(bearing in mind some of us are on dialup!?) anyhoo im up for it!! deffo!! andy :( p.s. in terms of editing... all sounds good, but what about sequency shots?? e.g. 6 of the same rider in one photo? that allowed?

that NBR dude Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 It's a fotherington-sorbe light capture engine. Comes with an attractive teak tripod and turned brass feet. It's quite fetching! Good lord!! Going back to the old skool then Chris :( I think for this, a B&W Ilford HP5, in the Nikon F3 with motordrive attatchment will be perfect. Cant handle all this digital malarky!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'm game so long as I inherit my dads cam as soon as he gets his new cam. Should me mid november. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Nope. What if i get clever with the enlarger, and i print, for example, 6 shots on one piece of paper. Is that aloud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you supply photos of you doing it, along with masks or rubber solution, then ok. Seriously though, if you're capturing more than one image, do a video. Then you can do 24 every second!

Sorry, it's how you'd do sequence shots in a darkroom... The darkroom is a wonderful place, but I'm keen to keep this a 'pure' competition, otherwise it goes to the best Photoshop Wiz, of which there's a few here!

Haz Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ooooh, so I can use my SLR, but I'll have to scan an image in. Cunning. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Oh, and you have to have taken the image you submit. but what about sequency shots?? e.g. 6 of the same rider in one photo? that allowed? What if i do some double exposure shots eh ? ...... thats a single photo .... anyways im in. in a way..... I know my mate will want to do some shots for it.....

F-Stop Junkie Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yeah, yeah, very clever. Stuff can be done in camera, or in a darkroom and rephotographed. Rather than me dictating here, lets get some other people saying how far they'd push the manipulation thing... My view is you either allow all manipulation, or very limited amounts.

Rob_P Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Limited amounts is best! Shows the true photo then dosent it, anyone can turn the worst photo into something better. Theres other ways of doing a sequence as well, not that i've tried it but I might be able to try it soon. Flashgun on strobe mode :( Could be problems with lighting though etc. We'll see Just hope I have my feggin new digi slr before the comp ends!!!! ^_^ if not the fuji wil do just fine!!

Matt_Tupman Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think you should allow us SLR boys to do as much manipulation as we want but the digi boys have to have a limit :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Why ? Trickier to get right with an SLR, less chance for experimentation ('cos you don't know if it'll work, and if it doesn't you're f**ked), harder to manipulate the images super precisely, can't do the same effects you can with PS, etc... I wish I still had access to a dark-room :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think the no manipulation idea is good. Its camera skills we are testing here, not what you can do on a pc. If you are using an SLR you should know what you're doing anyway, so dont really need to use PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, that's bollocks. You don't know if you've got the shot instantly - never stopped me when I was shooting film. Drop the negs or slides into a scanner, and you're back in the digital realm. A photo is a photo. The video comps were never MiniDV vs 16mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
