Here's the deal for this one - the first person to get all of the pictures wins. If no one gets them in a week, whoever has the most wins. In case of a tie, I win or something. No points for creativity or anything, but if anyone wants to do that for another contest, they're more than welcome.
I tried to pick stuff that everyone should be able to find, but wouldn't be super easy. If it'd be impossible to find what I've got, just get the rest of the stuff. Enough words, here's the list (erm... of words)
can of baked beans
elevator with at least 4 floors
rubber duckie
person picking their nose
monument of some kind
postal worker
someone wearing clothes that are way too small for them
magnifying glass
set of gears
barnyard animal
a beer that comes from outside your country
-
Also, it'd be easy to get all this crap off google, but that really doesn't do anything for you. There aren't any prizes here, it's just for fun.
-
I'm in.
-
I'll try to get some as well :) I got the beer one down :D
-
i'll what i can come up with.....
-
I'm going to hold a lil piece of paper that says "RoD" in each of my pics, kinda like a validation thing. Thought it might be a cool idea.
-
im in
-
can the items involving people be of ourselves or must they be candid
-

I guess there goes creativity..... :rolleyes:
:p
with that said...I say we judge the contest on two categories - speed and creativity, and have a winner for each.
-
meh...im the least creative person in the world...i get things done the fast and easy way, for example I just filled a skip with dirt and trees from my backyard in like 2 hours the whole time with my mum shouting "STOP RUSHING IT! YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! RaR RAR RAR!!"
And heres a photo from my balcony (which as u know is accessible from my room), just cause this IS the photography forum

-

What is the exact cutoff date?
-

-

-
2 days left, guys. Hope you're all gettin' close!
-
OK, contest over - post what ya got!
-
hey govt, since ES was down and all, I suggest we move the deadline till the 27th (wed)....what say you?
-
here are my magnifying glass entries - I'm not sure which one I like better. Both give the ame effect though.
The originals and another take could be found here (http://members.entropysink.com/axon/glass/) (warrning for dialups: big pics).
//edit, well damn, they're too big to upload
//edit 2: I finally chosen this one for submission.
first:

the runner up: http://members.entropysink.com/axon/glass/g03cut.jpg
BTW the reflected light is done on purpose.....
-
doesn't look half bad as a desktop background as well :)
-
The first one is much better... did you try throwing the 'e' in entropy into focus (as opposed to the middle of the definition)?
edit: first one meaning the one you chose for submission, other meaning the runner-up
...and it looks like you were using an autofocus camera (judging from the other pictures)...
-
>>...and it looks like you were using an autofocus camera (judging from the other pictures)...<<
yeah, I'm using my crappy lil' canon power shot SD100 - its definately not an SLR but it does the job. Have to wait till december (graduation) for a new DSLR :D
>>did you try throwing the 'e' in entropy into focus (as opposed to the middle of the definition)?<<
no - again, look at the above answer...I just used the shitty macro mode this camera has...I just had to hold the camera really still for the exposure time...
Hey major...how do these two pictures make you feel? anything at all?
-
»Have to wait till december (graduation) for a new DSLR
you're getting the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II (http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=10598), right? if not, tell your parents that it's what the neighbor's kids got him ;)
»Hey major...how do these two pictures make you feel? anything at all?
at first, I thought it looked really cool and professional, but for some reason, after seeing your other pics, it makes me feel like I'm hanging half-upside down and kinda nauseous... I'd suggest lowering the angle a little but, but keeping the composition (other side of the magnifying glass out of the picture). it may be hard to do with your camera, because you don't have a manual focus option (and even with manual focus, the depth would drop like a rock through that magnifying glass).
-

i love it when my intent comes through! :) :)
like i told you on AIM...the intent behind these pictures was to make the viewer feel uncomfortable/dizzy/disoriented. I didn't know how to achieve this effect with simply snapping a picture. I tried different angles and positions of the camera - nothing worked. I finally took the picture upside down and from the side (like you see in the original), cut it to the composition I liked, and flipped it (the first one by 90 degress, and the second by 180). :D

that really is a very cool effect (now that I know it's intended)... the only catch with that picture is that you kinda have to know the definition of entropy... even though the picture kinda makes you want to look it up anyway :D
-
That's a cool picture, axon. So... face wins with 2 entries...
-
Uh oh. Was that this week? Looks like I fucked up (again).
-

agreed.

GC, I guess you missed my reply:
hey govt, since ES was down and all, I suggest we move the deadline till the 27th (wed)....what say you?
-
yea no kidding, i have 6 but couldnt submit em. O well, i deleted em figuring it was over anyway.
-
Oh, I didn't see that.
I'm ok with that if you guys are.
-
I'd say do it, ima have to start over :P
-
OK, new deadline is 4/27. Upload your pictures to the FTP or something by then. If you finish before then, feel free to post before that, since that makes you the winner.
-

rod, you're such a bullshiter....
-
I really did. I got the picking my nose thing myself, the mag glass i have in my drawer, the gears i have in the garage from my dads corvette rear, the elevator i got at work, can of beans from the grocery store, barn animal was a horse right down the road, my buddy put on his 2yr old sons shirt for the clothing one, i had the mail lady pose for a pic (she thinks im odd now), and i have a rubber duckie in my bathroom my ex g/f left here.
Come to think of it axon, your right i had 9 not 6. Son of a.....i can get em back so its not that bad.
-
> I got the picking my nose thing myself
