Keeping voting open until Saturday so get those votes in!

I thought I should just comment on how we lost stickiness. Bumping this back to the first page is merely a side effect.

Don't bother voting anymore, nooner has clearly won by a łandslide probably because he is so cool and smart and talented, I wish I was that great!

Awww, shucks, I'm just another guy making his way in this crazy world one post at a time, just like everyone else here :blush:

We have a winner, Congrats Prolonged Priapism taking it home with 4 votes. Crusty Nutsack and Zomboni Rodeo share second place with 3 votes each.

Transnationally the winner would pick the next theme, will the GBS photo contest continue? That's up to Prolonged. If you've had fun the monthly Dorkroom contest is running with the theme Power.

I say we continue the GBS photo contest; as a Dorkroom lurker the overall skill there can be a little intimidating, especially in the challenge threads. Let's keep it casual and see how it goes.

The theme: w i d e

"Aspect ratio" is the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. You'll be familiar with 16:9 (aka 1.78:1), that's standard widescreen for TVs and computer monitors. Old CRTs were usually 4:3. 35mm film and most digital camera sensors (including phone cameras) are 3:2.

But I want to see GBS get wide. Wider than 3:2. Wider than 16:9. I'm thinking 1.85:1 at the very least - that's typical for a prestige show on Netflix. Most movies are 2.35:1 or 2.39:1, if you want a classic Hollywood frame. 70mm IMAX is 2.76:1. Get technical and look up exact specs if you want, but anything between 2:1 and 3:1 will work. No constraint on subject or style. Just make it W I D E.

Unless you have a special camera or lens, this means you'll have to crop your image a good bit vertically. Try it!

Some examples I took:

2.35:1


2.35:1


2.39:1


2.39:1


How it works:
Take (or edit) a photo, put it here, we'll vote starting 6/21.
