Project 8 - May 2008 Photography Challenge: "Contrast"

Project 8 - May 2008 Photography Challenge: "Contrast"
Congratulations to our March Photography Challenge winner, truflip
As winner of the last challenge, (s)he can suggest the theme of this month's challenge. Also, I'll ask him/her to choose his three favorite submissions, not including his own, for voting. This will keep advanced photographers from winning every challenge and give a chance for someone else to be in the spotlight.


The rules should be the same as last time:

* Photos submitted without EXIF (metadata) date information will not be eligible.
* Each photographer shall submit only one photograph for consideration. You may post additional photographs after the challenge is complete. If you post more than one photo prior to the deadline, the first photo shall be considered your official submitted photograph. Note: You can change your mind prior to the deadline...just edit your post with the new photograph.
* The photograph shall be a new photograph (no photographs from your archives, please).
* The photograph shall not be majorly altered in a photo-editing program. A watermark for copyright purposes is okay so long as it is not the main focus of the submitted photo. Other acceptable alterations include basic cropping, brightness and contrast. Color and focus adjustments should be made in-camera prior to taking the photograph. Note that I've taken white balance out of the acceptable alterations. White balance can be done in-camera. I apologize to you guys that shoot in RAW, just trying to level the playing field here.
* The theme shall be adhered to, but is open to creative interpretation. Unobvious theme interpretations shall be submitted with a brief description of how the photo relates to the theme.
* Please submit your photograph prior to the end of the month, May 31, 2008

Thanks Tim,


Karl, can you confirm the topic, I'm not sure where it came from?

[Rpm2]

Subscribed ignore my other post in last months challenge.

congrats karl!

[BigT]

Wow, slow month.

Get some pics up people (talking to myself too).

[JeShUa]

What a vague topic.

[truflip]

Hey sorry everyone. Never noticed this thread.
Contrast will do, confirmed. lol

Flickr: Search
that should help with ideas.

[JeShUa]

Let ye not forget about the different types of contrast.

[truflip]

Sure. Don't forget also, it's how you interpret the word "contrast"

[arisenfury]

Once finals are done this week I got some plans to start shooting again.

[Jdog_Si]

is there a max size we can post in this thread for the pic?

[wing_gundam]

why not just use a host like photobucket? then you won't have to upload it

800px wide or high.

[Jdog_Si]

should update the original post w/ that info :]

I almost posted a 1200 wide pic :]

[Jdog_Si]

oops, one more q:

how much EXIF data do you require? I looked on my flickr and it shows ALOT of stuff. i dont want to over post data and clutter the thread.

[JeShUa]

If you post the right one it should be in the image.

[Jdog_Si]

? not sure what ya mean

for example.. i see this.. but there is more under all of this. Would this suffice?

Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ7
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture: f/4
Focal Length: 6 mm
ISO Speed: 80
Exposure Bias: 0/100 EV
Flash: Flash did not fire

Orientation: Horizontal (normal)
X-Resolution: 72 dpi
Y-Resolution: 72 dpi
Software: Ver.1.0
Date and Time: 2008:01:12 20:54:20
YCbCr Positioning: Co-Sited
Exposure Program: Manual

[arisenfury]

What he's saying is that if the picture fits the requirements then you shouldn't need to post up the EXIF with it. At the end of the contest each photo is checked for it anyways so posting it up is just redundant.

[Jdog_Si]

oh ok. im new to this contest so I dont want to be the odd ball :] but i guess its too late for that!
