Only kidding with the subject...

Have a question though, if I took a picture, heavily modified it, printed it out, then re-photographed it say in an interesting location, or set fire to it and took a picture, is this still a resonable entry ?

I think the creativity areas of my brain have been working overtime and have jumped tracks, but I just wondered if this kind of thing would
be a resonable entry or would people feel it was not in the spirit of the challenges ? Maybe I should try it and see how it goes.

what you suggest, while certainly creative and demented, IMHO falls outside of the spirit of this site, which is to allow people to work unencumbered, and in a short time frame on how MUCH you can do with the ninja-like ascetic discipline of only (or now primarily) aperatures and shutterspeeds.

but you already knew that's how I felt ;)

Never experienced ninja-like ascetic discipline. Is it legal ?


Actually I think this would be less trouble than the entry I did for the stop motion challenge - you should have seen the amount of electronics design and stuff I went through to decide that I couldn't make a decent timer trigger for my flash and then started running around doing something else, which involved the camera on a tripod, starting the timer and running in front of the camera to start doing something interesting enough to catch. Repeat about 100 times.

Maybe I'll just try this and see what the voters think of it.

Check out the new section in the rules about art. So long as the art itself does not constitute the entirety of the subject (and you have permission to photograph the art... in your case, not a problem), I see no problem with a submission like this. Hopefully the entirety of the subject clause stands for itself.

Seems resonable the few ideas I have all involve doing something to it afterwards, not just printing it and making a 'clean' photograph of it.

So it would be the print, plus some modifications/ other stuff that would be photographed. It wouldn't just be a 'scan' of the first print/artwork.

Who knows, it'll probably look terrible anyway - just trying to explore some more creative avenues.
