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.

Upon carefully re-reading the challenge description, I'd agree that it's probably legal. But, just to play devil's advocate, the Advanced Editing rules do state that "...using any editing tools to duplicate...major elements of your photograph is not permitted". Technically, three different crops of the same image could duplicate a major element.

Again, just playing devil's advocate. I highly doubt that anyone would be disqualified for this, given the extenuating circumstances of a triptych challenge...

I agree. That would be ludicrous. I'm expecting to see a number of entries that show 3 variations on a single image.

what I mean is instead of 3 panels, next to each other, side by side on one frame. Can there be one single frame, no panels, with three seperate layers within the frame showing the movement of the subject.

I'm confused as well, it sounds like you would be stacking 3 images on top of each other? How would you see this? I'm pretty sure the whole jest of riptych is the 3 images in 3 panels. Curious to see what you mean.

Like this........



Is this legal??

Not panels, but layers!

I don't think it would be legal, since the rules specifically say to "Create an entry consisting of three panels..."

Just my opinion...

You could also take 3 seperate photo's of the crops you have in mind. :)

Oh I see now. Not sure but very cool image, I would do a 3 panel anyway and have the first him taking off then the second of him in the air and the 3rd the landing. I think that would be a cool triptych.

I'm really looking forward to this one. My initial thought, to find a particular three-way candid won't be easy but I have a straightforward scenic back-up

Don't the photos still have to be taken in the time frame of the challenge. So you could not use a spring, summer and fall.

Dang. Scratch that idea from my list.

Rikki ... thank you .. yes I do .. but I tried just keeping it simple for my first attempt .. I wondered about that border too so thanks for confirming I shouldn't have used it.

Lepidus .. You are safe .. I have no intention of using fall shots .. not sure I will enter until I perfect my own talents at doing this :)
11/07/2005 11:47:58 PM · #44
Kat: No other way to perfect your images than posting them here and asking for comments :) I've learned so much just by doing what you're doing. Hehehehe. My first few challenges are testament to that :)
11/07/2005 11:51:04 PM · #45
Rikki .. my first challenge bombed .. my 2nd one did pretty well .. I am happy for the comments when I try something new, they definately help me to do it better the next time for sure!!!

When I first read this I thought you were refering to something like this

but done in PP instead of printing it out first. I remember a different family portrait that was done one inside the other, largest to smallest -- but I wasn't able to find it.

Ok one more time for the dummies (me) Have I got this right?

The image must be:


File Size: No larger than 150 KB (153,600 bytes).
Dimension: No dimension may be shorter than 160 pixels or longer than 640 pixels.

This includes whatever frame/ border that you use.

Correct. In this case it applies to the combination of all 3 images.

Would this one fit the triptych definition with the overlapping photos (without the PS photo corners)
I found it in the triptych gallery here on DPC but it was entered in the "multi-image composition" challenge

Instead of three panels, can the frame be stitched together from three pictures?
