The challenge has been updated with a flag to require compliance with the aperture specification. We're allowing a tolerance of .2 in either direction, as some P&S cameras can be sloppy that way; you set them to f/8 aperture priority and they return, say, f/7.9 in the EXIF.


So does this mean no Save For Web? Or how will you know who to DQ?


In early versions of Photoshop, "Save For Web" used to strip all metadata. Now (probably for a number of versions back) it has options about how much metadata to save with the output (drop down box above the "color table":
* None
* Copyright
* Copyright and Contact Info
* All Except Camera Info
* All

But, as Robert just posted while I am typing, users must submit original files with EXIF when an image is considered for possible DQ, so a jpg 700 kb entry submission without metadata is not a problem.

We never DQ without seeing an original, unless it's for something like a copyright statement on the entry, so we'll know when we see the EXIF.


So maybe I missed something. Does an original need to be submitted with every entry?

I suspect the usual trust is placed in us all, as with the date-stamp. You only get caught out when you send in the original. But do not expect mercy then...

And if your image has only a slither of in-focus area, or miles and miles of perfect DOF focus, expect to hear the whistle blowing.

Could you stack a lot of f8's to get the whole image sharp and pass the test?

f8 was the go-to setting for all professional nature photographers, so that the whole of the beast would be in focus. Difficult without good equipment and technique at golden light time.Nowadays it's choose any old f-stop you like and the roaming ISO band as wide as the Amazon will take care of the rest.


this is why i dont get this challenge, what does f8 actually do? how is it restricting?
