aight, guys. Stopped motion. Anyone else thinking this is just another shot at "action shots", but with advanced editing?

get the ball rollin'

Of course I got the shot I wanted at the Kite Festival ... yesterday.

Yep...

I don't mind having similar subjects.....but not the same week. I wish they were spread out a bit more to give more variety.

Oooh, this challenges spells high shutter speed and high ISO... bring it on - I love to vote this kinda images, highly interesting :)

Great. Just great. I have a week full of exams and lab practicals that I need to study for, but now I'll be horibbly distracted. I better get a ribbon for this. ;-)

I have absolutely no idea how to go about something for this. :\

My home setup shots are, for the most part, beyond crappy..

Bleh. Maybe I'll find inspiration in the last 8 hours of the challenge like I did for Zen.

Hrm.

Does motion trails mean the blurry bits? I am hoping the Avon Descent will be held this weekend and if I take a stopped motion pic of a kayaker, will the water the paddle has dragged out of the water and is dripping down disqualify me?

I'd say as long as your shutter is fast enough and there is no blur you'd be fine!

Better yet can I submit it as mine? :P

Don't think so! Will have to find something else! Avon should be good! Get a good rapid position!

Absolutely, I am hoping to make Extracts Weir in time for the paddlers and Supershoot and Bells Rapids on the second day.

My Action II shot is [deleted]

Hmmm....how about this? Its the "motion" stopped (literally)...lol

*Speaks in flat tone* Nice.
07/31/2006 03:19:36 AM · #16
What about faking it? Okay or not?


I don't mean is that a DQable pic; there's no extra rule requiring that you actually stop some motion. I just mean do you think that's acceptable?

And for the person who asked whether having any motion blur will get you DQed, I think the answer's a strong "no." There's no extra rule banning motion blur. I think they just mentioned it to give you an idea of the ideal.

I'm afraid I don't understand your point or whether you think it's acceptable to take a photo of still objects.

First, how stop-motion animation related to stopping moving things in a photograph? I mean, the definition of stop-motion animation is still photos of still objects. But I don't think that's how most people would think of the term "stop motion photography." At least, the other entries in the earlier challenge didn't use that definition.

Second, did you mean the shot I showed is fine or it's not?

Hmmmm. Rainy day here. Not good for this contest. :>(

Dave - I don't get it. Why do you keep telling people what your challenge entries are? You gave away your 'On the Beach' shot, your 'Zen' entry, and now the next two challenges.

We're supposed to remain anonymous with our challenge entries.

I believe you're just getting excited, Dave, not doing anything untoward. But esp. given the issues now being discussed here:
//www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=437176

I suggest that you be more careful.

I just shot an extremely good photo and I want to make sure it follows the guidelines, but I don't want to give it away.. So! It contains sparks as moving subject that are stopped, but sparks to the naked eye have trails and mine have the same trails as one would see in real life. It's kind of a middle ground that can go either way, but I think technically spark 'trails' indeed count as motion trails :(. It's a beautiful photo though. I might show just a tidbit if you guys want to help me draw the line.

You might consider this. If you have to talk yourself into believing it meets the challenge then a) it probably doesn't and b) a whole lot of people are going to consider it dnmc. Why submit something that you aren't confident in? I simply can not understand the logic.

you guys think water drops will be penalized as being too cliche?

Here's the logic, fancyman: I'm not sure where the grey area of 'stopped motion' begins and ends and where the voters will draw the line. I also do not know the phyisical dynamics of sparking thus I can not discern in my photo whether my sparks are 'stopped' or in motion. This leaves me asking if anyone knows specifically whether sparks with slight trails will be considered dnmc.

The original doubt on my part draws from the fact that although sparks inherently show 'trails' to the naked eye as opposed to a kicked soccer ball one can see without much blur. The ball can be frozen easily and details discerned, but sparks can only be shortened as I believe they are just super-heated bits of shite flying about.

The most important questions is: would I have to freeze sparks as tiny bits of untrailed shite in order to meet 'stopped motion', or is my photo containing sparks legitimate. If it's an issue I wont enter it (as I predict), but the quality of the photograph asks that I try to work it in anyways.

Tried to get that one down...

P.S. routerguy666: I really like your fool's gold photo from the gold challenge. one of my top 10 :).
