| I would like to see more Challenges straight from the camera with a theme, such as Landscape/Straight From the Camera, in order to see how the Photoshop wizards stack up against us "What's a burned Dodge have to do with photography?" folks. |

Isn't this more of a challenge suggestion than a rules rewrite suggestion though? |

How many times have you taken a photo that you really like and then a challenge is announced which would fit that photo perfectly? But, darn it, you took the photo too soon!

Now there would be a two week window; still announce a challenge every week so there are the same number of challenges.
Any thoughts, pro or con? |
then it is not really a challenge. |
Why not? What's wrong if you could submit your best photograph taken on the beach in 2 weeks instead of one?
It would also help in cases where you return from a vacation and find that the submission deadline just passed by.

| I'm just going to throw my support in for allowing users to clone out sensor dust for basic challenges as well. |

The point is you're given an assignment and then you go out and shoot, not turn in something already completed. Sure people submit stuff that was taken within the time period and not shot specifically for the challenge but that's not what the challenges are really about. If it was about that it wouldn't be called challenge but rather best photo contest or similar.

Perspective adjustments in Basic. After all, this is something that could have been performed in-camera, even in a film camera, if one had the $$$ for tilt&shift lenses or bellows.

I absolutely assure you, if the rules did not have a date stamp on them my average would be one HELL of a lot higher :-) That's the whole point of the challenge; they give us an assignment, we go out and shoot for it. I have got a LOT of really nice images I could mine for challenge relevance otherwise :-)

What an odd reasoning. You can't add a lens flare or or fisheye effect just because it COULD be done in camera if you had different equipment. By that reasoning, I should be allowed to stay at the Oval Office because I COULD be president if I had the $$$ for a big campaign. :-/ |

I'm not asking to do-away with the date requirement, just to relax it a bit more. (Not just the free studies). i.e. Regularly have a 2 to 3 week submission window.

And my photos should all win blue ribbons because my camera could have taken a good photo (if used by someone else). |

While you're at it, add in a space shuttle background, because you could have gone to space to take your picture too. |

The reason for my reasoning is the rules state that any operations performed in-camera are valid, even under the Basic rules. Anyway, I'm not talking about adding any effects here, but just performing a correction, applied to the entire image. Hardly more involved than rotation or crop and far less pixel modifying than the allowed Gaussian blur and USM.

I think we should be able to clone out sensor dust for Basic rules because I could have cleaned my sensor, LOL.

| i've never marked a photo down in basic for a little sesor dust - do people actually do that? Seems silly to me. |

I would HATE this. I don't think I could stand a slower roll-over of challenges. It would mean a lot less challenges, and more waiting. I think a week is more than enough time to get a shot. If I submit a shot half way through the first week, I still have to wait 10 or 11 days until it goes to voting? That's too long. Maybe once in a while to see an extra challenge with longer submit period, but definately not all the time.

Can someone on the SC give us a hint when the new rules will be ready? Every time I see this thread pop up I am expecting a big announcement... but sadly, no, it is just another random comment like this one.

Perhaps the SC has determined that a rewrite is not necessary at this time.

| Make every Challenge a "Straight from the Camera" type scenario, that would seperate the photographers from the PP wizards. By the way, my Straight From the Camera submission got slammed! |

1) IMHO: Some of us members (large multitudes), do work at regular 40-HR/week day-jobs that are not as Photographers. The most extensive/consecutive time we have for shooting is Saturday-and-Sunday.
This leaves Monday-and-Tuesday for Post-Processing and submitting images.
The Members-Challenges are the ones that should be due TUESDAY-night.
2) Try an "online Survey" or Voting for new policies.
Members should have some privileges in being heard.
Those are the happiest kind. |
