Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / September 2008[SI] September mandate - "Wide" - 3 weeks to go.
I've been shanghaied by Furman and Piggens, but as the suggested mandate meets my own criteria of accessible to all and not overly abstract, I think it's a good one. Therefore, the mandate is: Wide. doesn't have to be super-wide but take advantage of the visual/compositional aspects of wide angle shooting to make the best of a scene/subject of your choosing. Guilty party: Paul Furman. SI rulz exceptionz in effect are: ================================= 1. Up to three photos per photgrapher. 2. Dimensions: maximum 1200 pixels wide. 1000 pixels high. 3. File requirements: JPG; <= 300 kB file size. Send all photos to: si daht moderator & gmail daht com Do not expect an immediate acknowledgement. Due date: 2008.09.28 evening, EDST (NY time zone). Photos will be posted WITH shooter details and all camera detail. I'm not going through the nut-roll again. Cheers, Alan. SI admin pro tempore (hint).

SignatureTroy Piggins I always appreciate critique. : I've been shanghaied by Furman and Piggens, but as the suggested mandate : meets my own criteria of accessible to all and not overly abstract, I [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] : Photos will be posted WITH shooter details and all camera detail. : I'm not going through the nut-roll again. How wide is "wide"? My widest lens goes only to 18mm. I had thought about buying a 10-20 next year (having blown this year's tax rebate on a telephoto), but decided to put myself on the list for a 50D instead. And even if I hit the lottery or something, I'm not going to have a WA in September. Am I SOL?

Or maybe a wide mouth jar? Interpret the mandate, don't let it stifle you, open wide your mind. -Jim > How wide is "wide"? My widest lens goes only to 18mm.

Am I SOL? Lots of different ways to interpret "Wide." Specifically using a wide-angle lens is only one. Most might not even be related to hardware at all. Mandates are far from hard and fast requirements. Ken >> How wide is "wide"? My widest lens goes only to 18mm.

Just stitch a couple of images together... -Jim On Sep 7, 9:24 am, "jimkramer" <Newsread...@NOFSPAMjlkramer.net> wrote: > Agreed.

And even if I hit the > lottery or something, I'm not going to have a WA in September. Am I SOL? 18mm is wide. Even on AP-S it's about 28mm (eq) heck 35mm (eq) is wide. My idea was to explore the opportunities and constraints of wide angle shooting like showing more context behind a subject or emphasizing perspective or making a person look fat or thin depending how they are placed in the frame. Those ideas could even be explored at a normal focal length.

And even if I hit the > lottery or something, I'm not going to have a WA in September. Am I SOL? As wide as you can manage is fine. I don't think there would be howls of protest if you pano'd 3 or 4 images together either.
