No, I'd have to use one of our local sites. I might have to buy online if I can. There are huge legal restrictions on what we can buy right now. But I still need to declutter the drives I already have. |
Oh. :-( Sorry to hear that. |

Culling? People cull their work? Wow! No wonder I have to wade through so much detritus every time I look back. |
Something I need to learn to do too. Urgently!

| Hmn. It is easier for me to go out (or round about my confines) and shoot than to look in my files. Such as they are. I would bet money or lenses that my filing is worse than yours, whoever you are. BUT this is not an argument against archival, which is a brilliant idea for these times. |

The fact is, it is easier to find something in years of archived shots as opposed to going out to intentionally shoot for a challenge. Hence greater participation.
We'll go back to the usual idea of a challenge soon enough. Besides, It's only one a week. |

I joined dpc many (many) moons ago and it was 'sold' to me as this...
"Imagine you are a newspaper photographer and every Monday you go into work and the editor gives you 1 or 2 assignments and thats what you go and shoot, you may not want to shoot kittens but kittens it has to be and NOT old pictures of kittens"
Now, if things never change they go backwards so, whilst I may not agree with/like archival challenges I'll just not enter them - simples. In fact I enter 'archival' images on another 'challenge' website but (again imho) it's just not the same thing as why dpc was started.
Seeing the numbers for archival versus 'normal' challenges says something about what (most/many) people want now. Maybe if my archive keywording was existent I'd think differently lol. |

What????? Stop the archival challenges???? No, no, NOOOOOO... don’t ever stop them! It encourages really really reeallly exquisite photography... because people can show the best of their best. I love them and hope they never go away!!!

Archival may not be ideal, it seems to work best for expert editing, instead of shoehorning- but in reality it beats the hell out of a slew of quarantine navel gazing entries...

We are all welcome to derive what enjoyment and satisfaction we can from our participation here.
One person's enjoyment of a challenge doesn't take anything away from someone else.
Just take a pass and go to the next one.
And whether you enter them all or just a few, that's your option.
Some have more time than others.

One thing for certain is that the archival challenges has put the entry level up and that has to be a good thing in these times right?
Another thing that is important in these times is that we get off each others backs and continue to be the community we have always been, supportive and caring.
If people prefer to remain indoors and scan through the archives for photos then good luck to them, support them. If people wish to go out or create new photos, even for archival challenges, then good luck to them, support them.
Let's keep the good spirit that keeps me coming back year after year..
Stay Safe All. |

Best not to generalize, I enter all kinds of challenges, even the hated Minimal. Archivals are a nice break from working out how to take photos within the current constraints. |
Agree with the generalising. Participation is not just about entering challenges but voting and generally taking part in DPC. I don't enter many challenges - I never have - I don't have the time or inclination normally, but I do vote a lot and last time I checked that's pretty integral to the whole concept of DPC. |

I think that these two are cause and effect. I hope you can see the relationship. |

I look forward so much to mid week challenges to see what challenge were up against, brings me great joy looking through my photo's from the past, but also makes me itch to travel again, something our GOVT will not allow us to do for we don't know how long. They say maybe 2021 which is a joke really, since we haven't had one new case of Corona in Perth for 8 days!!
Anyway with the archival's I feel like I get to live through my travels over and over again. So PLEASE do not stop them!! |

let me guess... you are NOT on lockdown and you never backed up your hard drive before it crashed.
I am not on lockdown and I lost ALL my originals by mistake (not a HD crash) (I was transferring my RAW AND JPG folders from my 3TB to my new 6TB, when I unplugged the power supply. No big deal but I did a cut and paste. When restarting the HD, I discovered that both files were not there anymore. 5-6 years of originals gone. I can get it back with a deep scan on the HD but it takes way too much time to do this). I still have ALL the modified and edited pictures (those were in another folder), but not valid for entries in DPCPC.
I use Bridge to classify all the pictures and it is very easy to find a specific photo back.
-I do not have archrivals.
-I enter as much, if not all the challenges.
-I do not need someone to tell me if I want to enter or not.
-I do not like Archival challenges. (and Minimal Editing, either)
-I like to joke.
-I like Bear_Music's reply.
-And to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
