DNMC is not grounds for DQ... So they just went with a slow lens (presumably) knowing it wouldn't be caught in the voting phase.

Maybe sometime we should have a challenge with specified aperture limits, at either the wide or closed end of one's camera's capabilities.

Because (until now) "DNMC" was not grounds for DQ.

Because it was not stipulated to be a DQable offence....but it is now! We can't change the rules of the past...but we can change the rules of the future.

Once I took a 1 second exposure and in the exif it read 0.77 seconds. I wonder if that counts! hahah.

No, there's a special rule for this challenge. The last time a "time" challenge ran, it only had to look like 2 seconds. This one has to BE exactly 1 second.

It is if it is posted as a "special extra rule" with the little flag icon -- it applies to this challenge only.

"Extra Rules: This time, your entry will be disqualified if you do not use shutter speed of 1 second. "

NICE!

I guess I did not see the diff with the old description of

Description
Take a photograph using a shutter speed of exactly 2 seconds

and the new one of:

Challenge Details: Take a photograph using a shutter speed of exactly 1 seconds.

Ah, I'm still pretty new at this--so I give people the benefit of the doubt. I assume that their photos meet the challenge (even if it's through someone's warped point of view :) But having a first place completely ignore the challenge description boggles my mind. Oh well, I'll also return money if they give me too much change.

That little qualifier of "exactly" should probably answer your question.

No really. Mine did say 0.77 seconds at a 1 second setting. Weird but I will see if it happens again.

I see a lot of smooth water pictures in this one. Ecchhhh.

Yah... But you know, I have *set* a shutter speed of 1 second and had the EXIF show .997 seconds, or something like that. Threw me for a loop when I saw that... I wonder if there's gonna be a % deviation allowed? Like, anything between 1.025 and .975 is considered "1 second"? I'm not real worried about it, just curious...
