Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM

I would like to recreate a new version of my Time Lapse entry (HDTR I think it's called) using the original set of 300 images taken between 3.30 and 7pm. It would still be exactly the same scene and framing, but technically would be different photographs (i.e. I'd choose a frame from a minute forwards to save duplication). Also I'd do a very different edit on it that wasn't as blatantly time divisioned as my Time Lapse entry (probably less time slices too).

Would this be legal to do? It wouldn't be the same photographs but in principle it is the same photograph. What I have in mind won't look like my original anyway, and I'm not that concerned about it being recognised in the voting process (blowing anonymity) - but I'd like to avoid a DQ when I can just choose a Jan outtake instead.

Many thanks,

N

p.s. sorry for the PITA question - surely this will be the last ever under that ruleset ;)

You're best asking this directly through the contact page, especially since the deadline is tonight.

Also, the rules limit it to 10 photos, not 300. A different question from "is it a different image," but still something to watch out for.

Come back and let us know the answer!

Remind you... it's TODAY so, get your folders ready and check out which crappy image can you enter... crapier the photo you select, better chance I got...

WAIT, I mean select the ones that are good... yeah, that's what I meant :D the ones out of focus, and blury... I think that's the new thing now, more out of focus and blury images get better scores... over and under exposed photos also loved very much.

:D

It's about 7 hours away until the deadline, it's almost 2200 here and I'd really really like an answer if possible before I goto bed (noon in DPC land = 5am GMT) so I have a little time to get an entry together.

What say you SC?

Leo,

I hate to appear stupid but what does "bump" mean? I have been a member here for only a few months and have monitored several threads where it is used.

Also, I really admire both your work (in your portfollio) and your views on photography. I think it was you giving a few memberships a few days ago....that is really admorable.

Thanks

Xuko, about the free memberships, I am not the only one, there are lots of people before me and after me gave memberships all for the love of photography, and to beat more people in member challenges (LOL)

For the "bump", if you start a thread, and you want more people to see, each time you post something to threads, the thread takes the first place in first page for others to read... when new threads pushes your thread down, you just come back and type "Bump" or anything else in that matter to push (bump) your thread up first place...

Not everybody need to bump threads up, only if you feel others should read it that didn't have chance before because of work, time zone etc. reasons.

Thanks again

FP

Thanks FP...now I know. As for the free memberships, etc. I am frequently amazed at the membership in general in DPC....so many really care about helping each other, and not by just offering advice. I've noticed many are concerned about what they say in the comments, how what they say is interrupreted by the reader. It's a really fantastic group. I've been so impressed that I signed up my son earlier this month, who's a student away at school. Anyway, not what this thread is about...back to Jan. Free Study....we are about 1 hour and 40 minutes away!

You can only use 10 images as already stated, anymore is a DQ. If you could do it in the timelapse challenge, you can do it in the FS. I know my vote doesn't count though.

01/31/2008 10:31:36 PM · #15

Word from the SC is:

"Consensus is that it's technically legal since you're not using any of the exact same exposures. That said, you're likely to get hammered in the voting since many users like anonymity. It's not a rule violation, however, so you can do as you like. Good luck with whatever you decide."

I'd already just submitted my backup photo instead - I can take a hammering from the voters when I'm trying hard so I think I'll take the safe route.

Thanks for the advice.

I would only have ever used 10 images (max) - more like 3 (or 9 if you're including tone detail from other exposures) from the entire 300. Why doesn't your vote count?

I am confused...are you planning on using 300 or 3 (or 9)...

Also, how about the over saturation I've been reading so many complaints about? That seems to be a very popular way to get higher voting scores.

Throw in some bananas and you'll be good, since we didn't see 421 of those in the "yellow" challenge.

I only meant my vote in terms of a DQ or not. :)
I think you are ok. As I understand it, the Advanced Editing VI ("Time Lapse")rules are in use because the Free Study was originally announced with these editing rules. BUt after the first challenge it was decided it was impossible to gives solid explanation of the new rules. since it was halfway through the month they let the challenge run under the ruleset. thats how I read it anyway.
