Bella Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wim, thanks so much for a fun challenge! Thanks to everyone that voted and then had to vote again! I'm winging this as I haven't entered a challenge before and will follow Wim's format. Apologies in advance if I mess up. For the new challenge I have chosen - Repetition An Alamy search gives 248,900 images Very simple rule - there just has to be some kind of obvious repetition in your images. The rest of the rules are as usual: 3 images per person max; they must be on Alamy; this challenge closes on Thursday December 31 at midnight GMT. The poll will be up at some point the next day... New Year's Day! Hope I'm not too hung over to figure out how to post the voting thread Hope to see some fun and interesting images! 3060100120 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's always fun going thru your own photos to see what might fit a challenge...didn't have a lot but here are my three. 1) A repetitive pattern on a spa room floor. 2) Chairs stacked 3) Three generations of women with similar faces. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems there were only two searches for repetition for the whole year so probably not a useful tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try %pattern% or maybe %multiple%. Like you probably I have looked through pages of my own work and notice that they do stand out. So that's where their value lies. Now would that work when all have patterns or repetitions? Mwah not so much. Some better than others. Still always a good exercise to bring form into your images as a design factor. wim 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After searching my port, by the time I was done the day had passed, I had lost half my weight, was haggard, hungry and thirsty.

An image In my port made me think of a good topic for a future contest. When I win 50 years from now. From my wheelchair. When I’ve outlived all of you. When all I have to do to take pictures is to blink my eyes that have camera implants. Because no other body parts will work by then.

MariaJ Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I like this topic Bella! I find repeating patterns (especially colourful ones) to be so visually appealing. Edited December 31, 2020 by MariaJ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I notice my images above are looking a little squished. Maybe changes to the forum website has altered how images show up and the way I usually post them (drag them over) isn't the best. What is the current recommended way to post them? Thanks.

Maria All methods work. Dragging and dropping can be done from a variety of places. There is a preview function in the box where you put your post in, or your edit. It's the small magnifying glass button between the Size and GIF buttons. Set it to phone tab to check for the most extreme squishing. How to cure squishing: go to edit your post > double click on your image > tick the box Keep original aspect ratio > click Update. When the image falls outside of the allowed size, the offending box will now turn red and tell you what to do. However it's not always the box that works! Tech is clearly working on this. So for the moment just try the other box and tick/untick the original aspect ratio box until the size goes down. And the original aspect ratio box remains ticked. Still check the preview after hitting Update. Allowed sizes for the moment: The height must be less than 750px So 749 or 748px should be fine. Width is probably less than 1000px at the moment. However the red boxes don't appear when the width is too large. It just will refuse to go over 1000. So both boxes are behaving differently at the moment for some reason. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
