Muahahahahahahha! DQ DQ DQ DQ...


I think I have a good idea about the "off topic" pictures.
No read on, don't delete or skip....

Would only be used for statatistic purposes...

Add an off topic checkbox on the voting page.

Then just like all other statisic it would be displayed when viewing the picture as a % of users thinking the picture was off topic and the average vote from users thinking it was of topic.

This would make intresting statistics, or what do you think?


I'd love to see this!

First, there needs to be a "The DQ Process: A Submitter's Guide" as I just got my first DQ request and really wasn't exactly sure what to do with it. Nothing ever said "validated" or what not.

Second, I don't see photographing a statue as a breach of the art. And here is why.

A statue is a 3D element. Photographing said element is converting the 3D to a 2D thus is allows artist's perspective and the ability to create an entirely new derivative work.

However, taking a photo of the Mona Lisa as presented would be a violation because essentially you are simply transposing the artist's earlier rendering.

Now if you were to zoom in on the texture of the frame. Or perhaps the texture of the paint up close. Than once again, you are artistically deriving a new work from the existing and I no longer see it in violation.

Just my humble opinion....

I do have a question, and it may be slightly of topic.

As far as submitting an unedited original from the camera.

I'm only asking now so I can avoid any potential problems in the future.
Let's say I take a photo using RAW and I make adjustments in
C1 and convert to jpg. Does this process alter anything with the RAW?
Especially the modification dates or anything like that.
I normally convert from RAW and then store the RAW file. I don't
make a copy of RAW, then use C1 on the copy. Am I going to run into problems with verification?

Possibly. Why aren't you making a backup of the original? If you have a technical problem (e.g. disk crash) you'll have lost it all. Then it'll be more of a problem than not validating your entry ...

I do make a back up, I do it at the same time I store it, which
is after I have converted to jpg.
Maybe I should play it safe and change that practice, make the copy first, then convert. Just to make sure.

You have 48 hours from the time on the request in which to upload your original & editing steps.

Is it possible to request a DQ after a challenge has ended? I am curious about a photo in one of the ended challenges because based on the subject matter I don't think it was taken in the specified time frame. I'd rather not point it out here though.
09/30/2005 02:37:38 PM · #37
It is possible, but I don't think there's any automated way of doing things. The best way would be to PM myself (or any member of the SC) with a link to the image in question and the reason you're querying it, and we'll take it from there.

OK, I PM'd you.

I thought multiple exposures in-camera were not legal. Could you please clarify ?

they used to be legal at the time of the post. that changed in the last year.

Covering and uncovering the lens or using multiple flashes in a dark room during a long exposure can both yield legal in-camera multiple exposures. What you can't do is combine separate captures in a camera.

thanks for clrifying it. That is exactly what I thought. Maybe a simpler why to say it would be "Any kind of in-camera multiple exposing is legal IF the shutter is released only ONCE"

Just to clear up any confusion on the part of a potential reader --
Manic's quote is from December, 2003. :)

Things have changed since then.

How do you add comments after voting all photos?

I tried but it doesn't seem to save the comment.

Thanks.

Ah yes, well spotted :o) Of course, my list is more a set of examples rather than a definitive list, and any suspected rules violation (including image recycling) should be reported.


Even I have the same doubt, if the photos are repeated then what could be the effect with DQ?

The photo gets removed from voting and is not eligible for challenge placement. Depending on the timing, there may also be additional penalties.

There have been comments on my photo during the current "skin" challenge indicating to me that people are most likely giving me a low score because in their opinion my picture doesn't meet the challenge guidelines. Is there anyway to tell if this is true or anyway to prevent this or report it? Should I report the individual comments that people said they need to think about my shot because they don't believe it meets the challenge guidelines?

Thanks,
Justen
