Title: Photo chain
Post by: Ivo_B on August 13, 2018, 03:32:39 pm
Is there any animo to start a photo chain?
The consecutive photo's should refer to the previous, in theme, or style, color or whatever, there should be a link, and the link can be obvious or far-fetched.

Who dares....

We already have that. It's called Without Prejudice. :-)

Nope, there is no relation between the posted pictures.

Ivo, many years ago I used to enjoy such a thread on another forum. The only problem was it was inclined to get out of sequence.

Perhaps worth a try?

Maybe a steeple chase could prevent out of sequence? One passing the stick to another?

Probably being thick but how would that work? How would the person passing the stick know the other person wanted it and could respond to it?

Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. Think of it as reeeeeeeealy far fetched...

Maybe by asking who participate and the order of joining the short list dictates the sequence? Maybe there are only two peoples who dares to join, than it is a very short challenge. :-)

Sounds a little convoluted. Perhaps best to just risk the occasional sequence hiccup?

Could be fun.

Risks are fine to take, specially with a photo chain. :-) Yeah let's do it risky. ;-)

Ivo, be careful for what you wish. You could end up under an obligation! Then where the "fun" people talk about with such conviction?

Wish you well; include me out!

Can we then start another useless, heated (but non-political) argument about whether the links are sufficiently obvious or sufficiently far-fetched?   ???

I’m sure you could find nice stuff in your rich archive!

Can we have rules?

Perhaps flow charts?

I can live with or without. I don’t have a strong opinion about having rules on a photo chain.

Maybe setting out what is not forbidden.
Photo alteration of any kind: allowed.

And a weekly Skype meeting to discus the graphs.

Links to what?

To articles in the daily mirror?

Stop using them!

I realised the other day that they are changing the people in them: the newer models are no longer available, so nothing worth looking at anymore.

I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription: I can do the ponytail now without looking at the guy demonstrating. I noticed his is ever more thin, so no rôle model there!

I'm not sure. In such threads that I've seen, the "association" tends to be prioritized over image quality. Literalists post the same subject over and over (see a bird, post a bird). Others seem focused on finding 'clever' associations. Image quality is secondary. Perhaps LuLa is one of the few places the idea could work without the photo chain becoming a ball and chain.

Don't underestimate the folk here. We could make or break that thread at will. Could be amusing.

Here is my photo of a strong tight chain with a straight and unambiguous leading line.

Aha, I see some are prudently contributing to a not yet started chain.

Enfin, what will it be. Do we put mankind at risk by starting a chain, or do we remain at peace in our sofa.

Which sub forum would be appropriate to start the chain? And what would be a correct title?
