I am sitting this one out. I was so uninspired and bummed by my crappy shoot for the cemetery challenge (didn't submit) that I haven't touched my camera. Just not interested in taking pics. Guess I'm in a slump

I'd say a snapshot is something like a candid, whre u don't actually set up and enviroment or scene for the shoot-out. In opposite to the portrait, where u can take time to work on the enviroment and model (kinda hard with pets).
Am I right? |

Here's my interpretation (maybe not a good one):
A portrait: 
A candid portrait: 
A candid: 
A snapshot:  [ |

should we run a quick poll (or a betting pool?)
what will dominate the top 3 (bottom 10) ?

I think there will be some surprisingly nice shots in this challenge. I'm looking forward to it.
I thought Cemetery would be loaded with the same type of headstones and composition and was really happy with what I saw.
I love animals so I'm looking forward to this one.
Good luck all. |

I am surprised by the people boycotting this challenge. I personally love doing portraits and I think a quality animal portrait, like a baby portrait, is very challenging as you have limited communication and attention span from your subject.
I look forward to many quality images of beautiful animals. (and probably lots of crappy ones too...)

This photo is Martina's, and I just love it.
I'd certainly call THAT a pet portrait!

I just really hope it's not full of poor quality snapshots... but since it's a member only challenge it should not have too many of those.
I am really excited to see the shots in this challenge! I really think it's going to be fun voting this one.
Top 3: DOGS =), cats, ducks (haha)
Bottom 3: scared to know =) |

| I put alot of effort into this one and am really proud of this submission, I'm hoping to have my first finish over a 6 lol, but usually the ones that I think will do good flop with the voters, still looking forward to voting! |

| I am looking forward to all the real pet photos, but I know I will be rolling my eyes at a lot of "out of the box" ones - rocks, pencils, leather boots, fingernail clippings etc - that people will INSIST are their pets. |

Pin him to a piece of posterboard. Slower but just as effective is overnight in the freezer.

You mean dogman's ;) not going to enter? You still have time!
You're not a slump! I'm the slump. I'm the one that should not be entering because of my crappy scoring cemetery shot that I "did" enter. I have climbed to 4.9 though. What's a slump?
Oh...nevermind...another blonde moment. You said you are "in" a slump.

Don't just roll your eyes, use your vote to let them know you don't care for those kind of entries.

| Up to 245 with an hour to go, that's not to bad, I'm sure they're still going to be a few more within the last hour. |

Take a look at those numbers again there:
Member Challenge: Pet Portrait
Rules: Advanced Editing (Updated 1/3/05)
Submission: Mar. 28th - Apr. 3rd
Submissions: 248
I got mine in though my cat was NOT co-operating. She usually loves the camera and the studio area but today was not interested. So I had to go find another subject. :)

One you all haven't seen before I'm pretty sure :) |

Looks like I don't get to enter.
:(
My cat has refused to comply with my schedule, and every time I've tried to get some shots he's been all over the place and totally hyper.
Oh well.

| One of the pets I have, which I did not submit, is an Iguana. She is about 4 feet long and hates the camera. She is very, very beautiful and soooooo photogenic. But I have a feeling some guys will mark her down because she doesnt bark. And how can I do that to her, she has feelings you know. But I promise to share some pics someday. You will love her. |

Thanks to Clarmore and everyone else who clarified snapshot vs. portrait for me. I loved the different definitions with the same dog! He/She is a beauty!
I don't think this was an easy challenge, between trying to get my subjects to cooperate and working out the "Operator Errors" on Photoshop I spent a good part of the weekend on my entry. I learned a lot and hopefully PS will get easier over time.
I am really looking forward to seeing what the "Masters" at DPC have come up for this challenge! |
