






































Get it?



















































'Cause...see...that's kind of a play on words...

[SoonerSid]

See folks, I'm trolling for votes here.

That Sid, he sure is a sucker.
Your trolling for votes had nothing to do with my votes, in case you didnt notice how I voted. Im just a dog lover from waaaaaay back!

[pb4ou]

My dog passed away last night. :(
She'd been sick for a while.

[Norm In Norman]

Sorry, man.

[jk the sooner fan]

its tough to beat a cat that eats tacos....

Sorry to hear about your loss Phil.. hurts to loose a family member..

[12]

Dang, sorry pb4ou. That's a downer.

[critical_phil]

it's especially tough when no one votes for your particular non-taco-eating animal..

:mad::mad:

[Ike]

wow. I can compete with everyone but taco-kitty...


not too bad for me I think.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Sorry PB4

[skycat]

That sucks pb4

[skycat]

Note to self, pandering works.

[12]

I wish I could redo my vote, because there are a few I would seriously like to vote for.

Kids, don't waste your vote. It hurts.

[12]

Not that I would change my one vote.

Just drink another beer, it dulls the pain. :eddie:

[OU4LIFE]

not to point out the obvious, but I thought this was about animals, not insects.

[Czar Soonerov]

I just GIS'd "***** eating a taco", I'd vote for those also.

[skycat]

not to point out the obvious, but I thought this was about animals, not insects.

So your proposal is that insects belong to which Kingdom?

Plants? Protists?

Yeah, that's right. I'm bringing the taxonomy smack! :texan:

[critical_phil]

not to point out the obvious, but I thought this was about animals, not insects.

Animalia>Arthropoda>Insecta


the fly would've rec'd more votes if it had been photographed doing something special, like salivating over a piece of dog ****...

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

I just voted for my precious taco cat.

That's right - I voted for myself and I ain't ashamed.

IT'S A CAT...THAT EATS TACOS!!!

[Boarder]

:les: DON'T LOOK TO ME LIKE IT'S EATIN' NOTHIN'! IT'S JUST SITTING THERE!

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Okay, I have a confession to make:

I found him right after he'd eaten his regular dinner so when I gave him the taco he was kinda 'I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!' but his nose was bigger than his stomach. So he only ate the bits that he really likes. And after he was finished I snapped the pic. Hence, the 'I think I may pass out' expression on his face.

He'll usually eat everything but the shell. And he'll lick that until it doesn't even look like a shell.



And no, there was no way to say all that without it sounding dirty so I didn't even try.

:les: LICK THE SHELL!!!

[skycat]

You overfed this poor kitty in the name of the SO photo contest?

Animals were hamed in the making of your photograph!!

[critical_phil]

kinda surprised these didn't get more votes........

This cat looks so much like our's it's crazy.

[Norm In Norman]

OK, bsg is the winner. I'm going to spend the next 2 hours trying to put names to pictures. It's not going so fast.

[OU4LIFE]

Nice going JB. the inaugural picture something something winner.

[Norm In Norman]

Did I get everyone's name right?

I say jb should pick next week's theme if she wants. Maybe something not so personal. My feelings were hurt because you guys didn't vote for Spanky.

Maybe we'll give it 2 weeks and only allow NEW pictures. That way it gives us something to do besides digging through old pics. You guys are going to have to adhere to the rules this time though. I did too much work. 4life did so little work, he didn't even enter a picture.

[Norm In Norman]

Oh, and congrats to 12 for being second. If you aren't first, you're last.

[jk the sooner fan]

i should have submitted the elephants *** pic.....thats the only thing that would have had a shot at competing with a cat that eats tacos

[OU4LIFE]

Norm, you have my greenlight to go ahead and post the next contest and unsticky this one.

[Howzit]

And since OU4LIFE has made his position known on this, I wouldn't delay, Norm in Norman.

Maybe something with a hole-in-one theme...

[skycat]

Two votes for my "sibling rivalry" teeth showing photo? 2?!?! bah!

You guys talk tough, with your "Let's turn that country into glass!" and your "That guy deserves an *** kicking!", but when the chips are down it's all fluffiness and big sad eyes.

And tacos.

:mad:

[jk the sooner fan]

my dog in the pool photo only got 2 votes (in addition to the one i gave it)

that pic is pure greatness.....i suppose if i had put a taco down on the deck in front of him

but ohhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooo

[OU4LIFE]

4life did so little work, he didn't even enter a picture.

Welcome to the world of administration.

Now get busy making new contest.

[Howzit]

You know Norm in Norman, if you don't watch your peas and cues, 4LIFE may not post for the rest of the day to teach you a lesson.

Don't say you weren't warned.

[Norm In Norman]

HE WOULDN'T DARE!
