The voters can obviously see if it DNMC (unlike the 2 second challenge) and vote accordingly.


Is a yellowy-orange acceptable? :P

Maybe it looks yellow on my monitor.

Wait, wait... isn't yellow. It's goldish-orangey. Sorry!

In the spirit of the 2 second challenge furor, let's develop a precise definiton of what exactly yellow is and how it should be defined for the challenge.

Should "yellow" be defined as a specific range of colors within the s-RGB gamut, a range of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum or is there some other acceptable metric that would better define "yellow"? Should there also be a requirement for that defined "yellow" to comprise a certain percentage of the image?

Let's set up some boundaries now so that the rules can be re-written in time to now have DQ's for not meeting the challenge.

Of course it is the same as the 2 second challenge.

What's "yellow" to you, may be more green or orange to me and will be a DNMC according to me. Throw in variation due to monitor calibration (or lack thereof) and it's really wide open.

I just want to get it nailed down precisely so that everyone knows what "yellow" is according to DPC.

I could shoot a photo in Yellowstone for this...

I would consider this challenge description to be informative and therefore open to interpretation (and potential low votes from voters).

Yet another reason for clarifying what is and is not acceptable as "Yellow". Are words/places/things that have "Yellow" in their name acceptable, even if the thing itself does not meet the definition of "yellow" as defined at DPC?

Oh God! Cheese is yellow!

Yeah its perfect for him, I would be scared.

it's a broad challenge. It doesn't say color, words or anything. It just says yellow, so it's all encompassing to me.

I don't think the world is ready for that -- but for whatever strange reason it did just give me a (mostly un-related) fine yellow idea!

I am really new here, and the reason I joined is for the learning experience...(and I am very competitive). I have seen so much in separate threads where so many people read soooooo much between the lines in the descriptions, that challenges turn into something that it is not.!!!
I listened to those threads so much that I entered into the 2 second challenge thinking that it had to capture movement of some sort; so that it what I shot. Didn't expect much from it (which is what I got), but I learned a lot about my camera, techniques and my abilities with it.
In this challenge...it says "YELLOW". To me, that means your photo should be of something "YELLOW", or a composition showing the COLOR yellow.

To mention another color...GREEN...that is what I am, and for us newcomers, it's hard to figure out what it is that the "voters" are looking for in order to be fairly scored in their attempt to "meet the challenge".

Having said that, I'm off to shoot for my challenge, which IS indeed,
about the COLOR yellow.

Cool! It's a free-study.

BTW, I'm not serious about any of this DNMC stuff. I'm just doing it to mock the DNMC Nazis.

I have created the ultimate Yellow image. It rivals all of my previous entries. When you see it, you see it, you'll be overwelmed with the cheerful glow of golden tones which will sing to your soul.

Those who know me see me as a humble, quiet woman who rarely brings attention to herself. Today that changes with an entry that will gladden the heart, joy to the sad, and peace to all who see it.

Get ready for the image of the century. It's coming to DPC.

Canon 20D - Beware!!!
