suggestion for a photo challenge....
-
17-06-2009 4:50pm#1no idea how interested people would be in this but I think it would be an opportunity to flex those creative muscles
I notice a lot of th echallenges are based on photo techniques/mechanics so I'm not sure how well received this suggestion would be.
suggested challenge:
Movies as photos.
take the title/tagline of a movie and take a real life photo (no photoshopping) that you think best matches the image evoked by the movie title. Stranger and more imaginative the better:
eg: one flew over the cuckoos nest - picture of a bird flying over a nest....
Citizen Kane , perhaps a picture of a rosebud ?
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind..
etc etc.
ok, crap examples, I'll post something better later. what do you think? would there be interest in a challenge based on this ? 0

If you've ever seen what happens when I take a photo you'd understand
Hence the suggestion for a challenge and not a "can you do better" ? also, I didnt read anythign in the rules about having to win a challenge before you can actually amke a suggestion. if there is such a rule then you have my humblest apologies.
@ass : dont troll a mod in his own category. bad things happen.0 -

LoLth - as part of the assignment T&C, you find the following line:
*Next task/subject to be choosen by person who has the most thanks after their post (must include a picture in the post ).
But hey, be my guest

honestly didnt see that line humble apologies in order so
anyway, as i said, it was just a sugestion. I have no intentions of entering a challenge (well, maybe someday but not in the foreseeable future) and definitely no intention of taking someone else's place.0 -

Point of order - Sorry but ye are all wrong
(I may live to regret this assertion :rolleyes:)
Going back to when God was a gossen (or about 6 months ago), Challenges were/are the original of the species and usually run for a longer period of time. Submissions were uploaded to Darren's coppermine setup and a voting thread was setup after a predetermined time. The challenge had a winner based on no one seeing each others entries until they saw everyones entries. We haven't had one in a while though in fairness.
The assignments then came from the idea of newbies (IIRC) having a format to learn through short assignments. It has obviously become quite popular and the newbies have grown into more experienced people and were joined by more established users who wouldn't let the newb have all the fun. i.e. it has been quite a success.
So were still open for a challenge as well as the assignment running at the same time if people are up for it.0 -
Here, here!
The challenges were pre camera ownership for me so I never got to take part. As a newbie to the photography forum and photography in general, I've really enjoyed the assignments (even won one - chuffed) and the more the merrier! 0 -

So LoLth just needs to pick a film title & a deadline and we are good to go then? Cool, it sounds fun to me!
Whats the story with uploading stuff, can we not just use a Pix.ie group maybe to add entries? Be easier for most??

Re: Uploading - DarrenG usually helps out here. If you upload to pix.ie or flickr then entries are available immediately once uploaded. If Darren can help out as before then people submit and images are held under wraps until all entries are in. This angle on it makes it a bit more of an event when the voting goes live. It's straight forward enough.0 -
Also as much as we venerate our benign overlord, lolth I don't think we need a film title picked for us!
Surely this challenge allows the latitude to the individual photographer to choose and interpret whatever film title they like.0 -

apart from the made up benign bit, you're absolutely right
My original idea was that a photographer would pick a movie and (despite my lame examples) come up with a picture subject/composition that best captures a movie of their own choosing. (though I have to say, if crispin manages to pull off his jaws one he's already got my vote ).
as i said, i'm not looking to take part, or even organise this. I just had an idea i thought you photo-buffs would find interesting and thought I'd share it.0 -

Just for the sake of keeping this idea going, what say we start with Jaws, is anyone happy to sort out a place to upload? we need a deadline and some rules i guess. A shame to let LoLth's idea die 0
