Must all the photos used be taken within the challenge dates???
One week is not much of history, unless most triptych are action...
The regulation size mentioned by jgal is also worth noting.

Can the administrator advise?

boy, these are great examples on this project, now help! I have photo pro 7, I have figured out how to make a multimage picture, but it won't let me file it so it can be opened in ducuments, only on the multiimage file. what is the deal, I see nothing in the file but, save as, that puts it in the multiimage file only, and can only open it in there, so I know I won't be able to post it.

Here is an example of triptych:



I made this at Christmas

The rules are clear that the images are to be taken within the submission dates. I think the size issue is more interesting and less clear.

Not an official official answer, but I asked about changing the size issues, and I doubt it is going to happen for a few reasons:

1/ the size is limited to save server bandwidth, we've already switched
start dates because of this - larger images would make things worse.
Yes we could keep the 150k limit and up the width restrictions, but see point 2.

2/ We have already had 9 entries and changing the rules mid challenge is not particularly fair.

3/ you can already submit 3, 640x213 sized images. Up'ing the maximum side size to 800 pixels only changes this to something like 640x260, not exactly a stunning size difference. Less once you add borders/ layout.

Larger photos would be harder to view on a 17" monitor, also. I like them the size we have. If you'll look at the examples, you'll see they'll be o.k. for the challenge, and can be made larger for prints.

So, each exposure within the composition can be that size?

each exposure within the composition can be whatever size you want it to be.. but the full result cannot exceed 640 pixels on either side, nor can it be over 150k, just like every other challenge.

What gordon was saying is that if you divided up the maximum size of 640x640 into three equally sized pictures to make your triptych, each of those pictures could be 640x213.

How's this photo? I'm not a member so I can't enter the challenge.I took these Pics just the other day, and thought I would see how they turned out as Triptych. Any comments?

I hope this link works. How do you get a Photo to appear in the thread?

Link not working...
Try this then cut and paste the following adress:

I see, thanks.

fiver - The concept is certainly good for a triptych. The shots themselves suffer somewhat from a lack of clarity. I might have experimented with some different subject placements/crops to add to the uniqueness (such as place starts in bottom left and moves to top right or something). I especially like the framing of the top shot though.
Hope that helps. = )

Thanks. The framing is mostly by accedent. I was trying out the Burst mode on my Camera for the first time. Doesn't seem fast enough (but maybe I had it set up wrong). It is harder than I thought to pan and tilt the camera following a low flying plane. ;o)

Also because of the size restriction the three images had to be very small. I knew I wanted as much of the wingspan as possible in the last shot and I wanted some of the blue space behind the tail. I used that template to set the other two image sizes exacly the same. then scaled them all down to fit in the 640 with the boarder to tie them together.

I like how the wisps of clouds seem to flow across the three images. Again by accedent.

The bottoms of some of the planes I saw are filthy. Don't they every clean that side?
