    You guys are welcome to photograph my Clark Griswald shaming display of electrical awesomeness. This year, just please ask before you go tromping all over the yard.

    I say, whatever lens took that picture has some rather good bokeh rings. Fixed-apperture lens?

    @Ruthless, If you let me: I love bokeh for wallpaper. It gives the illusion that you're focusing on the icons or windows, and what's in the background is really blurred.

    Uhm, what if I don't want to export such a large file for others to use?

    Also who retains the rights to the image after submission?

    @balls187: I'm looking in to some automatic creative commons licensing thing. Technically, all of Giz is CC, so that protection probably applies to you as well. But like I said, formalizing it is a priority.

    @jason51873: I know reading can be tough for a elementary school drop out, so I'll cut you some slack. I was referring to this "ALSO, AND THIS IS NEW FOR THIS WEEK, ATTACH A 2560x1600 JPEG AS WELL FOR PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD AS WALLPAPER."

    And, no, not every shot I've taken was National Geographic worthy, just the one I took of your moms hairy back. It landed me the front cover of their special on the Missing Link.

    @Mark Wilson: Hmm, wouldn't submitting an image for the contest be a sort of implicit agreement to displaying it on the site and for people to use it as wallpapers, but no more? A gentleman's agreement sort of thing. I don't expect Giz to wish us to relinquish our copyright at any rate.
    Anyway, IANAL so this is just so much late night speculation.

    @duck: Tough to enforce a "gentleman's agreement" in court.

    So many people are ignorant of copyrights and are so quick to give away their creative work just for something as meaningless as 10k viewers.

    Just because I enter a contest, doesn't mean I want my image spammed across the internets, and double goes for letting dumbshits like @branchan and @Phillip Han use them as backgrounds.

    I am really looking forward to this one, I am not even a photographer, but I know what some of you people can do, and really look forward to seeing how you use the B&W medium.

    In reply to Shooting Challenge: Gray Winter
    If you do not shoot B&W film for this then you are a digital tool. Go pick up a Holga, a roll of Ilford FP4+, and shoot. One day you'll develop it and print it yourself. If you want a little more control then pick up a cheap consumer SLR for $100 including lens and a 35mm roll of the same variety.

    Digital B&W is just. not. the. same.

    @podspawn: I'm not talking about what it is you captured. With Photoshop, you can screw with the different color channels to get the proper color filter effect on B&W film but you will never, ever see the same effect that a silver print gives. Monitors just can't give the kind of glisten and contrast that a silver print can and for B&W it *does* make all the difference.

    Going to the lake around the corner tomorrow-morning! This should be awesome! It finally started freezing here, so that plus some clouds and sun can make some amazingly depressing shots!

    We already had a huge blizzard last year in Chicagoland

    Any day now : )

    That will hide all the dead things in a nice sea of ice......truly uplifting.

    @singlecoilpickup: You go to beaches and do one of two things:
    1. Take glorious, colorful photos of people having a blast on the beach, just to be a dick to those in the frigid north.
    2. Take haunting photos of the pale, ghostly white tourists in their entirely inappropriate Speedos. Large, 70-year-old French Canadian men with extra hairy backs preferred, and can be found in numerous quantities on Spa Beach in St. Petersburg, playing bocce ball.
