Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #45

Welcome to Round #45 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, February 22, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5) to Monday, March 8, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Together or Apart - Single Exposure Challenge

Near or far, the interaction—or lack thereof—between subjects in your photos can speak volumes about a story, a place, things, or people. See what a little (or a lot) of space can do. Your photo must comprise only one frame. This means no composites, no HDR blends, no photomerges, no diptychs or triptychs. One frame. One EXIF. You may do as much post-production as you like on the image, but it must contain only one frame. Good luck!

Your Judges:
cmurph (Winner of Round 42)
adbsgicom (Guest Judge)



IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a Smugmug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page: Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your exif will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules, there have been some slight modifications.

    Does this mean multiple layers of an original frame are not allowed?

    Cuong

    If you're referring to something like duplicating the original image and changing the layer copy blending mode to multiply for more contrast, yes, that's fine. One frame only, but you can edit that one frame as you like.

    1 quick question, if we were to use film, would that go against any of the rules regarding including exifs?

    Yes, it would. Specfically, this part:
    Proof of Fresh Photo: Entries must have exif embedded (do not use methods such as "save for web", which strip exif info). As such, only images taken digitally will be accepted (no scanned images).

    It's a good thing I asked first.
    Perhaps if I throw in the latest newspaper, my birth certificate and in the presence of a notary public in the photo?

    Description Field
    Hello Kerry,
    I'm new to the challenges and wanted to thankyou for managing these. I'm anxious to shoot for the categories.
    With that said, is it appropriate to describe the process of making the image. On my first entry for #44 Silhouette, this was a 'found' image on my card, that I attempted to make work. But for this challenge, and my guess is for future challenges, I'm finding that I'm doing a good bit of pre-producing, prior to going out to shoot my quote/unquote vision(Laughing.gif) this weekend. I just didn't know if that process was appropriate to include or share.

    Best,
    P

    Welcome to the Challenges, Paul! wave.gif

    If you'd like to explain your image, the best place to do that is here in the Challenges forum. Post a feedback thread here with your image and detail your process as much as you like. thumb.gif Alternatively, after each round ends, the participants post an "Unofficial Feedback Thread" that welcomes how-tos and behind-the-scenes explanations. You can also post there.

    For the entry gallery itself, though, keep the caption limited only to the "username - title" format outlined in the rules. deal.gif

    QUESTION..... Does this mean there need to be at least two living beings in the shot??
    I have a few images I took today, working on processing. But some only have one person.....

    Well, in the text you quoted, it looks like "people" wasn't the only thing listed as a potential subject. deal.gif

    I hope this isn't a newbie question, but I see no links to upload photos when I go there or log in there.

    Help?

    When you get to the gallery page, click logout, and then login with "challenges, challenges", then click on add photos to this gallerydeal.gif

    Ok, went there but can't figure out where to go in the Gallery page. Don't see a logout button either. Sorry for the most basic of basic questions here.

    Are you sure you're in the correct gallery (linked in the first post of this thread)? The Challenges gallery archive with past entries and winners doesn't have a login option. Only the entry gallery does.

    Ok, figured out how to get into the correct gallery, however, I cannot upload to it. The simple uploader won't do anything for me. I've dragged/dropped the file there but nothing happens. If I try and select the file via the files/folders button, first of all, it won't allow me to select an external HD (??) and, when I copy the file over to my internal HD, it shows up grayed out. Can I not upload a TIFF?


    Thanks.

    EDIT: Ok, figured it out. Doesn't allow TIFFs.

    Ok, sorry, I goofed! I uploaded a pic which was taken about a week before the contest. Sorry, not sure how to remove that pic. I can add another but don't want to unless I can remove the other.

    Newb mistake....

    Just update the caption for the photo you want removed to say "please delete" or something along those lines. Deleting entries is a mod power only. thumb.gif
