D'oh! You're right ... but then again ... since there's no such thing as digital photography , a digital photographer does not exist. Hence, none of us on this forum are really here. It's all just a figment of somebody's imagination.
Sounds to me like the queen bee of her little kingdom decided you would be the subject of her flexing her "power" upon. Isn't stuff like that so incredibly obnoxious?
--Well the judging is done and the exhibits are up. Imagine our
surprise when Sarah and I walked into the fine arts building to
find that we had both one BEST OF SHOW with our pics! Not only
that, there wasn't one class we entered where we did not place, and
we had a clean sweep in several (1st, 2nd, and 3rd)!
This is Sarah's Best of Show in the junior division (the kitten).
Because of regulations she was required to enter junior due to her
age, although most of her pics ended up in amateur because the
junior division had limited classes.
This is my best of show in amateur - yes it is a 16x20 out of my
3.3. mp camera!
We have stf and all you mentors to thank for this success! Thank You!
NOW, regarding the digital question. As soon as Ms. Checker Inner
saw me she told me she had asked the judge whether digital pics
were allowed. She reports that he said in the future he would like
to see them separated into Film and Digital divisions. At this
point I said I hoped that input would be taken into consideration
because after all they are both photography [meaning digital is not
DIGITAL ART after all! hehehe]. She replied that digital and
"analog" were very different and couldn't be judged side by side.
I like the word "analog". At least digital and analog are more
equal than photography and digital photography! But it will be
nice when its all just called photography again.
Sarah and I volunteered to help set up the displays so we got to
look closely at most of the pics. I'm positive that many were
either digital, or at least edited digitally. Some of the
photoshop work was pretty evident. So we weren't the only ones to
use a dreaded "COMPUTER!!!!!
Thank you all for your moral support on this one. Unfotunately I
don't think it is the last time we will hear of a situation like
this. Cindy

So true David! I do give my camera credit but on the other hand I've sure taken a lot of BAD photos with it too. You got to have both the practice and the equipment most of the time! And despite our recent success it still humbles me. Just today I was approached by the winner of the grand champion lamb to take her picture with her trophies and animal. Of course I said "sure". Oh NO!!! I just looked at them and they are awful! Seems since she wasn't centered and I just plain missed the focus - of course the wall 20 feet behind her is in perfect focus. Boy do I feel dumb. Oh yeah - the winner of the best of show photograph can't even take a simple snapshot
. Always remember your basics!!! Thanks, Cindy
