Banner contest

3 years ago by Zak to c/flashlight

I grabbed random photos from my reviews for the community icon and banner so we'd have something right away, but I think it would be fun to have rotating community contributions.

Post flashlight-related images that are your original content in replies. Upvote images you like. The image with the most upvotes on Monday, June 19 will become our banner for at least a month.

Disclaimers:

We'll ignore downvotes
Images should be suitable for the roughly 3:1 crop of the desktop banner and the squarer formats used for mobile and the sidebar
Images should be on-topic and tasteful
Mods may disqualify submissions for reasons I haven't thought of yet

I actually pretty much liked the banner we had at Reddit, the one with the dragons or whatnot being zapped with light beams from the guy on the ground... not sure it fits well here with the cropping etc.

Failing that, I vote for the picture of the petal-like TIR, really beautiful.

It's a screenshot from The Lord of the Rings. While I agree that it was, indeed, hilariously awesome, I could also see some change being good as well.

Thanks for the reference, I actually don't remember any particular scene from LOTR with quite that look

I don't know how many lumens but it's a lot of light

squarer formats used for mobile and the sidebar

To clarify, it must be one image, which the Lemmy software will crop automatically. If we use this image, the desktop banner will be cropped like this (which may be acceptable, just to make sure you understand).

Got it. Was thinking it might be used for a squarer sidebar img, but that looks kind of cool as well. Thanks Zak!

Edit- 3:1 crop of original

It's a Noctigon KR1 with the reflector swapped for a LEDiL TIR.

It's hard to make something work with a 3:1 and a square crop. Edit: changed the crop.

Zak 3 points 3 years ago

Yes, the approach I took was to use an image with the subject smaller in the frame and a lot of foreground/background that's arguably pleasant to look at, but irrelevant.
