Create a photo in which a transparent or semi-transparent object is between you and your subject.
Hmmmmm could use one of my outtakes from the window shopping shoot |

Transparency - (Classic Editing) Jun. 24th 2002 - Jun. 30th 2002
Transparency II - (Advanced Editing IV) Oct. 24th 2005 - Oct. 30th 2005
Should be fun! Just yesterday I was experimenting with -- oh, I won't tell. |

Yes...I was actually trying to convey how mundane and boring I would be if I really had no interest or inclination to make an effort to create something exciting and special for this challenge.

Hmmm..... the challenge description is quite different for this one (compared to the two earlier ones).

| Since you have a lens between you and the subject, any photo not taken with a pinhole camera would meet the challenge. One could argue that a pinhole camera would be shooting through (transparent) air, but I'm not sure air qualifies as an object. Just sayin'. |

I agree...but good luck with the voters. If they don't see an obvious transparent medium between them and the subject...well, I'm just sayin'!

Honestly, I'm not sure what the point would be of entering this challenge on that premise. One could argue all that, but why would one? One would lose.
Just put some intersting transparency (other than the air and the lens) between your camera and subject and have fun. Loopholes and technicalities don't get you anywhere around here.

Fortunately one does not care what the voters think. The voters don't appreciate anything beyond superficial, over-saturated, over-worked, done-to-death, eye candy, anyway. |

My entry is "in". I found this to be a very difficult challenge. Reflections, distortions, diffraction of light and "focus on subject" problems made this challenge very interesting and educational. No windows for me. Too easy! |

This challenge incited a renewed appreciation for polarizer filters for me. I had fun and got really lucky, I wasn't even shooting for the challenge and came home and realized my entry fit really well. I am interested to hear some feedback on the shot. |

Im a bit nervous about my entry. Luck had it that I came across the transparency on the day I shot. I chose my favorite shot of the day but I am not sure it shows the transparency as much as it does in the more boring shots. It is my favorite tho so that is what I am entering and I guess its to bad if the viewers dont like it. Hahahaha. But I am going to change my predicting from a 6 to a 5 on this one and hope it doesnt hit the 4's. Hahaaaha.
Yeh nevermind what I said. I just changed mine. Hahaah. I guess I will try to please the viewers and myself with this choice. I had a better idea in mind but I dont have a model yet and I hope that changes pretty soon.

| Basic Editing rules--can I dodge and burn in Basic Editing? It is a non-destructive edit process in Aperture. |

Nope, that's spot editing and not legal. Sorry! |

| Ya--I don't expect much from the Transparency entry, but I am kinda excited about my FS entry. Once the scores start tallying, that could change. :-) |

| Im with you guys. No high expectations here. I like it and I guess that is what matters. I liked the one I put in at first to but I have a dreaded feeling no one else will get it. So this one I like and others should get. Hahaaha. We will see tomorrow but I wont be up looking for the first set of scores. |
