I know everyone is frustrated about DNMC but the description said

"Make the obvious use of multiple light sources a key factor in your composition this week."

So I don't think USING mult sources is the same as making it an obvious key factor. I think the ones that are obvious would get higher scores for fitting the challenge more appropriately.

As for me I'm out of this one. I'm tanking because I decided I'd give the abstract one more shot. Silly me.

Got the same problem. Damned annoying! I also used three lights.

This is an excerpt from the Challenge Rules:
"You may not give an entry a lower score because you believe it violates the Challenge Rules".


Not to be picky....well, yeah I am being picky, LOL. Not using multiple light sources would not be violating the challenge rules, it would be against the challenge description. People always vote down shots that they think didn't follow the description.

Oh, and I haven't voted on this yet, and I didn't enter.

6.4 what's up with that? I'd have given it a 5. :/
 03/21/2007 09:31:48 AM · #32
I haven't got a DNMC yet, but my score suggests even though it meets the challenge, its a stupid entry - you should have never entered it.. don't ever work on the challenge in last hour.. and so on :(

Frustration on both sides of the fence it seems - DNMC happening LOTS on the "Cell Phone Mania" challenge forum too. My suggestion - those who submitted for Cell Phone should vote on Multiple Light Source (and vice versa)... that way we'll all vote nicely (not angry) and leave nice comments???

There I feel better now.

i'm sure it's not the DNMC bunch as it's an obvious multi light source shot. People must just not like it :o(

Somewhat similar ... mine has multiple light sources which are literally represented, but it's the additional light sources employed (out of frame) which lend to the overall lighting/effect that will probably be overlooked because voters won't think through how my image/subject matter would look with only the obvious lighting (i.e., how different it'd be without the "unseen" lighting). Oh well.

Well I thought this would be doing better. It started out with a bunch of 7s and 8s but those have turned into 5s and 6s with the occassional 4s thrown into the mix. At least the comments have all indicated it meets the challenge which is good because it's quite obvious without being gratuitous.

For those that point and shoot and believe they have met the challenge discription, the following is from WPPI World Professional photgraphic Institute.

Why Use Multiple Light Sources?

If you have tried just pointing and shooting and the results are less than you expect, it may be time to add an additional source of light. You can purchase professional lighting equipment, or even experiment with the lamps and lights around your house.

By using a variety of light sources, you can highlight objects that would normally be unnoticeable in your photo. On the same token, you can also mask areas of your image that you don't want to appear by removing the light source that is highlighting them.

You can achieve greater control by fiddling around with your light sources until the object is absolutely in perfect light.

So point and shoot photography does not bring in multiple light sources.

Brian, enlarge your horizons. This description is OK if your subject is an object. If your subject is a scene and you're:

-doing a good composition of a great subject,
-using different light sources like tungsten, fluorescent, natural sky light as value points of your shot,
-using a perfect tecnique,
-calculating the exposure and white balance so that the different light sources play the right role in the frame...
-...

if so, you're meeting the challenge description with something which is not a snapshot or pointing and shooting. At the end, WPPI text is just an example.

Am I wrong?

Different Multiple light sources can be arranged to create and impact, somethong you canot do with your tungston, and flouresent lights you see through the view finder, it is still only one light source. changing the white balance and so on does not create multiple light sources.

BTW srugulo, I am very envious of the beautiful places you have at your disposal to photograph, I've been lucky enough to see parts of Italy and it's magnificent!
