Well I shot 183 pics for this challenge, processed about 20 of them, settled on three, worked them and got one. But now I am not sure how it is in reality. I am going blind and am seeing spots before my eyes from all the white processing. All my lights seem dim, all the screens seem dark, my dogs are walking in circles even.
Where is the Spots challenge when you need it? I am seeing plenty of them.

LOL. You might want to find a dark room to sit in for a while :-)
Seriously, rest your eyes, by focusing on things in the distance.

I'm generally (that means there ARE exceptions to this rule) not fond of the high key stuff, so 300 or so overexposed bright things sound like a nightmare to me.
I promise I won't vote on this one :-) |

Sure, I don't see why not. You can do whatever you need to do, as long as it ends up being Light on White. |

I think you need to make sure you dont overexpose too much - It's important to make sure there is still some texture in the whites.

I read this thread a little while ago and thought, "whatever. it can't be that bad."
Then, I shot my first attempt. Dang, you ain't just joking, are you?

This is going to be difficult if you don't have good lighting to work with.

I just got back from taking a shot for Diagonal and came back to find that I had a great shot for light on white as well from the same session
- so luckily that means that I only have to process the one white shot and wont be too blinded to vote

I don't. and it is. But, to make up for the poor lighting, I submitted a poor shot. :)

Heh. I just got back from trying my hand at night photography. Didn't help a bit with the light on white challenge. :)
Maybe with some creative editing?

| That is such a great idea that I might brave the mobs on Black Friday to buy a Halogen Worklight. It would certainly make for a better shot than the one I got! |

You know looking back at the previous two challenges it seems a lot of "white on white" shots did very well. More so in first challenge than the second but the second did have it's share.
To me "white on white" is not the same as "light color" on white. Am I wrong to think that way? Basically what I'm saying is Jacko's "Sleeping Beauty" is a great entry for the challenge but not so Sonifo's "Innocents" yet both finished with nearly identical scores with very similar subjects. Just curious what others think.
Disclaimer: I don't give the death penalty to DNMC photos so one could still do well in my voting system if I thought you didn't meet the challenge.

You may not ...
use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer̢۪s description of the photograph (aside from color or crop), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken.
So, if the sky is your background, and you change the levels to an extend it is close to white, while also cloning out a bit of ground, will this be DQ'd then?
"Change a typical viewers description" ... that is a broad term, isn't it?
By changing the levels the shot can light on white, but is it too much of a modification?

If you are talking about a clear sky you make white then that's fine as it would fall under "color shifts" which are ok so long as you don't create new "shapes" with them. For example, creating a rainbow with color shifts when none actually existed. So you should be fine but as always wait to get confirmation from an SC so you don't blame me for the DQ. :P

Yanko, thanks, that is good enough to me. I will be in the middle of the scores with this one I think, will be surprised if it skyrockets either up or down.
I like it myself, so I am submitting it ... - famous last words!!!! Oops, that's an idea for one of the other current challenges, haha!

I'm not having to much trouble with white on white.
But for a different challenge (another site) I have half black and half white and OMG THAT is proving to be HARD! They are both textured and I get either solid white or solid black. grrrr.
