I hope this will be a wonderful challenge. I look forward to it!
The name 'Impressionism' comes from Monet's painting 'Impression: Sunrise.' You can find many copies of it with a simple google image search. Impressionists were very much into capturing those fleeting moments of light and time, so they often painted the same thing over and over again with different light. For photography, it will be interesting to see if DPCers mimick the great masters of impressionism such as Monet, Manet, Renoir and others, or if they create their own sense of 'fleeting moment of light and time.'
For more on impressionism, there are many links. You can trythis one.

I do have a question on this, I know its a basically no holds barred on editing challenge, but are we to use just the camera to obtain the "imressionism" effect or will images edited with software to obtain the affect be higher rated?
its just a bit confusing to me

This would be more interesting if it was a basic editing challenge or even a no editing challenge. A lot of the impresssionist effects can be obtained in camera.

It's just advanced editing, doesn't give any extra rules.

This is Advanced Editing but no extra rules. This means among other things your editing cannot create, duplicate or remove major elements of the photograph.
Please also note this is a Masters Challenge. You must be a member AND have at least 3 ribbons (up from 2 on the previous Masters Challenge) to enter.

You dont have to worry about it. No Impressionism challenge for you. Or me, or a couple thousand other people out there. Gotsta have the big ribbons to participate in this one. |

The whining about this topic is going on in another thread. Please don't drag threads off topic.

| Where does it state that to compete you need 3 ribbons? Am I blind? |

If you have less than three ribbons, the submission fields will not appear. Instead, you will receive a message that says "Sorry, you do not have enough ribbons to participate in this challenge" (I know, because I fall into that category).
That message was written at the time of the first (test) Masters' Challenge, which included the ribbon requirement in the challenge description. Admittedly, it needs to be rewritten, and I will ask Drew or Langdon to do that tomorrow.

Terry, any idea how many 3-ribbon "Masters" there are?
I would expect a lower percentage of entries in this one due to it not being a free study, so is raising the bar such a good idea?

If I remember correctly from the first masters challenge debate ... it was determined that there were 68 3-ribboners ... but I'm sure that's higher now.
so say between 70 and 100? |

I think what jab is asking is will people be applying the "paint brush" filter or similar? I have the same question.

In some ways it would be a more interesting challenge if the various 'impressionistic effect' photoshop filters were not allowed.
In other ways, I still feel the end result is all that matters.
Depends what you think the challenge is about - camera handling or good pictures. |

I think the main challenge should be with camera handling to get a good picture. Impressionistic effects can be achieved in camera and then only basic editing applied to turn a good image into a great one. Just my opinion.

Yup, that is certainly one potential view. and I've certainly tried to do that on a variety of ocassions in the past.
But is the final picture actually any better as a result of it ?
Is it actually more challenging to achieve, or have you just exercised a different set of (potentially equally difficult to learn) skills.

So, does the majority agree that the result should look like a painting, and not like a photograph?
Or should our photograph simply conform to traits found in impressionistic paintings (ie ... simple composition, limited colors, perhaps soft focus)? |

I have been thinking about this also. I spent some time last night looking at impressionistic art and tried to determine the best way to achieve similar results with the camera. I thought of several things, including the use of some homemade filters.

Here are some of mine, that I think are broadly on theme for this challenge. Not a hay bale or a photoshop filter in sight:

Beautiful!
Arguments (or, if you prefer, 'whining') about the Master's Challenge aside, I really wish I could enter this one...

| This should be a wonderful challenge for voting... I love impressionism and can't wait to see what the Masters have to show us! One of my favorite impressionist painters is Mary Cassat, which might give some ideas in case anyone is interested. Good luck to all of you! :O) |

I think this photo from the recent Implied Lines challenge is a decent example of impressionism.
