Is this a "look at my shoes" challenge?
10/06/2010 05:44:59 AM · #2
It could be a "look at my bruises" challenge if I kicked you in the shins repeatedly. :P

Look at my knobbly knees?
10/06/2010 08:39:18 AM · #4
It could be a hooves or paws challenge, couldn't it?

This is what I'm envisioning:

Trot out your glass slippers.

If she chooses to participate, I know someone that has this challenge wrapped up :)

Wish this topic had come up earlier:

Hmmm...this would have worked.

The way I read it, it would not really need to shot any part of a human or animal body. IT's just something that would be low to the ground. Of course, doing that and I would probably end up with a lot of DNMC votes.

I don't think that would fit -- because we've had those low point of view shots under different names -- nothing like from the knees down.

I respect your opinion Wendy but there is no description to this challenge. Why are you inventing rules for it?

From the knees down can mean taking a photo of a 2 year old child. A pet. A floor. etc.

No where does it say you need to photograph legs.

Dang, GiantMike said it before me. grr

I would expect a lot of DNMC votes for a shot that doesn't have some sort of leg in the picture. You would be 100% correct to shot from a low perspective (below knee level) but I wouldn't bet on it being 100% accepted by the general voting public as meeting the challenge. You have entered enough challenges to understand this but your view point above could cause an unexpected lower score for a newbie reading this thread. IMHO.

To be honest, I also interpreted this challenge as a shot to be taken from a lower then the knee perspective

Live and learn. :)

I disagree about your newb comment. Wendy's point of view could also be seen as influencing a newb to do what everyone here does, go for the literal description and keep your imagination at check. Have fun.

That's dead people stuck to my arm in a New Orleans graveyard:



Awesome photo by tryals15, by the way. But with such a hot subject, you can't go wrong.

I would be open minded about either point of view, and would not vote down either. However, considering the fact that there are people in the macro thread saying "closeups are NOT macros", even though there's an actual description saying both closeups and macros are acceptable in the challenge, led me to give an opinion in this thread. Because even though I'd think either would fit the description, I don't think a lot of people would share that opinion. That's what I meant to say in the first place.

And I appreciate people giving their opinions on the challenges. I don't think it's leading anyone anywhere. I think it's letting people know that they may be taking chances that they don't mean to take, or helping them if they misunderstand something or don't have the background knowledge of the people who've been here the longest. When I first started, there were challenges in which I placed very poorly, because I misconstrued something. I didn't do it on purpose to stretch the challenge, I just didn't understand the backgrounds of a few challenges. Getting some insight into people's opinions would have been helpful.

Maybe they could change the rule for paid members and keep it like it is for registered users.
