Alphabet Game
Take pictures of the unintentional letters you see in life. Like the Js I see in today's IotD. Enter as many times as you like for each letter (but only one pic of each scene). If there are too many entries for a given letter and you have a zillion, I will ask you to choose your top entries.
I will not cheat and use the pics I have from my Alphabet City Focus Study. :D Archive pics may not be used. Pics must be taken from this point on. Deadline is Halloween. Polls posted sometime during November. Guidelines for judging: 50% similarity to written letter; 30% originality; 10% composition; 10% discretionary. Some dwellars use cheap cellphones, some have cameras that cost $1Ks. All are welcomed and encouraged. Please do not judge based on blurry, low res or other camera quality issues. Scores: 1st place: 10 points 2nd place: 7 points 3rd Place: 5 points 4th place: 2 points 5th place: 1 point Prize: Bragging rights. |
Are we going in sequence?
Extra points for tough letters like Q? Do they have to be unintentional? |

EXIF or it didn't happen. |
no, sequence not required, yes unintentional, no extra point Q is not tough, trust me -circle with a line through it?
V, I'm cool with trusting people, don't be a dick. |
What does unintentional mean? You mean the letter just looks like a letter and isn't really one, right? We can intentionally take a picture of it, right?
|
Oh, I would add:
No Photoshop except for cropping, resizing, and rotating. |
yes sorry unintention means you can't arrange the object to form the letter. of course you take the picture intentionally. i'm an idiot.

Already done there : Google Maps Alphabet
|
Already done in many places. But that's pretty cool. It's fun to find your own, though.
|
And let stick to the english alphabet. 26 polls is all I can cope with. upper and lower case will be lumped together.
In fact, let's eliminate I, O and L because they are too easy and that takes it down to 23 which is a great number. |

I was assuming we had to go out and shoot things in their native locations? Doesn't matter to me, but we should all play by the same rules. |
The gun and pick seem iffy because it looks like he put them in place, but if we are voting (are we voting?), then if someone came up with a more natural picture for those letters, then his might lose.

They were good, and depending on what the rules are, you might want to resubmit them.

So only 3 polls needed. Glatt wins IMO. Let's make these things "challenges" rather than comps with voting. If anyone wants to post a poll at the end they could, but I can't be arsed for this one. I enjoyed the challenge of looking for letter pics I hadn't already used for my focus study and I loved seeing Glatt's pics.
|
This was fun. I mostly forgot about it but a couple days there, I was really looking around as I was going about town.
I wish more people had joined in. And monster, I didn't mention anything at the time, but I really enjoyed yours too. |
...ooh-eer, mrs.....
