| I guess I just don't understand this challenge very well. A picture of glass doesn't seem that interesting. Does anyone have some example shots to prove me wrong? (I know, like stained glass in a church or something, but is there anything else?) |

Stained glass in a church is arguably not permitted under the rules' 'artwork' section.

I wouldn't bet on that.

The rest of the artwork statement is as follows.. "however creative depictions or interpretations are permissible. This includes, but is not limited to paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, and computer artwork"
Im sure I can think of quite a few ways to shoot a church window and include other elements to make it "a creative depiction".
Hope that helps if you decide to go that route for a photo. :)

alot of church window and church interiors have done well on this site. for example 2 of the top 3 shots in 'windows and doors'.

Don't know that it proves you wrong or anything, but here are a couple I like.

| Love the red wine shot Gordon, masterful as usual. I can picture it on a wall at a prestigous winery. |

well, you could aim for the dizzy heights of the early version of the
first one if you like. Took me about a week worth of experimentation to get from here to that other one.... |

Exactly. I mean, any architect could consider his/her building as "artwork", right? The design is probably copyrighted but we see people photogrpahing bulidings all the time, does it disqualify them? :) think not.
Heck, most wineglasses are PROBABLY copyrighted one way or another, or patented, or some of those BS regulations.

Here's something:
Your lenses are made of glass (well, some are made of Flourite i guess, for the ultra low dispersion lenses) or a bunch of glass.
Soooo, if you shoot through it, doesn't that mean you're using GLASS anyway? :) Heck, you can get LENS flares, which would show that you are indeed using glass to get the photos :)
A far more interesting challenge would be to take any photo you want WITHOUT using glass.

Get a DSLR, laser cut a hole in a lens cap, shoot away.
for directions
or ask scab-lab... |

I believe you can actually buy one that would be better than a home made one (smaller hole, custom drilled, etc.).... i saw it on Outdoor PHotographer magazine once.....

| What is the "ideal" diameter for the pinhole? I'm thinking of cheating by running a piece of imagesetter film with just a tiny clear spot... |

Hi General. here is a link to a site with some pinhole calculators and other info. Mr. Pinhole Site
You can buy premade pinhole bodycaps for DSLR's, but dont forget, since there is a hole in it, you can introduce dirt onto your cameras sensor. I have a Loreo Lens in a Cap. It is simple looking bodycap with a plastic lens in it. It stops down to F64 and kinda simulates a pinhole camera without the worry of letting dust into the camera. Here is the link for Loreo
