Hy everybody!
One small question: does the name of the phobia realy need to appear in the title? I don't like the way it looks.....

Doesn't look like it from the challenge description. It says to put the phobia in the title or description of the image. We all know the voters don't read descriptions or at least not the entire description so you may get nailed for not having it in the title. ;)

Hey Bianca. It doesn't matteer to me if the exact phobia was in the title. However, it does have to relate and not bind to your image. For instance, one can call, I suppose, fear of heights "Vertigo". However, this is just my own opinion.

What are the chances that there will be a Phobia entry on "fear of entering photography contests?" (Late entrants -- feel free to steal this, I'm entering Shallow DOF.)

I was looking for the name for "fear of being photographed" but couldn't find one. There are plenty of people who have that one, though! (Photophobia is fear of light.)

Hey fotoman, yes, the irony is there, isn't it? I did celebrate having a technical challenge, but I just couldn't get inspired and came up with a great phobia shot and had to go with it. I was mostly rebelling against challenges which felt limiting, like Cheese. Soon we are going to see "Wooden box, less than 12 inches on a side" as a challenge. Phobia is fairly open though...

Most of the things I like to shoot with a shallow DOF are outside and we've had some wicked east winds here lately. East winds with temp in the 30s. Yuk. So it's freezing and nothing is holding still anyway. Phobia it is then...

(I did try some indoor stuff, but I thought it was pretty pedestrian so didn't pursue it.)

I'd assume that if you use the Latin for being photographed and append phobia after it, you'd be pretty close to the fear of being photographed.

Just call it "fear of being photographed". I wasn't aware we needed the latin name. Am I going to get voted down for not using it?

My phobia image has a shallow DOF :) I had a lot of fun (and pain) taking it. Keep them challenge suggestions coming!

I've seen photos voted down for less. One interpretation might be that all phobias must be from the list referenced in the challenge description.

12/20/2005 05:11:21 PM · #41

Well, I for one am going against that interpretation. My title will be in english and won't even be in "fear of X" format.

Just try to vote me down... :)

I am looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. I am working toooo much this month to spend much time on challenges, so I cheaped out and did shallow dof.
I love this phobia idea , tho! It will bring some very creative shots I am sure!
Good Luck!!

My shallow DOF picture is shot at F6.3

Yeah, but I think to achieve the desired effect for this challenge, you should have shot at a min. of f/22. :-P

I tried that, but my sensor is too dirty for basic editing photos ;)
