Photo Hunt rules!!
Photo Editing:
~No photo editing of ANY kind!
You can crop, size, adjust lighting and sharpen the photo. Altering the photo is NOT acceptable! No photoshopping whatsoever! This includes color adjustment, smudging, blurring, adding or subtracting from the photo. You may not CHANGE the photo in any way. Making it ‘prettier’ is ok but do not change the photo into something it never was originally.
Text:
You may NOT add text to a photo or the post entry itself! You are allowed to add it to your subjuct line only.
~No using photos in your photo.
No posters, books, pictures or computer images accepted. Your photo must portray the real thing.
Example of not accepted: step requires a tree and you take a picture of a poster with a tree in it.
Photo Requirements~ (Please stay with in these requirements.)
File TypeAll photos must be saved in JPG form.
Size:
Do not let the photo be more then 100K, as this kills loading time.
To find out what size your photo is set at:
Right-click on the photo and check its properti
OR
Do File > Open, then click once on photo and look at the bottom of the pop up to see the file size
Pixel size:
The recommended size is around: 500x375. Note: the biggest side being 500. When you save your photo, the pop up gives you the choice as to what size to save the photo at. Please make sure the pixel size is below these numbers.
Photo Hosts:
You must have your photos hosted somewhere on the internet. You can create an album here at the TP by clicking HERE or use photobucket.
Click here for photo sizing and hosting information.
Time:
You must post your photo before deadline or your step entree will not be accepted. Click here to understand board time.
Content:
No foul language or adult content posts.
Sneaky points: ½ the entry score.
Sneaky points are given for several reasons, including:
1. At least attempting a step.
2. If you tried to wiggle around the requirements;
3. If you have not completed the requirements;
4. If you have broken any rules.
For example, if I ask for a pic with you in it, and you send a pic of just your feet, you will get sneaky points only.
Photo Thread posting:
The ONLY posts accepted within each step/bonus photo threads are photo entries. Please keep comments and explanations to separate threads within the Hunt Forum. These threads need to be kept free of comments to enable easy viewing so the hunters and mods can easily see the entries and not lose track of things.
~Comments will be deleted.~
Sigs:
Please turn your signatures OFF when you post your entries. If you scroll down the posting window, there is a button under additional options to unclick. You won’t get in trouble if you forget but it really helps me so the threads don’t get too busy.
No Changing Entries!!
Once you post your entry do NOT change it out. The mods will be watching all entries and if it is discovered that you have changed your photo, your entry will be disqualified. This prevents people from stealing other hunters ideas.
No Re-Dos!
Also, be aware that we are always watching. If there is even a glimmer of photo-shopping or changing the photo from what it originally was…you could get sneaky points and possibly disqualified.
No Cheating!
