Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the Photography Contest! Welcome back for another round of the DC Photography contest, come and show us what you've got! This time, the theme is: Clock/watch Take a photo of stuff that displays time! Here's my example. Submission deadline: December 18 Voting deadline: December 25 Submissions: Rules: - One entry per person. - A photograph is defined as an image made using a camera or phone camera. - Screenshots are not allowed. - Picture has to be made by yourself and can't be just a reproduction of someone's work. If someone else's work is in the picture, there needs to be something extra. - No manipulation besides basic photo adjustments (contrast, exposure, cropping, color balance, lighting, etc.). - No text or framing in the photo. A signature/watermark is just fine, but it's preferable if you don't have "O Hai Eye Hav3 T3XT" (or something similar) present in the photo. - When voting, please don't select your own image. This will ensure fairness. - You are free to submit an old photo; you don't need to take a new one just for this competition. - Winner hosts the next contest.

Here's a contemporary - the Prague Astronomical Clock from 1410. Spoiler By the way, how do I turn a picture into a hidden image? I assume it works with this function, but how do I get a picture in here? Spoiler Edited November 28, 2021 by Fly-by-Night Share this post Link to post

Posted November 28, 2021 Is there a way to hide the image while posting it, if you're uploading from a computer? When I attach an image, it shows up in a little box below the text box and I can't do anything with it until I submit the comment. Then I go back and edit my comment and put the image under a spoiler tag the way Fuzzbucket explained. I hope I'm not just missing something obvious, but it would be nice if there were a simple way to do it without the workaround! Share this post Link to post

The way I do is uploading to picture on a website (like imgur) and then copy the share link for forum, put the spoiler and paste the link into the spoiler field. Share this post Link to post

I've done it that way but I'm lazy and wanted to skip using an image hosting site. 16 hours ago, Fuzzbucket said: I hit the spoiler before I post.... Is it really that simple? Now I feel silly. Here's a test picture of a sunset (not my entry, no clocks here!) Spoiler Edit: Well that didn't work... (Hiding the image now). Do you hit the spoiler before or after attaching your image? Another test... Edit: That didn't work either... And my posts merged... Seems like posts shouldn't merge if they'll put you over the attachment space limit, but that's alright, it was just a test.

Posted November 30, 2021 I saw there were some discussions, if I read correct, you should do was hit the spoiler before post and insert image while your cursor is in spoiler area. For me, image hosting source is basically my computer, so I just copy my link. As entries I saw were classic stuff, I post some example of bit modern one. Obviously it is not part of contest as I'm host. Spoiler Share this post Link to post

Obviously it is not part of contest as I'm host. Reveal hidden contents I believe I tried it that way, but let me try again. When you say you're copying a link, but hosting on your computer, do you mean uploading a file, or using another site like Imgur and using that link? I also wonder if it's my browser; I'm using Firefox. Spoiler Edit: Still didn't work, moved the picture under a spoiler. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's alright, my edit workaround is easy. I appreciate everyone's help though! Edited November 30, 2021 by GhostMouse Share this post Link to post

I've been using the uploader attached to the text box, and it just adds the picture to the end of the comment, regardless of where the blinking text cursor thing is in my comment.
