STF CHALLENGE 8
Format
There will be two galleries created for Challenge 8…
Gallery 1: Eligible Gallery
This is the main gallery for participants who use their Sony digcams to take their entered photos during the challenge period.
Gallery 2: Exhibition Gallery
This includes all participants who want to submit their Sony digicams photos taken prior to the challenge dates and also those who want to submit photos that were taken by non- Sony digicams.. These two categories will be judged as one.
Times and Dates
Challenge 8 will run from 12:01 am January 7th, 2002 to 12 MN, January 14th, 2002
TOPIC:
“THINGS IN MOTION”
Rules and Criteria for this Topic:
You can go at least 3 ways here:
Action or Static Shots:
Catching a rapidly moving action as if it was a still, creating the oxymoron, still motion. A really good action shot still gives us the essence of motion before and after the captured moment. …for example, catching a
hummingbird in full flight or a snowboarder doing a 360.
Dynamic or Motion Shots:
This aspect allows the artist a lot of creativity in creating visible motion on digital film. With varying of shutter speed, light and subject, the artist catches the action in motion. For example, car lights at night using a long exposure.
Burst 3/Rapid sequence shots:
For those of us lucky enough to get an opportunity to use this effect…go for it. You will be allowed to enter all 3 shots as 1 entry but it must be reduced in size to at least a 5 X 15 inch size at 72 ppi and they must appear side by side .
Of course, knowing the innovative talent in our STF group, I’m sure will find many other way to show “Things in Motion”. You can POSE IT, STAGE IT, drop it, throw it, swing it, roll it, push it , dunk it, smash it, even shoot it ( be carefulJ)…it doesn’t matter how you achieve the result…the only thing you need to remember is that you have to photograph it!
Number of Entries
Each participant will be allowed 3 photos. This excludes a Burst 3 or sequence entry which comprises 3 photos together but counts as 1 entry.
Attribution of Entries
The artist may enter his or photo either anonymously or with his or her user name. All entries HAVE TO BE TITTLED. You will be allowed to enter your photo into the appropriate gallery by logging in to pbase using user ID stfchallenge and password stfpost. Whoever deletes the gallery intentionally or by mistake will be shot!
Preliminary Voting Rule:
Challenge 8 will be open all who take the time to view the entries and make the effort to vote. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A PARTICIPANT OR A STF MEMBER TO VOTE but they do need to be a member of some DP Review forum.
Host Comment:
I chose this topic because it was broad with plentiful subject matter but yet interesting; because it will force us to use our digital camera in ways we may not have tried; because it can be challenging if we choose it to be and also because I LOVE ACTION!!
I hope after reading through this book of rules, you will feel that I have tried to incorporate most of the issues/ concerns that have recently received lively discussions. I also hope that this challenge brings out the passion we all have in photography ; I hope it instigates lively debates and discussions but most importantly of all…I hope we have FUN!!!
Get your cameras charged and sticked….
A digital copy of these rules are available in pbase in the Challenge 8 gallery.
