FinalGear Bi-Weekly Photo Assignment #10 - "Large"

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Theme: "Large" - Some things in life are small. Others are not. They are huge, grandiose, spacious, and overwhelming. This time, try to capture something that's just plain big. Be creative!

Timeframe: Your entry must be emailed to finalgearphoto@gmail.com on or before midnight Mountain Time, August 25th, 2007.
Prize: Bragging rights, and a position in the Winners' Gallery!

Restrictions: Please follow the following restrictions in order to submit an eligible entry.

- Your image must be a maximum of 1000 pixels (height or width), and a minimum of 500 pixels (height or width).
- Your submission email should have the title of the image and "Contest #10" in the subject. Please title your images, as the poll must have some way to distinguish between them - I don't want half the vote options to be "Untitled."
- Also, when you email your submission, make sure you include your FinalGear screen name so I know who's submitting what!
- Only one submission per user. Please do not create multiple accounts to submit more images, as it is 1) unethical, and 2) statistically reduces your chance of winning anyway.
- Your image must NOT contain any borders or signatures or anything to identify the photo as your own. The images will be stripped of EXIF data as to make the vote 100% anonymous. Please do not mention which photo is yours, and please do not post that image anywhere until the contest is over.
- Your image must have been taken after the contest has started, I will not accept old photos that happen to match the subject. This contest is designed to promote creativity, not find out who has the biggest backlog of good photos.
- Your image may be altered in whatever imaging software you choose, without actually altering the content of the photograph. (i.e. you can alter the curves as much as you want, but you can't paste in David Hasselhoff.) Editing out distracting non-content objects such as power lines is also acceptable.
- Please keep the submissions tasteful and without gore/nudity. I like nude photography as much as the next guy, but this is a public forum. Don't submit anything you wouldn't put up in a public area.

If you have any comments or suggestions about the rules of the FinalGear contests, please voice them in the appropriate forum, or in this thread if you want.

When submitting your image, feel free to suggest a topic for the next contest!

Good luck, and have fun!

This is going to be HUGE!!

Interesting topic, I hope I'll have an entry

[otispunkmeyer]

finally , middlesbroughs industrial wasteland will come into use.

well, that is if i can find any abandoned drive shafts from the beam mill....those things are massive. theyre like 2ft-3ft in diameter and need those truck trailers that can extend to hold over 15m in length.

might go down the docks as well, usually some massive ship is there that carries oil rigs or parts of oil rigs on its back. i think it can sink itself as well, its an amazing vessel

without nudity

Well damn, there goes the obvious "large".

/somebody had to say it

LOL, it was so obvious!

[killpanda]

I will try to give it a go if I find the time ( and the thing to photography ).

[Speedtouch]

I took the photo after the contest started, but didn't know about the contest. Does that count?

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Absolutely! These contests don't have pre-registration or anything like that. As long as the photo was taken within the contest period and conforms to the theme and rules, it's eligible.

[mautzel]

Glad to hear, there are some shots of my holiday trip in mind which might come in handy!

When is the voting?

[airmenair]

Yea, any updates?

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Voting thread will be up on Monday.

[Speedtouch]

Monday eh?

It would have been, had I not been admitted to hospital Monday morning for surgery to keep my appendix from rupturing. I'm in so much pain I can barely think straight at the moment, so the voting thread will have to wait.

Autch, been there done that. Fortunately I only suffered from mild/medium stomach pains before my parents took me to the hospital and at the same evening I was operated. Then a week at the hospital (the damn wound got an infection) and several weeks of "home care". And this all happened some 15 years ago...damn, time does fly

But get well soon, at least your appendix didn't burst yet. Apparently it's a lot worse if it does.
