*ENTRY* Thread DSS #28: Circle or Square

[Llywellyn]

Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #28

Welcome to Round #28 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, June 15, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5) to Monday, June 29, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -5).

The topic ready for your interpretation: Circle or Square

Show off some shapes! Not just round. Not just angular. Your final image must feature a circle or a square somewhere within the frame. Polygons and ellipses shall be shunned. :wink So dig out those geometry books and look around: shapes can be found anywhere in anything. Be creative and have fun!

Your Judges:
shatch (Winner of Round 25)
divamum (Guest Judge)



IMPORTANT NOTE: Your entry is to be submitted directly into a Smugmug gallery. It's pretty simple, just go to the gallery link below, and follow the upload instructions at the top of the page:DSS#28 Entry Gallery (http://challenges.smugmug.com/gallery/8565009_rLiZ3)Remember, the basics stay the same: 1 entry per person, and the photo must be fresh, taken during this contest period. Do not use a minimal save method (such as "save for web"), and your exif will be embedded in your image, no worries!

To avoid disqualification, read, in full, the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge Rules (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=129426), there have been some slight modifications.

One question please:

Would this ash-tray (for example) be considered a circle - or because it's not precisely a top view, it would be an ellipse?

http://allbiz.smugmug.com/photos/564292360_2wFzZ-M.jpg

...also would be the indentations banned?

[MarkR]

Hmm ... Circles, round, discs ...

This is the Discworld challenge, innit! :scratch :barb

[Llywellyn]

Okay, I'm not going to break out my compass for every shot. :lol3 My hope is to avoid outright ovals and rectangles. :thumb

[dnie]

ok, this sounded really easy, for about 10 seconds...
but I like it! Good theme Kerry!

[Katmitchell]

There can be "both" a circle and a square in the image?
how about many circles and many squares? is that legal too as long as there is one? but not one or the other right? :scratch:scratch:scratch I mean there can be both?

A little confused.. after looking at photobugs photo..

Katmitchell,

From previous contests I know that:

When there is a theme containing a "or", both subjects can be present
- it's up to your interpretation "or" imagination :)

[Katmitchell]

Thanks Photobug.. Just wanted to make sure..:thumb

:deal
CIRCLE - A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are the same distance from a given point called the centre. The common distance of the points of a circle from its center is called its radius.

SQUARE - a geometric figure consisting of a convex quadrilateral with sides of equal length that are positioned at right angles to each other as illustrated above. In other words, a square is a regular polygon with four sides.

Not to be confused with Ovals, Rectangles or Triangles. :thumb

Thank you Kerry

[silversx80]

Would a self-portrait count? I'm an engineer, and therefore, such a square :wink



This is going to be hard. Looks like I'll have to carry my camera everywhere for the next two weeks. On the road back to NC next Friday, so I'd better get something off soon.

Naaaahhhhh! All bark, no bite! I was just kidding before, the more I think about it, it actually sounds kinda fun (stress on kinda). It would certainly challenge me, I've tried on several different occassions, and it's not as easy as some people make it look.

maybe i will see how far i can push the nudity rules:D j/k

Aaron raises a good point, what about the naked man with the hedgehogs and the rings of fire?

It would require strategically placed hedgehogs, that's for sure...

Hey, Kat. You can always just choose to not participate if "She Who Guides Our Photographic Quests" deems a self-portrait is in order. For example, I knew I didn't have the tools or time to get a good entry together for the "Book Cover" challenge. But in my case for an SP, my image would likely break way to many mirrors in too many homes to have my smug mug on other's screens. (Like how I built a plug in there?)

I've got two weekends to see what I can find and produce for #28. Looking forward to it...

[Tango]

[pemmett]

What? Paint a face on your (beer) belly? :lol3 Is "Portly" or "Rotund" the same as circle? Hope so and then I can can a picture of myself :-)

[pyry]

Depends on the shape of the projection.

Nothing a selective distort wouldn't help if needs be. :wink You could end up looking like a Tolkien's dwarf if you swing around a tankard and wear a helmet :D

This is surely shaping up to be an exciting round! The judges are going to have a tough time on this one!

Nice job everyone so far!

I'm down for a foot self portrait challenge :lol3


As for regular self-portraits you just need to become creative with lighting, I did a few with my point-and-shoot camera last summer sometimes using one of those bendable lamps. But for the most part I'm with you, there are some photographers I know who do almost exclusively self-portraits and are very bold in what they will do in them. For me it's a much rarer thing Usually being a part of the body not a traditional portrait. But recently I did get some studio lights which is letting me have some fun with it.

[silversx80]

You know, all this talk of self portraits got me thinking. I entered DSS#25 with a shot of myself using nothing more than a hotel pillow as a tripod and a single hotel wall lamp as my studio lighting.

We just witnessed your expertise in foot portraiture..:wink

OK, but only 2 feet allowed, not six or seven..:rofl:rofl:rofl

You guys just keep pushing for an SP Theme and your gonna end up getting it... Kerry is gonna call your bluff.:deal, then what? :rolleyes

Well, it will be one of the most interesting rounds ever I am sure..:huh:huh:huh:D

I don't think I am going to be able to pull that off with a motel lamp. :rofl
well maybe, if I go with a super grungy effect with low roadside motel lighting..hahaha

[dnie]

Kerry,
My first entry in the gallery needs to be deleted. I have it marked for you.

Thanks!!

[NikonsandVstroms]

OH, and a *gasp* Olympus body and lens :wink

:clap :clap :clap

I might be shooting with the Nikon and Fuji's more now but I still have lots of love for my Olympus kit especially since I can fit lenses that go from 18-300mm in 35mm terms plus a macro in a small camera bag. :deal

Well, I've finally got the mulah for an upgraded body and can't find an Oly E-620 anywhere in UT, so I started to look at the D90, D5000, 500D and 50D. I finally found an image comparison between the 620, D5000 and 500D (T1i), all the same scene on the same day and time. I have to say that I like the Oly better... that means I have to wait until I get home to get it :cry

I LOVE the size and weight too.

[ic4u]

Ooooohhh, Diva and Shatch have their work cut out for them!!!Awesome stuff coming in:thumb :thumb :thumb

Kerry, can you please delete my first entry, it is marked...thank you

Sorry Hedgehogs are not round or square, and it's far too risky to place them strategically - believe me I speak from experience :rofl

Anyways,, Kerry,,

Thanks Kerry..:thumb:lust

I need a good deleting for my one that is marked Please Delete too, please.

It's not that we're erasing images, it's that we're looking at the gallery and realizing we need to polish our images a little bit more ... which is one of the points of competing, no? :deal

Well, I'm working on an idea. Just not sure if I can get to Tasmania to complete it in time. :D

Stoned Wallabees make crop circles: (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8118257.stm) Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.

[dlplumer]

You know, I could be so evil and just start declaring "no deletes." Muahaha. :wink

That would be a cool new rule for the future. Or you could deduct one vote per delete :rofl

[divamum]

That would be a cool new rule for the future.

And then when the server goes down the night before the round closes and nobody can get their shot uploaded in time.... :rofl

Kerry, is it easier for you just to have the deletion entries labeled as such in the gallery so you just cull them all en masse when the round closes, or would you prefer them to be pointed out to you for "running deletions" as people have this time out? Serious question - just wondering what makes it easiest for you.

This one point is the only drawback to the entry galleries - they're awesome in all other ways and thus reverting to the entry thread format is NOT being suggested - but it was nice to have full control over one's entry.

(Remember McKee's Constantly Changing Santa Still Life? That was hilarious!! I'd check it every day just to see what had been added - it was like a constantly evolving "I Spy" book :D)

Either way works, honestly, but I really, really appreciate when people label deletions in the gallery. That's extremely helpful and most folks have gotten into the habit of doing that. :D

Kerry,,

I am not sure I am right, and I looked at the rules again and again, but I could have sworn I read somewhere at one time that we are not supposed to use the actual words that are used to title the competition in our own individual titles.


Is this true? I think I read that once, but I cannot find it in the rules anymore.. If so, I need to change the name of my entry,, I named it " Circles of Coercion". At the time it seemed to fit and I ran with it. However, I would hate to get dqed over the title.

I tried to change it, but it won't let me.. what should I do? and is the name fine the way it is?

Sorry to be a pain,, eventually all of these rules will become second nature..

Hi Dan.. Thanks for chiming in..:D

Well, what is your advice? Should I just leave it the way it is? :scratch

Or should I change is to "Rounds of Coercion" ? I am stuck between the two..

if i remember it was Emily suggesting to not use the words in your title as she wanted people to be more creative in expression than just plain obvious....

[Katmitchell]

ok,, thank you Aaron. I knew I remembered reading that somewhere...

Well, I think I will go with the play on words, be more creative, and go with "Rounds of Coercion". I don't know how to change the title. I hope I am not going to have to re-upload it and delete it again..

Hi Kat,

One example off of top of my head would be Jeff Meyers' entry called "A Singular Catch" in the last round "Singular or Plural" so you should be ok.

edit: It looks like you have already decided to change it. The new title is very good too!

Yowza, I go out to run some errands... :huh

Personally, being the grammar and language nut I am, I have some editorially strong feelings against using theme words in photo titles. I don't DQ on it, but it's a bit creatively disappointing, especially considering the work that goes into the entries themselves. Why skimp on the title? (Or bloat it...if there's more than four words in a title, my eyes glaze over. But again, that's personal preference and does not affect my impartial DQ-determining side. :D)

Dnie, I'd swear I answered your PM. I know I went to look at your entry. I can see that it isn't a frame added in post, so I'll allow it. :thumb

Thanks Kerry...:D

yep, just decided it would really bite to have this one DQ'ed since I do like it myself. Better to be safe than sorry.
BTW Kat, I like 'Rounds...", a bit of a double meaning. I like that.

[Katmitchell]

Thanks Donna... I like rounds too,, and I agree, better safe than sorry and ya have a strong entry...

Bummer.. dude.. I just noticed something on mine though when I went to rename it.. The top of the bullets got lopped off in the edit when I was adjusting it..

I really need to stay away, or else I will keep noticing stuff.. I am gonna have to fix that tonight...

MAN........This is like the entry that never ends........:deadhorse


I just know the judges will pick that off as lazy though.. so I gotta fixy..:rolleyes

WHaaaaaaaaa:bash.. we need a good WHaaaaaaaa smilie.. I am not sad, I am bawling and throwing a fit, ya know..

Oh Well,, for now I am off to shoot this really odd statue I found. Hubby is taking me on a shoot dinner... An early entry this time was supposed to buy me the weekend, and instead I am stuck in reload edit mode..

Have a great weekend everyone....:thumb

Kerry,
If you could please delete my second entry, it is marked, but since it is the 2nd one, thought I just better mention it too!
Thank you, sorry to be a pain:D

[Llywellyn]

[Llywellyn]

Kerry, did we set a record for most deletes in a single round? :rofl
I think you might have! :whew

But made up for by the fact that *drumroll* there were no DQs this round! :barb

[KevXman]

. . . there were no DQs this round!

YEA!:clap

[Katmitchell]

ohhh.. that's ok,, she got us back for that one with this next Theme... :thumb

Just went and read it.. passed out and then managed to pull myself
back up to the keyboard..

You know what reading that thread just now reminded me of Kerry?

Speech Class.. Yep...

Ya know the one where the class starts with the professor saying : Today will be impromptu speeches, you will each draw a subject from my hat, and you will have 10 minutes to prepare and then get up in front of the class..:huh:huh:huh

Even though we have a month, this is what it feels like.. 10 minutes...:D
