For photographers the first challenge has come to a close. With a total of 9 photographs submitted, it gave us time to get our systems ready for new features on DPChallenge. Hopefully with our next challenge, we can attract a bit more of a crowd.

So tell your friends!

Ummmm, I'm a little confused about the second challenge, regarding table tops. Is the idea to look at the contents of the table, the table itself, or the view looking out from the table, or something else? I guess I'm feeling that the topic should be somewhat more specific.

dude said PLACE it on a table top.

The details probably don't do a great job of explaining the current challenge. A table shot is simply a shot from a different perspective than one would normally see: on to the table.

Here are some examples of what we had in mind:

example 1 | example 2 | example 3

Ohhh, I see what you mean. Could you put those into the description of the contest instead of just leaving them here?

Giving examples seems to degrade creativity. We've since re-worded the challenge criteria on the home page. Hopefully it should clear things up for people.

in other words, dpchallenge should have to take the picture for you by giving you examples.

Now this is interesting reading. A lot has changed since then. Like the size of this site. From small beginnings …

Yeah, from day 1, people have been trying to figure out the meaning of the challenges. Thanks for bringing this up. I'm going to dig in to the earlier forums. Thanks for the smiles.

It was likely a test thread to see if the system was working. Although, I would think they would have reset it after the test, but what do I know?

It is interesting that challenge descriptions are given so little thought after all this time. I know I have seen many reworded, and nearly all hashed out in the forums, even in the short time I have been here.

Really interesting looking at the photos from the first challenge Road Signs Challenge 9 pics submitted. In 2 yrs the site has grown and evolved so much. Congrats to Drew, Langdon and those original members who had the vision.

Amazing! 9 entries and the winner photo scored over 8 with commenters each and every one scoring 10, no trolls in those days eh?

Oh the good old days wish I was around then.

What I want to know is how come Drew hasn't marked any of those comments helpful. It has been 3 years.

Or perhaps someone to lock any thread over twelve months old. ;-)

"Forums: Posts: 3,865"
...
"This user has never posted in the DPChallenge forums."

Something is amiss.

Also - I went to click on a link to one of his portfolio images titled "My Girlfriend" and there was just an error message "This user never had a girlfriend" Hmmmm...

edit: Let's get Langdon's reaction to these revelations...
