| Description: Let's not worry about "pretty" photos. Let's be documentarians. Document something that you think people may not know. If need be, use more than one photo (a polyptych, triptych, or quadriptych) to get the idea across. |

This is what 1.68 inches of rain does, when you haven't had a monsoon in 2 years. In 3 days, we beat the whole of 2020 in rain fall! And that was a 15 foot deep river bed! The concret side on the right is the edge of the gully and the first line of brown, green reeds and tree is the other edge!

Not a problem because apparently the photo was uploaded yesterday, before the challenge was announced.

LOL, bless. It would have been DQ'd anyways. That is 5 shots stitched together, shot with a 10mm. That is how flipping wide it is. The gully/river bed is 15 feet deep, the bridge is 25 feet, we had about 2-5 feet left of the bridge before it hit the underside of the bridge. It broke the banks on both sides by 1/2 mile each side. Sooooooooooooo many Swift Water rescues this year. And most of them where not the "Stupid Motorist Law" one's. It can rain 20 miles away, and be perfectly dry where we are, then a mountain of water comes along. I have video this year of a quick flash flood as well.
This is the bridge further down the road, about 3 miles away. the underside of the bridge/pillars are 20 feet tall,
.
That arrow is my house, and that is how far up the flood plain it came, this was taken on the other side of the 'creek' about 1.2 miles away from the other side.
It is really amazing what so little rain can do in the desert.

You can legally enter a stitched panoramic shot in Standard and Extended challenges. :-) |

See, this is where I get my 2 brain cells confused. I could stitch a photo together, of different photos that show different landscapes (but still the same landscape) or I can stack photos for Astro photos which have the stars moving in circles, but you can not stack a lightning shot of the same landscape/cloud but with different lightning moving around with shots all taken in 30 seconds.
I lost my 3rd brain cell trying to figure out why that is not allowed in Standard if Astro photography is allowed, as it is basically the same thing.

You have one more brain cell than I do. You'll have to ask Robert ( Bear_Music) about that one - he handles all of the tough questions. :-) |

Between our brain cells together, we could take over the world! =P
I shot a message to him. I understand the concept that you stack or HDR etc and a swan moves in and sits in photo on one shot and that is a no no, as the scene has changed. But, if you can do astro and stack 10-20 photos for circle streaks or Milky Way shots, or stitch a panorama together, or take a photo , walk away for 10 mins, then take another photo of same thing and it is legal, then the line seems a bit blurry to me.
See I am thinking again, lost another 1/4 brain cell |

There's a slippery slope there, sadly :-( The "prototype" of what we don't want in Standard is a composite made with the camera on a tripod where a specific person is placed in a different place for each exposure and they are all blended together. That's expert editing, taking multiple, different images of the exact same thing except something is changing in each exposure. Think W/A shot of a living room with your son in front of the TV, standing on his head in the middle of the floor, asleep on the couch, etc etc. That's an expert editing composite.
Panos are something different: they allow you to render a wider scene than your lens can cover.
Your lightning shot, as described, involves cherry-picking a bunch of different pictures that each have different sky effects and merging them into a single composite. No can do in Standard. |
