Minimal...that ought to be pretty interesting to see how much it forces us to pretty up that dark corner!

Sounds fun, all for it!

I don't get it. Are we supposed to photograph our computer?

if it's minimal, there is no computer.

I'm not sure I get it, either...

Jeb, I haven't the foggiest idea what this challenge is about.

Create an image of the place you call your "Digital Darkroom". The place you find yourself, sometimes overcome with awe and wonder; the place where sometimes you wish you could swear in multiple languages.
There's the chair, the box, the monitor, and various accoutrements and talismans that make it specifically yours.

I get it, but I don't get it. And I certainly won't participate, at least at minimal. Not everyone has a fixed space for this (I don't), and without the ability to do some sort of editing it's not even worth the time and effort to try and frame it.

We have done this subject before. It's entertaining to see the space given to the computer where (at the very least) people upload their photos to this site. I went to challenge history to try to find it but gave up. No search function. I keep forgetting.

The thing is, you can't call it 'Digital Darkroom' because literally that's the software of your choice, & also because people use their computer for so many other things--entertainment, banking, blogging, financials, as well as artistic self-expressions of all kinds. And it puts a big challenge on people who edit from an iPad or a laptop, or a smartphone to create something that would look like a computer workspace for the challenge.

I found it by looking in my own challenge entries, but it wasn't a workspace challenge, it was a FURNITURE challenge! I misremembered.

Oh, I misunderstood.

Thought the challenge was about utilizing darkroom style techniques during the capture to get effects not normally seen in minimal editing.

It's not "Digital Darkroom" - it's "Digital 'Darkroom'", with the idea being to show the place where you do your "digital image making", but with minimal editing.

How can I compete against someone who has a digital darkroom?
Doesn't seem fair.

Weird but nice subject. Gave my own interpretation, so I'm in. But I've still no clue if it fits the challenge.
02/25/2015 04:50:19 PM · #14
Hope my interpretation doesn't get "negative" reviews
