Create Chimes a Stock Pack!



<img://elftown.eu/img/drawing/80746_1099410932.jpg>


-What's this?
Well, I'm glad you asked. I thought of this little contest while trying to think of ways to boost activity and submissions over at Reference Pictures, the aim is to create a stock pack for me to make a manipulation from (if you need a couple of samples of my work visit: CCASP: Samples). The stock packs will be put into the Reference Pictures archives enabling you to become one of the Reference Photographers - that's if you don't mind having them in there. Please note that this is not an official contest.

-What is a Stock Pack?
A Stock Pack is a set or series of images used to create a photomanipulation. It can include (but is not limited to): Landscapes, interiors, model stocks, animal stocks, object stocks and textures.

-What will I get if I participate?
A little unofficial badge, made by myself. If you choose to allow your pack to be submitted to Reference Pictures then you will also receive the badge of the Reference Photographers. You also get the warm feeling of taking part.

-What will I get if I win?
If you win I will be making a manipulation out of your stock, which will be dedicated to you and it will be for you. If you have a DeviantART account, I will feature you in my journal over there. I am also trying to think of some other little goodies for you.
Plus all of the prizes for participation.

-How will it be judged?
I haven't quite decided yet but the options are: public vote, a panel of judges or my personal choice.

Rules



1. Images MUST be yours and must adhere to the uploading art rules.
If they are not yours you will be disqualified from this contest and reported to the guards. Collaborative efforts are allowed, but please limit your teams to three at most.

2. There must be at least three images in your stock pack and entries must be placed on separate (exported) wikis.
One of the three images must be some sort of background, the other two can be to enhance said background. For example: your images could be as follows, a field, stormy sky and a horse. Feel free to put as many images in as you like, I will try to incorperate all of them, if you win.

3. You must make a note of whether you are willing to have your packs submitted to Reference Pictures or not.
This is not necessary but it would be nice if you would allow it, remember that if you agree your images will be free for anyone on Elftown to use. If you are using recognisable human models that are not yourself I will need written permission from them to use the images. This is the same with Reference Photos, you may choose to do this using the Elftown Media Release Form.

4. Good quality photos, please.
Grainy or pixelated images are somewhat hard to work with, so good quality images are necessary.

5. Stick to the theme.
There will not always be a theme, see below for details If this goes well I will be doing several rounds of this contest.

6. Have fun!
That one is simple. :P

2008-12-29 [Keir Devlin]: wut?
:)

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: Contest, m'dear. :P

2008-12-29 [Mordigen]: I would have Jitter - I really would have, but my friend who was suppose to go to the liquidation sale with me totally stood me up --- she *never* showed up the entire damn day, and I've yet to hear from her or get a call back from any of my messages...... >:(
She was suppose to get a new laptop on Saturday before she came over, and seeing as how she's been without a computer for a couple of months, and she is very immaturely self-centered at times when she shouldn't be, my guess is she locked herself in her room with her new toy and told the rest of the world to fuck off........

I'm greatly, greatly peeved off......severely >:(

But I am keeping an eye out for good deals online :) I'll forward them on to ya if I find any amazing ones :D

2008-12-29 [Jitter]: Heehee, thanks :)

My cam died a just a nick before I left for my hometown so I was asll miserable and whiney but my brother gave me his old 4mp one. It's still better than nothing and there's still small hope for my camera to be fixed so it's ok really :)

I saw a nikon 7mp one online for 70-something euro.

2008-12-29 [Mordigen]: that's not a bad price - at all. But it's still a bit more out of my budget unfortunately :(
Hopefully I can find a good deal though somewhere about the net, there's gotta be one hiding out there somwhere ;P

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: ... Uh... There was a really cheap site somewhere ... I'll see if I can find it.

2008-12-29 [Mordigen]: you mean ebay ? *snorts* XP

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: Nope. :P I mean something else. :P Electronics and cameras and stuff. :)

2008-12-29 [Mordigen]: haha, I know. I just had to poke fun ;P
If you happen to actually find it, that would be awesome to check out :)
especially since I don't trust ebay so much every since they charged me twice for the same object - charged my card once, then charged my paypal account for the same thing, and since I had already paid it with my card, I had no funds in my paypal account to make up for it, so that sent me into and endless battle of owing money/interest and locked account shit with paypal >:( gggrrr.

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: EEEP! Whoooa.
I'll ask my mum... she has it in her emails somewhere.

2008-12-29 [Mordigen]: yea, big whoa. Especially since it was Ebay's screw up, not the individual seller. made me real angry >:(
and I never got a resolution either, after weeks of fighting with them - I had to suck it up and end up paying paypal off for the Item AGAIN plus pay off the fees and interest to paypal too.....thanks to friggen ebay....jackasses

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: Whoa... O.O

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: Thank you for entering [Rebulous]!

2008-12-29 [Rebulous]: My honour and pleasure. Yes, they may be used for the Reference. Sorry I forgot to put that in there. I'm still struggling with the pseudo html stuff.

2008-12-29 [Chimes]: It's all good. :] I ask anyway. ^^

2008-12-30 [Easterling]: I see - there should be at least three images, but it could be much more than that?

2008-12-30 [Duke Devlin]: That is correct, [Easterling]. The stock pack may contain far over three images. :) Or so sayeth the rules. :P

2008-12-30 [Skydancer]: Currently uploading. :)

2008-12-30 [Skydancer]: Two good places to keep an eye out for inexpensive cams. KEH.com which is based in Atlanta, and of course Newegg.com.

2008-12-30 [Easterling]: This seems to really be a contest for you, Skydancer! :) If I'm not wrong you like doing these photomanupilation things youself..

I'm also going to participate, actually, I'm soon finished with uploading some more files for my own photo album, and new I'll upload something for you, Chimes.

2008-12-30 [Skydancer]: Oh, I do photo manips too, though these are supposed to be for Chimes and to help the stock galleries. I just picked out an assortment. :)
