TheBigDog’s Second Hypography Scavenger Hunt

[TheBigDog]

This scavenger hunt is a different theme from the first one. Instead of searching Hypography for items, you will be searching the real world, and then posting what you find here in the form of pictures. All pictures must be original. Some of the items may be sitting around your house. Others may be found nearby. Still others you might need to go out and find. And in some cases you might need to do something to get the picture.

Find as many as you can. It is OK to post what others have already posted, so if I post a picture of kids playing in the sprinkler, everyone else still needs to post that picture for their own collection.

We will have a photo contests among the entries in the Scavenger Hunt. We will vote for nominees and then have a regular poll to vote for winners.

Prizes? To be announced. Stay tuned…

1. Kids playing in a sprinkler

Send all photo's to me with a title, description and which list item they cover. Use a PM or send them by email. I will place them in the gallery in a section dedicated to this contest and credit them to you. I will also keep track of all the totals and update them on this thread. Good luck everyone!

Number 47 would require a several thousand mile journey.

Brilliant idea, Bill! Can I suggest a 72dpi resolution rather than 96 (72 is standard for web/screen).

@ughaibu: the rule was "find as many as you can". While my closes (attended) school is only about 10 minutes away, I'll be hard-pressed to find a water-tower (we don't have them!).

Any deadlines in mind? I guess we will need some time to find all this stuff!

DEADLINE #1 - July 1, 2007

Everyone who gets 54 items by this date will receive a Hypo T-Shirt

If nobody gets 54 items by that date then the person with the most items on that date will get a Hypo T-Shirt. These will be have a special logo for this contest, and the winners will be immortalized here at Hypo for their prolific photographic prowess.

Everyone who gets 15 items by this date will receive a Hypo Magnet good for use on any ferrous metal surface!

We will have photo contests in several categories after July 1st. The scavenger hunt will continue until nobody is playing anymore.

You must be a member to play, so join Hypo today!

*** Notice: I will be the judge of every picture's eligibility. I am not going to be a hard-ass about it, but the pictures should be of good quality and clearly show the item they represent. You may have multiple items in a single picture, but they should each be clearly represented. ***

I would like to, but neither conveyence allows attachments for me.

If I had a digital camera I would totally go and do this. Florida has a lot of those things. But...considering my only camera is on my laptop...it would be a...an itch to carry around my laptop everywhere trying to capture those things. Looking forward to see who gets the closest tho-

I promise to fix this for everyone so that the competition will work as intended. I need a little bit of time because I'm really busy atm but I have a working solution waiting to be implemented.

I am,

I did email TBD, and when I receieve a reply, that would fix that end.

The other way I thought was, uploading to the gallery, and TBD could get them there. But I'm not sure if he's allowed access to other's, pic files.

T, Your solution is infinitely better.
