i don't think adding text post-capture is OK even in Expert... see the You May Not section of rules.

that doesn't stop you from actually photographing the text and then blending it in, just can't type it in during post-processing



Aah. Thank you. I don't know why I didn't read that rule. No text.

So lets have the SC chime in on a few of these...

Single image, with an overlay of an envelope. I didn't take the envelope picture. Legal?

Single image, with an overlay of concrete. I didn't take the concrete picture. Legal?

Single image, with bubbles added using photoshop. Legal?

Single image, overlay is using a planet brush. Legal?

eta: one more... Harry's filters on a single image (which just added the colors). Heavy vignette with filterforge.


Any answers to these specific queries?

as the general said for an informal opinion submit a ticket, they arent going to be called out on the forum answering mass request or they'd have even less time than they already do

I would have thought that responding to these in the forums would save getting a whole bunch of individual tickets.

How about Filter Forge frame in expert?

How about brushes, I have a set of bird and tree brushes. I might want to use one on my entry. I'm afraid I don't have time for a ticket. If anyone knows that this will be a DQ let me know as I can easily omit...even though it would add to the grunginess.

Thanks!

I was wondering about textures... it says they can be from any date if they are only textures... but I assume we have to have taken them (not downloaded them from a tutorial or package), right?

Regardless, I'm in (wow) with 100% taken photos. My first pass was a montage of images, but then looked at the Grunge I challenge and those appeared to be not that, so I changed... We shall see. :)

The way I understand it, these are considered clip art, and therefore not legal.

No, textures can be from outside sources (download) as long as you have permission to use them in your image.

My feeling (since that's what Grunge music is about) is to look at the album art of Grunge bands where everything from a rubber ducky on the rear cover of "Incesticide" to the the double exposed image on the cover of "Dirt" might serve as examples. How about a three legged dog ("Alice in Chains")? Subject matter is important but processing (or lack thereof) even more so. Textures or overlays? I'm still looking for some in original album art. Such artifacts seem to be an extension of certain photographic styles into the Grunge world but don't actually seem to apply to "Grunge" per se. Without content that is expressive, gritty, elemental and/or emotive, textures will seem nothing more than superfluous artifacts.

grunge/grənj/
Noun:
1 Grime; dirt.
2 A style of rock music characterized by a raucous guitar sound and lazy vocal delivery.

Interesting. I was busy raising babies in the 90s and never knew the second definition.

I don't think cover art of grunge bands is the delineation of what qualifies as grunge photography. The basic sound and philosophy of grunge music have developed and equivalent visual aesthetic that has nothing to do with what Mudhoney had on their CDs

*sigh* I thought this challenge was meant to be about the grunge movement, not grunge band album art. And if memory serves right, that winged image on the first (?) Nirvana cover was not a grungy image at all.

Grunge style of photography. Has nothing to do with music or bands.

Does "Grunge photography" have to have "grungy" textures/overlays then to qualify as such?

Ha! The guy who designed the Mudhoney album covers (Ed Fotheringham) used to be my neighbor. I still see him now and then, and he still has a "Dead Kennedys" decal on the back of his Prius- given to him yours truly ;)

BTW- I did a little bit of shooting for this challenge last night after work. Not sure I will find time to edit what I shot and post it, but a few people passing by while I was shooting seemed disgusted by the scene- so maybe I was onto something good? LOL!
