Open Contest 2026 BYC Calendar Photo Contest - We Need Your Pictures!

[redinator]

Quick thing and I don't mean to interrupt your conversation but I don't recommend you doing that. Screenshots aren't allowed (and yes, even without the typical black bars, we can still tell that the picture is a screenshot). See rule #11

Also, from taking pictures out of a video, not only will you be losing photo quality (which risks your photo getting scored lower), but it could also hurt the size making it harder to judge. See rules #3 and #9



Aside from all of that, what type of camera are you using? Some cameras have a Sports (sometimes called Kids) setting that is specifically for action shots and works good with chickens.

I use my cell phone.

I use my cell phone.

Correction: I use my cell phone to shot the video then move it to my computer to review and pull the stills. I use VLC Media player to take 'snapshots' from the video, which are saved on my computer as .jpg. I'm not sure that makes them 'screenshots' or not.

Why does it look like she has 4 sets of feet?

some kind of effect was applied to it like a blur filter for the background. You can see the ghosting all around her on the ground.
