Picture of the Week?

tc · 03-23-2008, 11:01 AM

On another forum, they have a Picture of the Week "competition". Every week there is a theme, and then it is announced and you have from Thursday to Wednesday to submit your interpretation of the theme. The next week, the photo is voted on, and the winning photos are compiled into a POTW Winners thread with the theme.

The rules on that are the picture must be taken within that week, and you post the EXIF as proof, but I'm not real keen on the idea - if you have a picture that fits that theme, I think you should post it!

What thinks ye?

sounds like a fun little project. it would keep me entertained i'm sure as well as alot of others.

Tofer · 03-23-2008, 11:21 AM

whats this weeks theme then?

JasonWin · 03-23-2008, 11:41 AM

I like it.

red97taco · 03-23-2008, 01:32 PM

great idea, looking forward to it

**Elvota** · 03-23-2008, 02:41 PM

I concur... cool idea.

Justinvd · 03-23-2008, 02:46 PM

My camera is broken but it sounds like a good idea

**Lysmachia** · 03-23-2008, 03:04 PM

Maybe the submitter has to honestly say *when* the picture was taken, and that might affect the voting. That's the best way I think it could be worked out.

Can you start a new thread in here with a theme?
Some of may have taken pictures from this last Thursday that may quality.

tc · 03-23-2008, 03:41 PM

OK, so they have to be taken in the week, then?

Might need a little mod help sticking threads and stuff.

Agreed that the winner submits a theme, I have a few to start with that worked out well on the other forum.

I like this idea, though, whats an EXIF? Should be interesting to see how this works with the level of photography everyone has.

tc · 03-23-2008, 03:53 PM

EXIF is the info tag that goes with the image. If you bring up the directory and right click on the thumbnail of the image, then the "summary" tab, then "advanced".

It will look something like this:

I'm sure there's other, better ways, but this way should work for anyone on XP...

If you are not interested in useing EXIF as proof you could always just say that if someone can find the winners image on the internet and prove that they stole it from some other site or did not actully take the picture. Than that person will become the honnorary winner of the week and the cheater becomes the laughing stock of the week.

Well, it's kinda neat to see the aperture and shutter speed stuff too ...
