Out of curiosity, if the three panes of the triptych are cut from the same image, do they have to be displayed in the same physical relationship they are in the original? For instance, if one was to crop from the top left, the bottom left and the center right, would placing them side by side fall foul of the 'moving major elements' clause or are each panels to be considered seperately?

The way I read the rules, you are allowed to use three different shots. If that is the case, I do not see why you couldn't use three different crops of the same photograph and arrange them as you see fit! But, I'm not S/C or D/L so take it with a grain of salt. :-) |

The way I understand it, that would be considered "moving major elements." If you are going to use only one photo for the triptych, then I like to think of it as taking your photo, cropping it how you want, and then applying a triptych border.
For example:

Those are my thoughts as well, but...as you say, I'm not the one's in charge.
I don't have anything in mind that would call this into play, just curious and wanted to get the question answered early.

and do they have to be rectangular in shape like image borders or could you have a pie or three images just randomly situated. |

Take a look here:gallery
I think that everything is good to go. Of course, voters will ultimately decide what is triptych and what is not... |

OOOOhhhhh Sure! ONE day after I take what clearly would've been the winning shot!
LOL! |

This is from the Gallery linked above. It is a good example of what I'm asking about -- assuming it is composed of different crops from the same image (don't know if it was or not).

You probably gave them the idea -- either that or Kiwinesses' cubes. :D
But don't feel too bad, you are in the running for a much more rare prize than a mere ribbon.

This challenge should be a lot of fun. Triptychs rock!
I think that we should be allowed to take one photo and crop it 3 different ways such that the resulting panes of the triptych are NOT in the same original physical relationship to each other. I think that that would still be in the spirit of the challenge.
Just my opinion, of course...

Just remember, Triptychs should NOT be confused with Sliptychs!

Your submission does not need to contain exif info. You only need to worry about exif info if you're asked to send your orignals to SC for review. If this happens, you'll simply have to send in your three original files (with exif info intact) along with your editing steps. |

So take three shots of the same thing, and then crop each as you'd like. as long as the subject holds still it will be the same as taking one shot and useing 3 crops of it. but with three images you get three images' exif and stay within the rules wihout worry.

remeber you still only have total 640 pixels to play with
each element is going to have to be low res

Is everyone doing the cut manually or does anyone have a triptychs action or program? |

So three different photos are allowed then? Will this be allowed?

Again, it is all in the extra rules:
quote:
Extra Rules: You may use up to three photographs for this challenge. However, all other rules still apply.
So, you may take one photo, two, or three photos. Arrange them the way you want to, and make sure you follow the advanced rules for each of the three parts of your final submission. Then there won't be any grounds for a DQ.
Now, if your image is not something others like, your score will suffer.
rikki11, your example has added text. So, it is a guaranteed DQ. |

yes - except for the added text

Sure, but wouldn't it be nice to go out on a photoshoot without having to take three pictures of everything? :) |

I'm curious as to how to get the triptych frame. Can we overlay a pre-made frame? Or do have to stich the 3 shots together? I would assume, since we can use 3 pics, that we would have some sort of leeway here. |

I don't see any limitations on the "framing" at all. Borders are always allowed, three images make this submission, each image can be bordered, together they combine to be what you want, border-wise...

By making 3 crops you're creating 3 separate images. I don't see anyway recombining them out-of-order or out-of-alignment could be considered "illegal" under the challenge description given.

does it have to be 3 panels, or can it be three layers on one frame as well?
