Dear Conanfugi,
I have not yet won a challenge. I am hoping you will permit my entry "InchWorm".
Thank you for your consideration,

Does "filters" mean physical filters or Instagram?

both.... funny you should ask since i allow filters

To me filters are still the things that are screwed onto or held up in front of a lens. 'Filter' in a photographic sense is being defined differently in the digital age.

I can understand 24hrexp recognising one may have in mind only the 'old school' filter and then asking if asking if either physical or digital filters are allowed.

Mr. 24hr's question only shows he saw a possible point of confusion and wanted to be sure he followed the rules. Good for him.

Yes it does, doesn't it? Good for him.
