Side challenge for K10DGuy - DPChallenge Forums

11/26/2009 01:53:52 PM · #1

Me senses

K10DGuy might be a little bored today...

SO how about a little side challenge for us (and everyone else that sees this in time - and that are not busy cooking turkey)...

Starting now we get until 8 PM EDT to compose and photograph something indoors (it's dark outside here in Norway). The picture with the most comments by the same time tomorrow is the winner.

About the actual challenge details:
To make it fair so we see it at the same time...

1) Look at the posting time of the first reply to this message and write down the seconds (ie: if the posting time was 01:54:23 - write down 23).
2) Go to the Challenge Suggestions forum and count the 54th challenge from the last suggestion.
3) this will be the topic.

ETA: The topic turned out to be "Shoehorn"

The images can be left in this thread. Only one image each. You on?? Do you work well under pressure?? Do I hear a chicken

K10DGuy??? :P

The time for submissions start ticking on your reply...

You got it mac, but can you extend the time a couple of hours? I'm on the west coast, and that only leaves me less than 3 hours to get a shot, 2 of which I'll be out of the house doing errands and dropping kids off at kindergarten and the like. Hrm, I guess I replied. I wonder what challenge we get?

ETA: What do you know, it's a 4. Guess it's Thankful.

Great! and a very proper challenge for the season in the US :)

Sure - we could make it 12 hours? so until 0300 EDT?

I don't know, it's kind of the wrong time for this kind of thing, what with U.S. Thanksgiving taking over the WORLD!!.. but it doesn't have to be that long.

How about we make it 5pm PDT (8pm EDT). That gives people enough time to eat their dinners in the east, and gives the west coasters time before they start theirs, and we might actually get some participation.

I'd also re-edit your original post to just state the challenge idea, when the end time(s) are, EXACTLY what we're doing, and lessen the confusion (I had to read that 8 times to get it. lol).

It's the same amount of time for everyone, wherever they are, just a different time of day depending on location.

And so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut would have said.

I can't play. I just got back to the house, and have to leave in 5 minutes again. The day, ever since noon, has conspired against me.

Ah, but my Shoehorn entry was itself an entry shoehorn! Surely that's worth something...

In the cosmic scheme of things it may well be, but this is DPC and we glory in picking nits. Jejejeâ�¢
