However, it is in the special rules section, so it would no longer be 'straying from the descritpion', it would be violating the rules if you did not 'reshoot one of your own entries'. I would think that if it appeared as though you did not attempt to reshoot one of your own past entries, it would be DQ, and I would vote as such. I predict some after the challenge DQs on this one for this reason.


Are you guys gonna go through all the entries and double check the original entries? Can it be an entry that was DQed?

And I'm assuming that since advanced editing rules apply, we can't redo any of the entries that had special editing rules...?

Legally speaking, in order not to be DQd (the word 'must' in the additional rules), it has to be based on one of your own previously submitted photos, and it must be taken this week. The ribbon-winning or not is mentioned in the challenge description - and that has always been subject to free interpretation (2s exposure, 4-5am etc.)

there are NO posted special rules related to how to reshoot your own image. the challenge description should help guide the voters, but straying from the description is NOT a dq'able offense.

disagree, HB...

"Your entry must be taken this week and be a reshoot of one of your own entries."

it would be hard to dq anything that remotely resembles the original entry.

i would suggest that the shooter include in the photog notes 'how' they came up with the new shot, and that the SC take that into consideration before after-the-fact dq'ing images...

I think that we've even discussed the rubber ducky challenge (and that description was as clear as a mountain stream).
:-)

Edit to add: And yes, there were DQs then!

You wouldn't be DQ'd for using a ribbon-winning shot, but the voters would likely recognize the entry and clobber you for not meeting the challenge. Either way, it would be foolish to try it IMO.
05/30/2006 11:08:08 AM · #57
But they shouldn't clobber you since it could have been your entry from the deja vu challenge...or just another ribbon-winner copy that you did. Right? ;)

[un]fortunately, I don't have that problem ;)

I stand corrected, mk has a point: I've done these two ribbons:


and


Both are mine, and far from ribbons...

Not everyone votes (or thinks) the same way. If it looks like a past ribbon winner, I'd certainly expect some DNMC votes.

For those who want to notify voters of your original, you could title the shot anything you want and then put the photo ID in parenthasis.

Example:

Title: "I luv Nikon (334786)"

With only a little difficulty, people could come up with this...

1. So much for anonymity
2. Limiting the entries to non-ribboning shots will seriously restrict Kiwiness' options.


And yours as well! :P

If you decide to reshoot that, may I suggest a spray-on tan and perhaps a belly button ring ;-P

oooo I know what to do, had that in mind the whole time..

Love this challenge! :D

I'm gonna reshoot the exact same thing - it's been a couple of years (have I been here that long?) - i have learned a lot, have better equipment (one of the issues with the original image was an equipment limitation) and the feedback on the image is consistent and accurate.

I am so psyched - I thought about reshooting it for fun anyway, just to see if I have improved as much as I think I have.

This may be my most ribbon worthy entry ever.

That's exatly my thought too Larus. It should remain anonymous. I think most of us are honest enough that they will follow suit and not enter something that is not an improvement of an old entry.

Which is why I specifically stated that " I would think that IF IT APPEARED as though you did not attempt to reshoot one of your own past entries..." emphasis caps added.
For example, if a person has only entered portraits in the challenges, and their 'take two' entry is a landscape, with no people...we have a problem. Obviously it takes common sense.

I've been talking about how much I want to reshoot a particular photo (is it really an outtake to discuss it if it's going to be such an obvious repeat?) so this is the perfect opportunity to apply all my new tricks!
05/30/2006 04:25:41 PM · #69
So can I redo a shot that got disqualified? (taking care, of course, toavoid the actions that got me disqualified the first time.)
05/30/2006 04:27:30 PM · #70
Woo hoo, I got in FIRST... :-) Let's hope it stays that way ... hee hee

I don't think it can remain anonymous. I've only been around a couple of months and there are only 2 or 3 that could even be redone. Some can't - moment gone forever, not in the same place, etc. This challenge is limited to only those shots that can be reproduced - portraits, studio set ups, still lifes, etc. Candids, photojounalism, and others that require capturing a specific moment will be considerably more difficult.

Also, I was considering taking a shot that scored fairly high, and applying a critique (from Larus, BTW) and see if I can improve the score and placement.

Would this not be appropiate for this challenge?

Especially since mine will probably be redone from a bygone era with a substantially different population : )

I'm gonna redo this one, this time using more expensive paper...
Blue ribbon here I cometh! :p

Lucky entry #13. I don't think I've entered this early in a while. My choice was fairly obvious to me and I feel that the new shot gives the old one a real run for the money. I'm please to see how much my PP skill has increased over even 6 months. DPC has taught me so much. I look at photos from even 2 years ago and just cringe. I'm excited to see where I'll be in another 2 years.
05/31/2006 08:08:20 PM · #75
I have a couple of ideas from earlier challenges but have been challenged to redo a shot where there are no comments suggesting improvement. I know I can improve the image but would this be dq'd after the challenge?
