Challenge Details: Take a photograph that might give your viewer a glimpse of the future.
Challenge Type: Members Challenge
Extra Rules: There are NO editing restrictions and NO date restrictions for this challenge. The sections "Post-shot Adjustments" and "Exposure Date" are not will not be considered for disqualification. This is basically no-holds-barred, so make it a good one!


So, for the Future challenge, I can use a photo I took in the past. How ironic.

Will winners get a ribbon like in the normal challenges?

Yes. The only difference is that any requests to DQ for editing or date violations will not be considered for this challenge.

So can you make a composite? I am assuming yes.

i like the idea of representing the future but i'm not too sure about getting rid of date restrictions.

Great!

I'm looking backward to this. I've just been to what you now call the future (my current past) and returned (started) with a whole BrainStickâ„¢ full of Blinkographs.

No damned backwards compatible conversion hardware here though so I'll have to make something up using hardware from the past (present day) such as my antique Sony DSCF717.

Oh yes.

wait.. did you say that in the past or in the future? I think there is a paradox here.
 07/31/2003 12:49:41 PM · #11
Yes. You would get the ribbon sometime "in the future" ;)

I don't really understand the significance of the 'no date restrictions' here either. The only thing that would allow someone to do is use a photo that they may already have in their collection somewhere.

I have, in the past, been an advocate of a 'submit your best photo' challenge where there would be no date restriction. It would be an open challenge instead of a themed challenge.

perhaps someone has a really old photo they want to superimpose over a new photo showing a length of time

I can only see the no date restriction as making it a little unfair for those that don't have a lot of old files. I presume it still has to be a digital photo, or does no holds barred mean that it could be scanned?

It still needs to be a digital photograph. That's the site's name. ;-)

Is it acceptable to take a photo with the lens cap on (resulting in totally black frame), make this the background layer, and then layer-on nothing but non-photographic elements (such as a 3D scene rendered in LightWave?) It seems to me that it would be, but want to double-check.

Also, on a related note, since this is "no holds barred", does the photo have to have been taken by you? Or can you look through images taken by friends and family? What about in relation to the above, where you take a photograph that isn't yours (with permission of course) and layer it in as the "primary" subject? (that is, augmenting a "lens cap" shot with a totally different picture because editing is allowed.)

Just trying to understand what, if any, boundaries exist when the "edit as much as you want" rule is not in play.

This is a great example of the difference between an 'anything goes' challenge and the sort of photofinishing that was being argued about a few weeks ago - I'd still like to see an unlimited editing to produce a good photograph challenge - we haven't had one of those yet. They've all been really limited editing or anything goes like this one.
