THE DAILY STEEMIT SELFIE CHALLENGE - DAY 6 - 140 SBD PRIZE POOL AND GROWING

in contest •  7 years ago  (edited)

Day 6 of the Daily Steemit Selfie Challenge begins now, with the added quick draw bonus point!


Our registered players are competing against each other in an elimination endurance contest where their selfies must be posted on a daily basis and must meet the theme qualifications. Not only must they post their qualifying selfies prior to the deadline to avoid elimination, they are also competing against one another for bonus points. In each round, I will reward at least two selfies with bonus points.

Starting with this post, I will be rewarding one player each day with a "quick draw" bonus point for being the first to reply with a qualifying selfie each day.

BONUS POINTS FOR DAY 5

I was amazed at how many excellent food entries we had. Lots of creative entries came in, and these are the ones that stuck out from the crowd and earned a bonus point! I know it's more than normal, but I loved that round!

@carrieallen


@bluelightbandit

@craigcryptoking

THE ELIMINATED

As always, this is to the best of my knowledge. If you believe that you replied to the Day 5 post with a qualifying entry prior to 7:00 pm (CST) today, then let me know. Perhaps I did miss something. As far as I know, though, these players have been eliminated.

@rheda

DAY 6 : SKY

For Round 6, all you have to do is take a selfie with the sky in the photo. Whether it is sunny, cloudy, a sunset, or a starry night, as long as it is the sky, it qualifies!

Reply to this post with your qualifying selfie by 7:15 pm (CST) on Monday night to avoid elimination. As always, no entry post is required, but you are free to make a post featuring your entry if you want to. By entering this contest you are giving me full permission to use your entries in future contest posts. Thanks and have fun!

PRIZE POOL

The current prize pool is 140 SBD, not including Bonus Points. It will continue to grow on a daily basis! That means that the longer you hang in there, the larger it gets!

Until next time…

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com

It's dark and cloudy her in NC but here I am with my perfect set of Papa-Pepper teef

Pulling the trigger fast brother. Beating up on me with bonus points too.....gonna have to get creative on this one. LOL

Ahhhh hell, I feel something special is about come out of this one. Might as well hand over the trophy now, I can feel it!

Got an idea, gonna have to see if i can make it work.

Whats your idea? I will tell you if it's a great idea or not....😜

I see what you're doing there.

Sir please upvote me for permotion.

for the 5th selfie contest why why long notice @papa-pepper.

Asked the same to make sure. I'd bet it's so he can relax for Sunday.

thank you for telling him ,,,

I took Friday night and Saturday off.

oooooo ,,,,,
thanks for your friend ...

NICE TEETH!

Thank you!

Love that teeth 😃.

You have a perfect smile without having to resort to taking a @papa-pepper selfie smile tutorial course 😁

lol

nice entry, I wish you best of luck

Thank you, and you as well!

You are welcome, but I'm not in the contest

nice entry,congrats and goodluck.

Thank you!

Well done! You are killing it with the bonus points!!

Thank you, I have no life lol.

You got that from papa pepper's others post. nice

I did, cunning I am....😁 lol.... sometimes

More like smart, i wish i thought to do that. it would be quite funny if i did that though. this contest made me realize how bad and boring my selfie game has been all this while.

No, you have very beautiful pictures. I've complimented on yours and just a few more on different occasions because they are so great! I just don't have a life and have more time to put in to them than most of you guys lol. But I will be traveling a lot here soon so I may get caught slipping or even get eliminated, we'll see.

High 5!

nice set of teeth

where are you from

It's not so dark here in British Columbia.

selfie_2017_10_14.png

Wasn't you in New York yesterday?

Well it's not technically about the quality of the pic I guess, but I usually try to make it good.

However, getting a good pic using night vision isn't easy....who knew?

G0160586.jpg

Not bad. Your pic has a sort of dreamy, science fiction effect. This just might earn you a bonus point :-)
Upvoted!

Dang, now why didn't I think if that!? I have a night vision scope on a rifle of mine but as I recall, I tried taking a picture through it once before and it didn't turn out so well. Nice job!

Yeah it's difficult. Mine are 3rd Gen goggles that are 25 years old. Still better than most civilian stuff, but not as good as newer stuff. I'd like to get a PVS-14 monocular, but that's gotta wait until I have a bunch of disposable income.

It difficult because to get it to focus on the face, the stars go out of focus. I really wanted the stars to look better. So I kind of had to try and get as close as I could to both, leaning towards the stars.

. [ERROR]

Oh great post. send selfies.

Hehe thanks, lets see :)

Nicely done, thinking outside the box.

Aww thanks so much everyone really appreciate that, my head still hurts.. haha.. Cheer$:)

Cloudy and drizzly this morning here in CT but didn’t stop Bahbahra and me from a short morning walk D6EE2324-4E7B-470A-B9DD-C51BEE9A3017.jpeg

A bit of the stone sculptures on the beach by the Boardwalk , Charles Island and of course to qualify for today’s Challenge some cloudy sky

Oh Bahbahra! 😀

:) have you seen her before?

Can you imagine, put camera down at the ground, steady, putting in a minute wait before picture is taken, i have 10 pictures of my backside before i managed this one !!! I am now sweating like a horse, and time for a rest.

This is so dreamy. You look like Cinderella's fairy godmother. So nice!

:-) thank you now i feel flattered :-)

After reading this and seeing your other "selfie" post in this thread, I took it upon myself to look in to it out of suspicion since your account is relatively new. I went back to day one where I re-steemed the original sign up post and I did not see your name on the list, nor did I see it on any other list that I checked. I realize that this is not my contest and I may be overstepping my boundaries and if so then I apologize to the Big Pepper himself. But @papa-pepper has a tremendous amount of tasks on his plate and when people that are not involved in the contest attempt to join in after the fact, it makes things really complicated. Now, if I have made a mistake and have overlooked something and am totally off color than you will receive an apology from me as well but I have a feeling I am not.

thank you for checking it out, i will play as they say in holland for bacon and beans..... :-) hey it is something else as steem of bitcoin. I will bore everyonne with my selfies anyway... sorry and thank you !

No need for appologies :)

omg we do not say bacon and beans at all !!! how can i write that? It is off course bacon and eggs... but you did understand me anyway i guess? lol

i should remove it but reading it again, i figured out it is both ... In belgium they say bacon and eggs and in holland it is bacon and beans ! Flemish versus dutch ... :-) i forgive myself because i live in antwerp but am origanally from rotterdam.

A spectacular photo: a guaranteed point winner. I'm sure it was worth the hike.

as a newbee on steemit, i would like to like comments as i do on facebook. but than i can only show my appreciation by pushing the upvote button. Untill i know how it exactly works you get the upvote :-) as thank you i liked what you say

i agree, really great shot.

Wait a second.... Are you even registered in this contest?

Just like the cover of It's A Beautiful Day's first, classic, album cover....yeah, it's a way back.

Grey cloudy and raining off an on. @ironshield

Yes, that IS an attractive smile! Upvoted for the smile.

Doesn't stop that sunshiny smile, though!

Aw shucks now i'm blushing. @ironshield

Night sky lol..

21 seconds too late for the quick draw..... Nice entry though!

Thank you! No problem @papa-pepper. I just wait for this before i go to sleep lol. 1:23 am so Good mornight everyone 😊

I love this entry...... I hope to see you in the next round.....

Best of Luck

I don't have beautiful sky right now @papa-pepper for it was our sky is crying.

Rainy and cold morning guys.

This is my version of being @papa-pepper or being a fan of him.

Observations on Sky Selfies

Taking sky selfies at night when surrounded by tall buildings is an interesting challenge. In my case, I walked around until I was able to find just a sweet spot where I could:

(1) use the indirect illumination of a streetlight to increase the resolution on my face: too much light creates intolerable glare, and not enough makes the image horribly grainy

(2) prevent the numerous street trees from obscuring the sky

Unexpected Bonuses

This contest is slowly turning into a DIY cellphone photography course where I have learned how to:

(A) reliably position multiple objects without using my hands (clamps, paper clips, furniture notches, laptop keyboard)

(B) change my camera settings (choosing low resolution settings means I can skip the image reduction step; I found out that I can wave my hand instead of pressing the shutter button on my Samsung screen)

(C) use more than one online image hosting website (when one site goes down a few minutes from the deadline, I can quickly choose another

More important than these minor technical skills: I have been able to participate in a common task with fellow Steemians and make a few friends along the way (sincere compliments and technical pointers to overcome minor difficulties).

I think allowing friendships to sprout is the most valuable outcome of this contest, more important than making a few bucks by winning a prize.

No you will not believe me if i tell you they where walking around in the streets in Ysterfontein

lol jou yster ;)

:)

At our observatory today. We were hoping the sun would show for a bit so we could get a telescope on it for our guests! Unfortunately, it's so cloudy that the sky just looks blank white!
20171015_095355

The sun is shining too bright here hence the weird eyes and expression lol

Looks a much nice day there than it is here :)

The day was bright, sunny and quite hot. It is the middle of October and no sign of fall here yet.

There were traces of signs off fall but with the windy and wet weather this weekend I’m some spots the colors came and went in a couple of days

This is gorgeous! Your sweater, hair and the lovely tree complement each other really well. :D

Thanks for pointing out how gorgeous this scene is. As a guy, I don't normally notice such things (my attitude needs adjustment). I need to pay attention to the beauty that is all around me.

Thank you so much!! The sky was pretty dreary today but we get to look at that lovely tree out our front window every day. :)

Clear and crisp Drill weekend!

Thank you for recognizing my entry @papa-pepper.
I don't know today's post was "REACH THE SKY" before i captioned this in the morning.

So I see this and it is pitch black outside. No stars out tonight. As you can see the sky is dark.
20171014_201858.jpg

i see 1 star :-)

This is probably the last blue sky I'll see until March.

The sun came up 7kms into my 10km morning run. Nice :-)

And if you look closely you'll notice that something is missing from this picture.

Can you tell what it is?

Can't guess?

Ok, then I'll tell you.

There's no rain in the photo! It stopped raining for, like, long enough for me to run 10kms without getting wet. And the wind wasn't even at gale force either.

Summer must be just around the corner ;-)

Hope this evening finds all of you as happy as we are!!

...the sky is so gloomy... But here's my entry..!

I had wondered why this was so long until Monday night. Well I wanted to do a day shot but so I could try and get this contest going I did a night shot. Since it was so dark and I can't see any stars I used the cell phone or radio towers whichever they are that are around me to show that it is in the sky.

Can't wait for the next one.
IMG_4893.JPG

Thanks for your help!

Of course!

That looks a seriously tall tower, would have loved ot have climbed it back when climbing and building towers was one of my jobs LOL

You all ready for todays challenge :)

Ooh that sounds like a cool job. Ya there is like a whole set of them, 3 or 4 and they are super big. I am indeed 😀 Can't wait to see what the next one brings

Me either, I am guessing it will be this evening again

:)

What a beautiful sky :)

It was a patch of blue really. We did have a lot of cloud around, but right in front of my house was the patch of blue!

Well that what we saw :) , wonder what today will bring:)

AAGGH! Steemit has been giving me such a hard time with comments! My comments disappear into oblivion!
I wonder if the challenge goes on for longer than a week? There are a lot of people to eliminate if today is the last day! LOL!

Yes it has been so frustrating today works for a but and then not

I think the selfie contests horscas long as it takes till there is a winner

I just lost an entire post, but thankfully I do it first in open Office and copy and paste it in! I read in another post that some kind of malware is attacking Steemit! :-(

I wouldn’t be surprised to be honest seems a few attack's of recentb

Cloudy deadlines... Ha ha! Still love you papa!

Yes

Rip, I actually missed the day the contest started lmao- but best of luck to everyone still in the running, this one is definitely one of the more fun contests on Steemit.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Are you changing to the previous time zone

It'll change sometimes, but will always allow at least 24 hours from when I post until the cutoff.

i waited for yesterdays own but it came in the midnight and by then i was probably snoring my ass off

Wow fortuitos Cloud formation!

thank you so much @ecoinstante. Appreciate it.

Epic

Thank you very much @craigcryptoking.

My entry :-

IMG_3006.JPG

this is good, I have some time (till monday night)to take a daylight selfie... and even @papa-pepper is entitled to have sunday off

That was a mistake... we will see.

Enjoying a long, uninterrupted weekend with your family is NEVER a mistake.

Clarifying question - 7pm Monday? Is that a two day window? Thanks!

My bad, that was a mistake. I forgot what day it was. If everyone comes in first, we will progress sooner.

I took you at your word, so I just posted now. I thought you were having a nice long weekend with the family.

No problem, I will try to be more careful.

That's Ok. On any other day of the week I would have been online a lot more and would have noticed your comment about it being a mistake! 😀😀😀

I hope you forgive me, I had to make the decision without knowing, selfies incoming.

Thank you for waiting for us!

Congratulations @papa-pepper!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:

  • Comments - Ranked 2 with 170 comments

Hey papa-pepper, am I correct in assuming that the selfie must be taken after the challenge is issued? Just checking in case we can use previous selfies that fit the current requirement.

Thanks

I thought he said somewhere that it had to be a new pic. If not, I've got a bunch of para-sailing selfies over the ocean in Cancoon Mexico I need to go dig up lol.

Yeah same here....which is why I feel like he'd probably like the pics to be after the challenge is dropped. But if we can use older selfies.....I'LL BE COMING FOR YA BLUE!!!

Oh, I bet you do have some doozies in the ol' scrap book lmao!

Let's just say I'll see your para-sailing and raise you parachuting out of a helicopter....while holding a video camera.

;-)

lol you win

I think you can use previous selfies too but it would be nice to have that clarification from @papa-pepper himself.

But we gotta hear it from the pepper himself. LOL

Yup we don't want to be eliminated on the basis of our assumptions :P

I believe everyone should take new selfies for the title itself is Daily Steemit Selfie Challenge.. I think its unfair for others making effort. Just my opinion. And yes must hear the answer from @papa-pepper himself. Cheers!

I feel like you're probably right. Also the quick draw is more fun if folks have to see the notice, take a pic that fits the requirement, and get it posted.

The goal was a new one each day.

too much fun

Hi @papa-pepper wow indeed i am personally gratefull to notice this great contest entitled The Daily Steemit Selfie Challenge Day 6 : SKY take a selfie with the sky upon you,perhaps this is going to be a massive contest @papa-pepper i will personally take part in it,lastly thank you sir for this initiative and for this post also keep on posting such great content post on Steemit.

We are all going strong! Can't wait to soon...really soon win some of the bonus points! lol Best wishes. - @splendorhub

Thanks for sharing!!

So it that deadline correct @papa-pepper, Monday so you can have a Sunday rest? Just making sure.

That was not my intention. I forgot what day it was, and made a mistake in my post. The contest will progress when all players reply or when I hit my mistake deadline.

Would you go back to the previous time zone?

It'll bounce around a bit, but I'll always post the next cutoff time. The new post should be out after the cutoff time. The only mistake I have is that I put down Monday instead of Sunday for the cutoff time, but if the replies come in earlier, I'll progress sooner.

will the contest run for two months

CUTOFF!
