Challenge description: Capture the view of looking in from the outside.
Question: So, photographing (from the outside or inside) someone or something who is outside as he or she or it is looking inside? OR photographing the view of an inside from the perspective of someone or something on the outside?
Yet another chance for us all to ponder at (and possibly endlessly debate) the ambiguity of challenge wordings...

It shouldn't matter if take the image from the inside or the outside as long as you follow the description.
For example you could photograph from the inside of your house someone looking through your window or you could photograph that same person looking through your window but from the street outside both fit the challenge IMHO. |

Or the other option, no person, but just a shot of the view of an inside from a perspective that's clearly on the outside?

This is what I thought the challenge meant. Aren't these descriptions fun?!?!?!

Well, if I were to critique the description (and I wouldn't have the guts to really do this ;-)) I'd say many DPC descriptions tend to be specific enough to not be broad, but broad enough to not be specific.
I hope that made sense to not just me. If it did make sense to just me, then I'll apologize, and say that I'm used to that concept.

Nothing in the description requires a person. But a shot, from inside, of a person outside looking in, would seem to fit the challenge. And so, it would seem, would be a shot from outside of a person looking in. However, a shot of an interior as seen from outside (for example, a twilight shot showing an interior invitingly lit, through windows) would seem to be a prototypical response to the challenge, at least IMO. I'd expect this to end up as largely a specialized architectural shot challenge. I may be wrong, though. We'll see.
These puppies are fun, aren't they? Learn philosophy and semantics the easy, DPC way for only 25 dollars a year, such a bargain!

| On the outside looking in, is a track by Smokey Robinson and the miracles, if I'm correct, maybe a few boy bands would be in order, lol. |

Before my time, but I just had a look at it. Bets on someone submitting a puppy with its head inside an upturned container, as a tribute to Connie's blue-ribbon shot from Inside Looking Out?

I cant help myself but give some ideas...I not to enthused about the last 3-4 challenges so I might as well give others some ideas.
Jail.....either looking outside into a jail cell. Or looking at prisoners through some chainlink/barbed wire fencing.
Could also do the same thing in a mental instituion. I have been to a VA one (on the inside) and it was pretty creepy.
Just my weird idea's. |

For some previous challenge i tried the pic of a jail, a pa state pen. I was on the public road near the back gate, pulled over to try and the the sign in teh foregroud the building in the bg...a guard like official person was there in about 35 seconds and told me no pics allowed. please leave.
so much for that idea!

One of the first things that came to mind when I saw this challenge was not so much physical as it was an ideal, like a kid being cast "out" and wanting so much to be "in". "In" could mean many things like a social club or group, one of the "cool, hip, etc..." ones - you know, on the outside looking in! ;^)

Exactly, there doesn't need to be a physical barrier.

A fascinating challenge with several good interpretations:
First impression: Two different states, two different conditions. This bring contrastic situations, the poor looking into the rich, the lost looking at the light, the hungry looking into a restaurant and on and on.
In its literal sense voyerism but then it better be a pretty girl, lol.
No, I think of it more as contrastic states rather then simply looking in. The looker needs a hint of his/her condition to drive the point home. |
