| okay, maybe this is what they mean. You the photographer/camera should be upside down. So should your subject, then rotate to where they are rightside up. for ex. have your camera upside down, have your subject upside down and then put your photo on the computer and turn it 180 degrees to where they are up the right way and the background is upside down. |

Right, it should be like Shadowi6 said. Rotate it 180 and then it fits the challenge. |
My take after reading it is...The subject should be upside down in the submission. The subject should be right side up while you're shooting upside down.
I could see how it could be your way too, but the first sentence is talking about how you should take the photo, I would assume the second sentence would also be talking about taking the photo. Not the submiting of the photo. |

Let's just simplify it:
Take a photo where your subject appears to be right side up but the background is upside down. |

I still don't read it that way. But I understand why it might be asking us to do that. |

I think you do. You said exactly the same thing in this statement without reference to the background. I think you've made an assumption that once you're down you have to rotate the image 180 degrees.
kyebosh's statement ... My take after reading it is...The subject should be upside down in the submission. The subject should be right side up while you're shooting upside down. |

Hire a model, a man. Get him naked and put him stand on his hands. Put some fancy lights and make some fancy shadows. Take a picture, no, not his back. Put it on photoshop, play with levels and curves and convert it to black and white by using channel mixer. Crop, flip the shot vertically and resize so that image size is smaller than 150 kb. Title it "Gravity" and submit it to DPC.com. Wait for votes.
I guess it'll get DQed, but not DNMCed.

an upside down photo of a boxer throwing a hook to the right side of his opponents head, or something similar should work.

SC doesn't set the challenges. They are suggested by the users of the site.
What would be nice would be if the person who suggested the challenge would clarify. Though, they're probably getting a kick out of the discussion and confusion. |

ok....Now I am really ticked! I read the original rules, which clearly stated (I am not sure what all the whining was about) that the camera had to be upside down while the image was taken, and the subject had to be rightside up when the picture was taken. This would mean an upside down picture when viewed, which was taken of a subject that was right side up. not just rotated in photoshop! It really was not very hard to understand.
So yesterday and today I went wildlife shooting....with an upside down camera! That is not easy to do with a dslr, but I got some decent shots, which I was sure would be unique, and was ready to enter the challenge.
Now the rules get changed..after lots of us who are not whiners went out and shot for the challenge...leaving the way that I took my photos to be way more difficult than just flipping the stupid image in photoshop like everyone will do now. That is totally not fair!
Either put the challenge back to what it was in the beginning, or cancel the damn thing altogether because this has become a total cluster____!
This is totally, completely a bunch garbage started by folks that cannot understand instructions or simply wanted it to be easier.
Please advise asap. If this is not changed I will be re-considering my membership. No real organization would change the rules mid-stream. That is so not fair to those who were doing it the right way to begin with.

And at what time were the rules changed?????? Should I have to check the boards for every challenge before I go out to shoot for it, just in case it has a major rule change after the challenge is 70% over time wise? |

| Captured my upside down/ right side up image today. Upon returning home and going to the DPChallenge website, I see the description of the challenge has changed (as in "gutted"). Not able to re-shoot this between now and Tuesday night ... my upside down/right side up subject image will have to do. Frankly, I'm a little bit perturbed (but I'll get over it), because now there will be a whole group of voters who will be quick to mark mine dnmc because it only meets the original challenge description and some will not "remember" what that was. Oh well! Who cares! I sure like my image capture. The original challenge description was unique and the effort produced a stunning result. We'll see how it does... |

Just for the record. The rules were never changed.
The description of the topic was removed because of the amount of confusion it was causing. If you shot based on the original description then it still meets the challenge without the description (my opinion anyway).
I'm sure the originator of the challenge is having a good laugh over this one. |

Possibly, the original challenge description should be returned, out of fairness. Sure, go ahead and liberalize the description, if some people cannot understand plain English. But, the new description suggests "upside down". My image subject is right-side up, taken with a camera upside down. The subject is clearly upside down, but the orientation is 180 degrees. So, for those voters who show up to vote, but weren't conscious during the original challenge announcement, I'd suggest an addendum to the challenge..... just out of fairness and to fend off the now unfair DMNC! |

Would everyone stop whinging? The description was simplified. Get over it and get out there and get a photo if you haven't already done so. Sheez!!
