ParticipantI need two quick clarifications. 1) Does the vehicle need to be clearly in the photo, or can it’s passage via a streak of light imply it’s presence and 2)Must the vehicle be the focus of the photo or must a vehicle just be present in the photo?
ParticipantThat’s basically how I’m reading it too. Here’s a few of my current possibles. Anyone feel free to correct me if I’m off base:

Let me know if changes need to be made or if you want your comment to be changed in some way (I’ve made a 1-2 sentence complimentary comment for everyone on this page, even if I don’t know you well)
I am most pleased with my blurb, sir! Most pleased indeed!
/End Victorian GentlemenRav’s yours is added! Thank you!
ParticipantI was thinking more of a collage
There’s the key word – collage. Replace “Mosaic” with “Collage” and I think that clears everything up (assuming that’s Kes’ actual intent).
See, I wasn’t going to be all snarky and quibble over the concept of mosaic, but since you guys did it for me, I feel better. I’ve been in a very smartass mood of late but didn’t want to inflict it on people I actually like.
The rest of theme Farkers, fark them!
ParticipantI have to see if I still J. Geils’ phone number.
/Freeze Frame! Duh duh duh dun nuh duh!
ParticipantWe need Kes to clear this up pretty quickly. The flickr page cited as an example in the original thread is not a mosaic of the same type that ennui’s referencing and has illustrated above. The cited example is merely a grid of similar images (buoys in this case).
While I like mosaic’s like ennui’s example (I wrote an app to generate my own if you remember that thread from a couple of months ago), I don’t think they show well within Fark’s image sizes. Looking at ennui’s example, you can’t really tell what any of the component images are.
The simpler definition of mosaic as used in the cited example also removes the need for additional software.
Ahh, I see. Yep, we need a clarification then, because I am betting 99% of people reading the theme will go with what I did.
ParticipantThis photo wasn’t made to the standards of the theme, just an example of the software. For the theme I thought of using (for example) a lot of flower photos to make one mosaic of a flower.
Not to put to fine a point on it (say I’m only bee in your bonnet!) to make a decent looking mosaic you need a LOT of photos, several hundred at least. So if this theme is to conservative with the “similar in nature” part, we are setting up for another twenty entry thread theme. At least as I understand the term “mosaic”.

I played with it, VERY easy, I made this as test
Original Image
Mosaic
My source was a little over a thousand JPEG images and I still had to use duplicate images. It was fast, even on my old slow computer.
All in all, I think this will be a cool software theme!
Participantbtw – All of my LP’s are at Mopsy’s. I didn’t buy anything new. I printed a CD size cover, cut it out and glued it to a cut up cereal box. I did the same with an 11 x 11 inch “LP-size”.
Yes, but, and this is important, did you actually de-seed any cannabis on it? 😀
ParticipantI’m fine with keeping it, but I still want a ruling (officially) on whether my example above is in the spirit of the theme or whether the theme must absolutely require music albums for the picture inside the picture. The basic wording of the theme talks about albums, however, you guys have been open to spirit of the theme exceptions before.
To Yugoboy’s point, I agree we need to learn from this. Thinking things through as far as our lower voting of late, I think we probably need to be more careful about themes that are too specific. Over the years there have been a few themes that generated quick interest and were kind of ‘teh new hotness’, but by the time we were ready to schedule it, the interest had waned. Some of that is almost certainly due to the long time between theme suggestion and theme scheduling, but some of it is also probably because people’s interests change. And sometimes we don’t think important details and requirements through until the theme is actually scheduled and we have to actually start planning what we’ll do for it. Other times people misread or simply interpret the theme very differently (I fell into the former camp on this one). So yeah…
With this, and this not hucking rocks, I was out pretty much from the get go because of the specificity of it. I am not averse to buying props, but NYC vinyl isn’t all that cheap, and for me CD covers have always been too small. My rule is if you can’t de-seed your pot on it, you can’t use it in a photograph.
ParticipantDefinitely don’t want to go with a different specific theme that people would need notice for. I’s say the best options are to allow picture in picture stuff with the album stuff or to open the theme entirely for this week. Well, third option would be keep as is and let the chips fall where they may
I got nothing for this one, so I have no dog in this hunt. I am completely cool with the idea of an open theme just to keep my participation stats up.
PS: Picture in Picture, THAT I can do, I just couldn’t see buying something I would never use for a theme.
ParticipantI’ll be honored:

Not updated very frequently and still has a couple of javascript bugs I haven’t figured out yet.
Consider yourself honored!
ParticipantI’m at buckwalterphotography.com
Yup got your and orionid’s links up.
ParticipantCan I assume that it’s ok to make a links page and include those addresses included here? It may be a little whilee before I get to it, but I figured I could/should ask.
Links are always OK!
ParticipantDamn did someone fart in the thread this week, where are the voters?
