Does anyone know what happened? Was it a date issue or an editing issue? Is it any of my business?

08/22/2003 03:44:12 AM · #5

Hey I don't even know why!!

I reccomended myself for diqualification on the seasonal shoot and now everything else is gone ;(

boo, I liked it here too.

Maybe it's just confusion: what with all of yesterday's chaos presumably.

Did you get a request for the original and EXIF data for your desolation shot?

Yes, but I thought it was for the Seasonal thus I didn't reply.

I can't give them the EXIF (whatever the heck taht is?!) as I just edited the original a bit and saved it. So by looking at the rules that means I can't give it to them and thus I am disqualified.

My fault for not saving the original and not reading the rules about saving the original. Really annoying though ;(

Would like to know how many users save 2 copies of each picture they take.

For waht it's worth - I also don't have the EXIF for my portrait shot (the last and final picture remaining on this site) so I guess taht shoudl be deleted too.

Well, it's just a game, and there's no actual prize involved; just a little pat on the ego. So nothing lost. As for saving behaviour, I keep the original, then all my modifications are marked as copy E01, E02 ...etc (where E stands for 'edited'). I usually have 2 or 3 edited versions of originals that I like.

yeah hit the nail on the head. Regardless of when or EXIF info - I know my little image won and that means a great deal to me (with so much great photography on this site)

Whether it's there now on not is irrelevent - the memory will remain. ;)

I'm sure if you contact the admins or site council with an explanation of what editing was done they might, provided it's believable, and obviously provided all the other rules criteria are met, be able to re-instate you.

But I guess you did tick a box saying you'd read all the rules :-)

PS. I keep a folder on my PC which has all the originals of every shot I've submitted, though doubtless i've missed one or two - always work on a copy. This is useful not just for DQ things, but for prints, and any future use one might want to make of an image.

Even if you overwrite the original file, EXIF data is still retained. It's only if you save out to a new file and delete the original that the info is lost.

Do you have other shots of the same thing taken at the same time that haven't been edited? I usually have a couple of pics almost identical so even if I lost one original, I'd still have another. That's the best thing about digital IMO. I can take 50 shots of the same thing.

Would you take a chance to draw straight on your negatives if you shot film?

Everybody should work only on copies, and if you hadn't learnt that yet - sorry to be harsh - let this be a lesson.

Kon, I thought it might be something like that. Usually cheaters just admit it eventually (or just hide). Of course, it isn't entirely impossible to reshoot a pic and have it look very close to an old pic... just not EXACTLY the same.

I have a DPC folder and save all of my original entrys and the edited copies. I have three programs that give me the EXIF info. One of them doesn't register the data on the edits, but the other two do.
I would love to know why the photo was DQ'd too, but I guess I never will. :(

Jon, I'm so disappointed in you. Judging from your website, you're obviously a talented guy, it's a shame your drive for self-promotion ran away with you. Surely by the time you posted the message above you realised that the desolation shot had to be in within a certain time frame? Certainly before you posted this comment you had the opportunity to see that I had asked the question about the date validity for your desolation entry in another thread you were active in.
Imagine how good we'd all be if we could submit any photos from our archives...
Tsk!

And theres me sending old pictures to DPC trying to proove I actually took them!

I didn't know it was a 'date thing'

My other portrait also was probably not taken in any specific date - eek all pictures void ;(

I don't read and have learnt my lesson. A good one.

As for indigio, I will neither admit to "cheating" and I will certainly not hide! Just will take pictures on certain dates ;)
