Frisks my pockets and comes out with about two penny.... ooooops paisa......
Lets start all over again.
This is a Photography Challenge.
Photography can be defined in a simplest language as something you capture using an instrument called camera, position yourself in such a manner that you get a certain angle for the view.lights etc., Ofcourse, what you are capturing is as important. This is a snakeys definition, no book definition, when I say snakeys, it means, a laymans.;)
What we mean by Photography Challenge..... Photography Challenge would be the test of skill in...... using the right instrument for capture, at the right time, at the right place, with the right kind of light suitable to the mood and if the image can speak more than just merely a picture like I just happened to comment on NarayanKows post, all the more better.
Post work...... Post work would mean, trying to hide the flaws in capture, manupulate the lights in the capture, manupulate the colors, manupulate the mood itself using Potatoshops.
Finally, there needs to be a distinction between posting something for a challenge and posting something neatly dressed. We want to see the bare dare , no cover ups.
Then again, not all cams have the same features. Some are better than the others, some have more features than the other and some are ultra specific..... Lalani... the macro master, I would really like to lay my hands on her cam and filters.....hahahahah
So, a Challenge post, followed by a para graph on the kind of camera used, filter used, lights used, condition under which captured etc., should add as a bonus. For, I have reason to believe that some folks have captured some amazing pics using non hifi cams which need an acclaim for their photographic skill.
Even though, I am one of those who happen to rely a lot lot on potatoshops, like PSP, Photoshop and Photoimpact a lot and also love it very much, I feel for a challenge it should be a Big No.
Resize, crop, sharpen ........... should be the limit if at all since we are not going to a real life gallary and this is a web gallary and these softwares also help as web tools.
Enough said.....
Waiting for more.............;)
