Expert FS #3 -- mine's in! Today & tomorrow left to get yours in--don't delay!
04/13/2016 09:38:18 AM · #27
Eeeps. There is always plenty of time until there. Isn't. Gotta get to work.

Gotta say, it's a little ridiculous to have 2 expert challenges ending the same day. How many "outtakes" are going to wind up in the other challenge? A lot, I would think.

And if so, how many DQ's are there going to be when the same source is used in multiple composites? What if you use different parts of the same source image in multiple composites but the used portion changes - is that a violation? According to the way I read the rules it is: "you may not use the same original image in more than one challenge".

I'm almost inclined to skip both.

Both are in :) Let's level up a little...
04/13/2016 10:57:29 AM · #31
I've entered double experts... waiting for the next minimal.

Jake don't sell yourself short. Come play with us.

I also entered both experts.

It's not selling myself short - I like expert challenges. My problem is that I just got back from 10 days on the road with no time to process anything (I know, that's not your problem). I might be able to do 1 (I'll do the FS), but to have 2 experts due on the same day is a little extreme, even if I did have time to shoot for them. And again, so much of the FS is surrealism anyway, it would be nice to have it due at least a week before/after the FS.

Well, best laid plans went to H-E-doublehockeysticks yesterday thanks to a family "thing". Had at least one shot and coulda done two, but let's just say that the spirit was willing but the mind is still mush. Kinda bummed - it was a cool composite.

Both are doing very bad!!! It's more let's level down. Discouraging. Never expected it would score soo badly.

Yep, I started off with a 4.++, maybe we all started off with a low score because the people who have no use for expert editing voted first & voted low to make their feelings known (& felt). I for one haven't voted yet, haven't even looked ( computer woes). But I'm back online now! Look out!

I'm still editing away on mine LOL - always see so many flaws after roll-over!

I know what you mean! partly because I enjoy editing as much as I enjoy taking the photographs. And I look forward to rollover, when I get to see what everyone else has entered. Such a pleasure.

Good luck!

blech!! I hate expert editing. I suck at it. Two at once was awful! While I appreciate the work people can do -- I really need to not do things last minute, 2 at a time, without knowing what I'm doing. Someday I need to sit down and do a bunch of tutorials. Or take a trip to France and have Gyaban teach me. :)

I dont. :)

but I should. :)

But I won't.

But I really need to learn and not just blunder through! It's time. So I stop dreading it.

I entered both. Both are scoring in the Meh range. One of the two included nothing beyond Advanced processing rule set. It is outscoring the one that had some "Expert" processing. What does that say about my Expert processing skills?

On the other hand Surreal is sitting on 5.000 and I really don't like my entry at all so that doesn't surprise me.
