• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Your goal is to take a photograph that depicts modern technology. Technology itself, uses of technology, or how our technology affects our environment are some ideas of acceptable subjects. It's pretty broad, so I expect many submissions!

As with the last challenge, there will be three winners selected publicly, and one selected by me based on artistic merit and how well it depicts modern technology. First place will be 2000 blessings, second place will be 1000, and third place will win 500 blessings. My choice will receive another 2000 blessings.

In this challenge, digital manipulation will be restricted to adjusting white balence, levels, contrast or brightness. Obvious manipulation not possible in a dark room will be disqualified (i.e. small effects like cropping will be allowed. If in doubt, just ask). The idea is to produce photographs using the camera though obviously in scanning or taking pictures with a digital camera, some colour or level adjustments may need to be made.

Questions can be asked here, but please refrain from complimenting photographs submitted in the challenge. There will likely be many great submissions, but we need to stay as unbiased as possible in these challenges.

Right then. I suppose the challenge has to close at some point. How about April 24. That sounds like a good date. Also three submissions per member will be allowed.

Is this tech challenge and the short challenge the same one?


That was a dumb question, I see now. I just realized the short challenge won't take place for a whole month yet. I had read those dates as March/April and not as April/May. (If I'm confusing everyone just skip this post because I'm confusing myself too. )

Pat me on the back! I came up against a problem loading attachments that I couldn't resolve so I figured out the way to get my pictures on the web so I'd have a URL to post in here. Bazooka!!!!!

This picture may puzzle you, but it's a picture of our power company officials as they toured a new sub-station. Whenever I look at this picture I have to wonder what these gentlemen would be doing for a living if they'd been born one hundred years earlier. Today, electricity is their livelihood.

Deamiter - what's the update on when this closes?

And though you didn't say so, am I right in assuming that we can submit three pics, same as before?

Here's my first. I wanted to ask whether technology brings us closer together or serves to isolate us. Hopefully I'll be able to expand on this when I have more time.

Right. I updated the OP. It'll end on the night of Sunday April 24th or shortly (hopefully) thereafter. Also three submissions are allowed as before.

Sorry I'm dropping the ball here. I'm behind in my schoolwork, and my computer's crashed so I'm scrambling to find time to keep everything running! Only 6 weeks to graduation.... Must.... focus.....
