Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / September 2005[SI] Current Challenge - Creative OOF
The current Shoot-In mandate challenge is... <drum roll please> Creative OOF Part of your photo should be in sharp-focus; one or more elements in the photo should be creatively-blurred. Due: August 28, 2005 The rulz can be found at http://www.aliasimages.com/si/rulz.html  SignatureBill > The current Shoot-In mandate challenge is...

Out Of Patience, sh.t. > Do you mean DOF? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > wot a doofus! DOF is DOF and does not imply necessarilly that there is an OOF background (or foreground element for that matter) contributing to the composition. DOF can be from a few feet from the lens to the horizon and nothing OOF in the image. Even if the DOF is shallow, there are a variety of situations where there is no background "information" of the sort associated with OOF: A blue sky, unlit background of a studio shot, shot of a "plane" subject such as a painting. and many more. Don't label people as doofi before you think things through...

Does a portrait with OOF background count? I have a very nice shot of my cat that would qualify in that case (although the blurred background is of an even colour and texture).

You should shoot something new that complies with the mandate. Merely uploading an image that you have already made is against the spirit of the SI, which is all about shooting to a specific brief within the time allowed. Of course there is one contributor to the SI who almost always supplies a shot from his increasingly dull archive of incompetent snapshots. However, the rules ("rulz") were never supposed to apply to Alan Browne, only to everyone else. ;-) "Tony Polson" <tp@nospam.com> wrote in message > Of course there is one contributor to the SI who almost always > supplies a shot from his increasingly dull archive of incompetent > snapshots.

Er, neither Tony nor Alan are big on hints; nor are you IIRC. It'd be nice if they stopped with the pot/slap shots at each other, and if public plonkers went private. [hint, hint.] Cheerily posted with the bets placed on the status quo, however.

[hint, hint.] Most residents of my killfile don't know they are there. However polson regularly changes his address cos he knows he's in most killfiles. >>> The current Shoot-In mandate challenge is... >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > the SI, which is all about shooting to a specific brief within the > time allowed. I know that. The shot in question is very recent though, so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Well, I have two weeks, so I might see if a nice opportunity presents itself for a better shot.

As do I -- but I think that the rules include it being shot *during* the challenge period, and you lose points with pre-existing photos. Otherwise, I might actually submit that shot. :-) Enjoy, DoN.

Sure, but the idea is to go out and shoot for the challenge if possible...but if you can't, archive shots are allowed.

Does it count if one captures an image after the announce period, but is unaware of the mandate, and the photo accidentally meets the criteria? <s> SignatureJohn McWilliams "John McWilliams" <jpmcw@comcast.net> wrote in message news:QJednUKnA-2dl5zeRVn-> Does it count if one captures an image after the announce period, but is > unaware of the mandate, and the photo accidentally meets the criteria? No, that wouldn't count....If, for example you think you are taking a picture of some WMD's, with OOF nudes in the background, and you end up with the nudes in focus, and the WMD's out of focus, then that picture would not count...... > "John McWilliams" <jpmcw@comcast.net> wrote in message > news:QJednUKnA-2dl5zeRVn-> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > the nudes in focus, and the WMD's out of focus, then that picture would not > count......

Hey I just came up with one shot three days before the mandate but it was in the spirit of thinking I really wanted to get something into one of these shootins again so I think that oughta count even if it's not in full compliance, the rulz are just guidelines, the idea is to get out there & get some practice & motivation.

People have done it in the past, but have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Which in this case is nothing more than a soft poke in the ribs when you are asleep.

Less rib poking and you can sleep in.

Less rib poking and you can sleep in. Good idea. Here's my two alternates for the blurry topic. http://marklauter.com/gallery/MiscBW/oof_2 and http://marklauter.com/gallery/MiscBW/towel My interpretation of OOF isn't DoF, but really OOF. When I used to post on photosig.com I noticed many comments (to myself and others) about images being not sharp enough. But I'm more of an impressionist. Thanks be to the gods I don't have to burn money on a "tack sharp lens". Not long ago someone suggested I use some tool or other to remove noise from my photo. Hell no! The noise *MADE* the image. I'm the type who prefers to shoot ISO 1600 film and create soft, but edgey images (I'm just not very good at it.) :) SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com |
