Re: July Photo Challenge - Blue
Hey everyone, sorry I have been absent for a few days.
Our computer completely died on Thursday!
My husband spent many hours this weekend trying to fix it and was unable to do so. He's taking it to work today, so hopefully he will be able to recover everything we need from the hard drive so we can start over. Unfortunately, I took some new photo's on Thursday, which hadn't been backed up yet (our computer was set to back everything up on another hard drive on Fridays) so I'm a little upset about that, hopefully he will be able to get them back, because they were for the challenge. Ok, rant is over....
Oh, and what happens if two or more people upload the same kind of shot? I swear I took one of my photos on Wednesday (it being Friday today), and I see a similar idea already.... Can I still upload it at the end of the month? (That's when I'm uploading my entries.) You can ask Momo if you don't believe me - Momo was there when I took the shot!
There is no rule against posting the same type of shots. Just because someone already posted a shot similar to what you want to shoot, doesn't mean you can't post it for the challenge anyway. People will just vote for whichever one they feel is better. So please still take them Leish! I'm sure we are bound to have a couple similar shots in our upcoming challenges as well.
So is there a rule against photo manipulation? I haven't seen anything against it as yet.
I have no problem with manipulating your photo's, as long as it is a photo you took. I think this could be addressed each month by whoever is deciding that month's theme. Perhaps some themes would be better suited not to allow it. But I will say this month, as long as it is 'Blue' then go for it. I think Aniri's eye photo is great and perfectly acceptable to be submitted.
He's Blue! And He Has A Camera!
I do love you new avatar Maji!
It was a cry because someone has a picture almost identical to mine, and though I finished it quite a few hours before this other person posted, people will think I've copied (especially because my version was saved as a PSP file and I only saved it as a JPG today, after this other person posted).
I need to find a new idea now. My idea was 90% similar to this other person's.
Like I said before Leish I don't think you have to find a new idea, especially if you bought stuff just to get this shot, you should definately still submit it. Even if they are similar shots, each persons will still be unique and their own shot, so I hope you do still submit it.
