ParticipantI posted some ladybug pics on G+. ravnostic made a comment that he wants to see them as a triptych this week. I had not planned on doing that because this theme specifies ‘three parts of the subject”. If I used the ladybug pics I already have I would simply be arranging three different poses or settings of the same whole subject. IMO, it comes close to the spirit of the theme but doesn’t quite make it. A similar question arises with QueenBee’s banana shots over on Facebook. Looking past the ‘alive or not’ question, they are not really different parts of the whole.
So, am I getting too hung up on details? If I arranged three of these into some sort of triptych would it be OK in your opinions? I have plenty of live subjects around and all weekend to shoot them so don’t hold back if you think I should do something else. I am really using my own situation to try and define how closely this will be called.
As usual, I don’t want to have Elsinore be the bad cop, pull somebody’s pics and piss them off. I am OK going with a broad interpretation of the theme to inspire creativity. But the game should be played within some sort of boundaries.

http://photos.imageevent.com/ulle17/fark/LB_0372.jpgOMG, those are awesome! As I was envisioning the theme, they wouldn’t work. But, I’m certainly not stuck on that interpretation and we’ll probably get some of those type anyway.

ParticipantThose are great, gambitgirl, now I want to start working on mine!
I haven’t ever made Triptychs before, so went to look for help on the Photoshop side of it. In case others need help, check here:

Guess I better check, is it ok to put a border around each piece?
Also, I’m thinking it’s maybe better to start with your canvas sized to 640 rather than putting it together then sizing, any thoughts on that?
I haven’t checked the link, but thanks in advance.
It is OK to have borders with this theme.
Ok, thanks U-Man. I went back and read the Theme thread & the first part of this one. To clarify, this should be one LIVING subject, rather than inanimates or scenes?

I’ve never done them either. I used the links at the beginning of the thread for ideas and then just hacked away at them till they were decent. I didn’t even have an image editor till the last shot (flower) and had to get one (I used piknic for the first two).
I resized the images and then started with a canvas WAY larger than I needed and then pasted each image into a layer. Moved them around till I liked it and then cropped the whole thing.
Ok, I’ll try that too, thanks!

ParticipantSo we’re all on the same page, right?
Right. And cars are alive, right?
They consume, they excrete, they are mobile, modern ones even have brains that think
They still don’t reproduce though.
wanna bet?
Until I see little Smart cars waddling away, it didn’t happen.
How many nested quotes can we get?
At some point they’ll collapse in on themselves and form a black quote hole.
I wanna see that in a twisted kinda way 😈
A hole from which no substance can escape.
Past the point of no return.
Would it help if we divided by zero?
do
{
quote(last_post);
}
while (true);I’m dizzy now…thanks!
Just wait until Elsinore gets back.
So will the forum engine start line wrapping the earlier ones at some point?
Wheres my black quote hole?
Improbability passing 10,000 to 1. Passing 100,000 to 1. Passing 1,000,000 to 1. Approaching infinite improbability. Standby.
You know, it kind has that Mayan temple thing goin’ on now. Xtapolopacetl is pleased.
U-Man‘s original post is getting narrower, but not as quickly as I might have thought. Perhaps there’s a quantum effect in force.
Keep going, guys! I think if we compress the first quote enough, we might be able to finally discover the Higgs-Boson.
Oh good Lord.
/still playing along
I must get in on this experiment
*crunch*
3Well it would seem we are definitely all on the same page now! Question answered U-Man
Woohoo! U-Man’s text shrank.
I wonder if the next nested quote shrinks too.
I wonder what this stepped pyramid looks like in side-elevation…
Are you mad? The human mind can’t cope with that kind of horror!!!
Hope mrgreen doesn’t break the thread!This is too funny!
I’d say so, but I’m easily amused.
Simple things for simple minds?
Man, this is still going on,… Shouldn’t you people be out photographing something?
We are approaching the point not even light can escape!
I say we keep moving forward, beyond the event horizon
OK, serious question, though I am keeping the compression going: Can the part of the triptych be non-living? Lemme esplain…no, there is too much, let me sum up, My idea is a triptych close up on one hand fretting/playing guitar, the middle panel of the just the neck and strings no hands and the final trip being the fingers picking/strumming. Does this the inclusion of the center panel without organic matter rule this idea out?
I think you’d better post the question separately, because it’s gonna get buried in the hourglass thingy. 🙂
IMO, if the “subject” of the overall triptych is the guitar, and the hands are just an accessory, then it’s not valid.
*Edit to say: this hourglass should be the standard format of our forums from now on.
{Cheech voice} wow, this is a fuckin’ trip, man. 8)
My bad. =D
Although, I really don’t feel so bad. It’s great! It’s awesome! Would do business again!Heh, U-Man’s post got bigger & bolder with your post! 😆

So can the panels be different sizes & arranged differently then just side by side?

Participantkashari I think when I wrote “whole subject” that was something of a misnomer. I don’t think the whole subject needs to be displayed in the three photos but you do want your photos to give you the sense of what the subject is – for example if you were photographing a pair of dice and you just shot the sides rather than a side, an edge and a corner you lose the dimension of the subject.
Ok, gotcha, thanks Kestrana!
kashari
ParticipantColor me confused. 😆
I love that one guy’s stuff, where he has the head shot, hands, then feet. So is this more of what you’re wanting is three parts of one thing, rather than shooting something in thirds? For example, would shooting a car from the side, in thirds, not fit? But, if you took a shot from the front, then maybe a tire and then a rear view, would that be ok?
I guess one things that’s confusing me is the term ‘making it whole’, does that mean show the whole thing or a ‘whole as a concept’?

Participant😯 that is such a cool idea! it would be the hit of any party, fer sure!

ParticipantIt’s been quite a while since I’ve worked with SNA, but from what I recall, without explicitly encrypting the messages (which is possible using either protocol), I think most of SNA’s security came from obscurity. I remember reading raw data dumps of SNA conversations and if you knew what you were looking for, it was all there to be seen. Of course, this was back in the days before the internet had pipes big enough to support all the store-to-corp data transfer, so everyone had dedicated lines which are pretty much secure in and of themselves.
SNA was/is likely more robust/fault-tolerant than TCP, though. And I can’t imagine doing 24/7/365 support work for that long of a period. Glad to hear you got out of it alive.
Oh, maybe that’s what I’m thinking of, that it was more stable because I do remember being able to sniff the traffic too.
Luckily the always on-call wasn’t that whole time, just the last 6 yrs or so, but that was enough for total burnout. Even if not primary support, had to be available within a specific amount of time.
