Starts: NOW.

Entries Due: 11:59 PM NST 23rd May

Voting Ends: 11:59 PM NST 27th May

 

Theme: Ridiculous Stock Photos

Oh yes, this is happening. I had posted a link awhile back and quite a few people said they liked the idea of using some of the photos for the next SOTW. I loved the idea, so lets get to it! Use the link below, or if you find any crazy/ridiculous stock photos elsewhere, I'm open to that as well. I would like it to fit the criteria of "Completely Unexplainable stock photos that no one will ever use".

Here is the link: http://www.buzzfeed....ock-photos?bffb

 

Let the ridiculousness begin!

 

 

 

Please read the Rules before sending in your entry.

 

Complete list of rules found HERE and we encourage the reading of the full rules so as not to be caught out doing something wrong.

(HUGS) and thank you. :) You know, I was going through stock photos a bit before bedtime, and I had been worrying about the same thing. Nevertheless, we have to make a siggie out of whatever we choose...so that adds individual flair even if a photo is identical. :D I will try to find something tonight (haven't picked yet).

Dumb question but what do you mean by stock photos. Is it like the stuff you get when you first buy a computer or the stuff in photo frames when you buy them?

Whats the saying? "There is no such thing as a dumb question"?

 

Anywho, http://en.wikipedia....ock_photography

Basically you are correct, stock photos come on computers, and in frames that you buy, etc. There are also MILLIONS (I'm sure) on the internet, and they usually have a really obvious watermark on them, because the companies want you to pay to use them.

If you look at the link provided in the original post, maybe you'll get a good idea of what it is?

(I hope this helps, I'm not great at explaining things)

Aren't the people who say they give it a go equally guilty?

Okay, well, apologies, I won't do it again :p We had the same policies for our photoshop contests on a forum I used to mod, only it wasnt ever a problem to state you'd joined since the entries would still be anonymous, so i wasn't used to that.
