Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / March 2006Question regarding other NG's
1- Do you participate or lurk in the rec.photo.equipment.35mm newsgroup? 2- If you answered "no" to the above, are you interested in participating in the "Shoot-in"? It is a casual bi-weekly photo assignment with mandates and 16 days to complete the mandate. All photos are posted on pbase under "shootin" by mandate for discussion. (See the [SI] link below, at that page you'll find a link to the very easy to comply to "rulz". No fee, no mail, no prints required.) Current assignment is "backlit" photos and are due next Sunday (March 5). Cheers, Alan.

Yes, I do both. it's a great NG. I'm going through slides now(I should be helping clean the house) looking for backlighting.

The idea is to submit photos shot during the mandate period ('though archive shots are allowed but you get picked on by your SI peers if you do...). Shooting digital allows a lot of time to shoot for the mandate and upload the image right up to the deadline. Cheers, Alan.

SignatureRegards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com > Mandates, rules, time limits. That's completly anti-photography Very little great photography has been produced without purpose. In the real world there are limits regardless of how free spirited you wish to be. Commercial photographers, art photographers, NatGeo and other PJ photographers (to name very few) work within rather confining limits that go beyond the mandate, rules (policy) and time and yet they produce competent to stunning photography. In the SI there is a mandate (given by participants, in turn) so that everyone can (freely) interpret that mandate. If the mandate is "dogs" and you submit a photo of a sunset, then you should be prepared to defend the interpretation. That's up to you. The problem there is that when people comment on your photo, if you've gone too far off the ranch, you may not get comments/critiques that may be of value to you. The SI has "rulz", not rules, so additional freedom of interpretation is allowed. The rulz are simple, common sense and easy. At that, most of the rulz have to do with procedure, not limitations on what you can do. A time limit is there to set a pace. If there was no limit on time, then like all other human endeavour, nothing useful would happen. As to that there is usually a couple days grace for the slackers. Of course discussing it and doing it are two different things, so I do hope you participate in it and then you'll be able to understand why there is a mandate, rulz and a timetable. If you're into numbers, then the SI has resulted in over 1200 photos to date from over 50 photographers of all skill levels and the images have been viewed over half a million times. The SI itself has some vocal critics as well, but they've made themsleves look ridiculous assailing it and its participants. Each SI mandate has produced very good to occasionaly great photos. But they're produced by people who participate. Not "anti-photography" at all. Cheers, Alan.

That way I could have at least a slim chance! <g> George OK, I'll give this a shot. I take it all the discussion is on rec.photo.equipment.35mm, because I don't see any comments on the photos themselves. I thought I read that [SI] was supposed to be in the subject line, but I don't see any messages like that. I assume it doesn't matter that I'm shooting digital (D70), not film. And if I read correctly, all I do is email an 800px (max) shot to the address on the RULZ site.
