Is darkening an image this much in gimp pushing the rules a little bit to far
Heres the original
August 14, 2008 at 12:04 am #17635Choc-Ful-AParticipantI mined archived photos to find things that looked like they were manipulated digitally after the fact. That’s the best I could come up with this week. But since, as idle_hands noted, I think the ideal shots would be optical illusions not just odd photos. So if any don’t look close enough to the theme I’m ready to see them deleted. 🙂
August 14, 2008 at 12:08 am #17636staplermofoParticipantOh man, did I misunderstand this one.
Elsinore, you know what to do.August 14, 2008 at 12:11 am #17637linguineParticipantStapler, I think your shots are fine for the theme.
August 14, 2008 at 12:12 am #17638corsec67ParticipantI hope I started this contest off with a bang.
Without that lens, I would have had to torture the cats more.

It’s a lot of darkening, but I think the new rules allow for it.

I’m thinking this week calls for a lot of leeway. The theme is a little open to interpretation, and I think as long as people are posting stuff in good faith thinking it looks like a trick shot, then it should be fine.
Oh man, did I misunderstand this one.
Elsinore, you know what to do.What’s wrong with them? You did the zoom-during-exposure thing, right?
August 14, 2008 at 12:14 am #17640staplermofoParticipantOh, ok then, nevermind.
Oh, and happy birthday idle_hands, the cookies were delicious.

Thanks, not overly happy with it and its kinda hard to tell whats going on in it, but I figure since I uploaded it and all my other ideas fared even worse I might as well enter it.
August 14, 2008 at 12:23 am #17642Choc-Ful-AParticipantMy “4th choice” this week was this silly bird. I like the shot enough that I wanted to post it here for your amusement, even though it didn’t make the cut. Maybe I can save it for the “show some critter that stood perfectly still for a handheld evening shot except for one bady part” theme? 🙂
August 14, 2008 at 12:25 am #17643ElsinoreKeymasterOoo idle_hands’ birthday? Happy birthday!!
August 14, 2008 at 12:35 am #17644mopsyParticipantI’m having trouble narrowing it down from 6. Two are unnatural night skies caused by overcast skies reflecting city lights on long exposures, two are multiple light sources on a bus, & two are infrared.
I can’t tell if I’ve used any of them before, because the FSM isn’t responding. Here they are. Any thoughts?
See, that’s why we should use my suggested theme for a contest. Then you could use three of the photos that you did not enter for this one. Theme idea: “I should have used that one” or as NoBigDeal suggested, “B sides & unreleased tracks.”

Who knew that rear view mirrors could be so useful!

August 14, 2008 at 1:09 am #17647linguineParticipantThis was a hard theme, I thought I had a good idea and was going to hold a glass bottle in front of a boat to have a boat in a bottle, unfortunately the bottle was way to thick and you had no idea that there was a boat there.

Yeah, I think you would need a piece of colored plastic or glass in the shape of a bottle in front of a ship. Too late now for this contest.
