Lots, since I think too much outside the box

Not a Duotone (technically it is, if not traditionally)

Not a single light source (the flashlight in the picture is off, not a light source, the light source is another flashlight being moved around outside the frame).

"The Emperor's New Shoes" in Footwear challenge.

Not a "mug shot"

I expected to have been called out "DNMC" on:
Negative Image
because it isn't a traditional negative image but I inverted the luminance channel in LAB mode. But nobody did!

In the new DNMC challenge, all entries will be a paradox, so best not to enter and continue with DNMC entries in regular challenges.

Apparently this isn't a fence. ;oP

Timing seems about right for a revisit to this thread. :-)

Why don't people support looking for (and appreciating) ways of stretching the challenge definition, instead of constantly trying to narrow it down to yield 300 copies of the same picture?


If we take the approach that if a picture doesn't meet the challenge, it must be the viewer's problem, not the photographer's, then we end up with a bunch of free studies. Personally, I see more variety in the top 20 of the Multiple Light Source challenge than I do in the top 20 of most free studies, and what I find refreshing about this site is getting to see the ways that others meet the challenge each week.

That said, I tend to give people the benefit of a doubt on meeting the challenge, and don't drop the score by more than a point or two, unless the image blatantly ignores the challenge topic. And it tees me off when someone gives me a 1 for DNMC, when I've tried really hard to shoehorn *my* image in. :P

If you did a multiple exposure, one using light from the sun and one using light from the moon. You "annpatt" would have to use the same logic again to rule that there is only one light source.

WHy you ask? Because the moon isnt a source of light and both exposures (now one single) were lit by the sun.... just a thought on stretching multiple light source into DNMC.
HAS NOTHING TODO WITH THAT SHOT, Just a DNMC multiple light source thought.


Well, no, you're reading more into what I said than what I actually said. He used one light source. A single strobe. The sun and the moon would would be two light sources, as would a single strobe and a reflector, because the light reflects off the subject from two places, regardless of what actually creates the light.

If I had voted on this entry, I would have given it a 7. Great shot, gives the illusion of multiple light sources, but when you look closer, the light is all coming from a single place. My interpretation of 'multiple light source,' which may not agree with yours, involves multiple light sources, not multiple flashes of a single light source.

I don't have a problem with the fact that a lot of voters disagreed with my interpretation, because in the end, it's all subjective, and it's about what the majority thinks. My taking a point or two off becuase I think it's DNMC (even though it's darn clever) isn't going to make much of a ripple in the overall score.

edit to fix quote tag problem.

Excellent shot, BTW.

I interpreted it as being made with multiple strobe flashes, with each separate flash counting as a "light source."

Well, it doesn't really meet the challenge, since you only used one light source. But actually meeting the challenge isn't a requirement for winning a ribbon. All it really takes to ribbon is giving the illusion of meeting the challenge well enough to convince the voters. Nothing new, this has happened on a number of challenges.

Excellent shot, BTW.

This one didn't meet the challenge because the candle was not visible.

Apparently, the swaying skirt and motion blur in the hips weren't enough action for the voters.

Enter it in the March free study. It works every time.
Happy 4-1 day : )
