I'm curious how the "X-Ray" photo was done within the rules. I was surprised that it was actually marked as verified.
I agree, I was surprised by that as well. I'd be interested to hear how it was done within the rules.
Funny that you ask... I'll post a tutorial about it this week :)
If ONLY this had been under the advanced rule set, you might have just been pushing the new boundaries to their limit to have maneuvered the two distal phalanges indicis downwards just a bit ...
After reading some of the comments below...... a reminder.
With valid reason, you may suggest an image for disqualification by clicking the "Recommend Disqualification for this Picture" link under the challenge image. Possible reasons for disqualification are:
The photograph has hints of alteration in ways outside of those allowed on DPChallenge.
You have proof the photograph was not taken by the photographer who submitted it to the challenge.
You have proof the photograph was not taken within the required dates.
In all cases, do not let this request for disqualification affect your score for the photograph. Please vote on the photo as if the entry is legal, and let the administrators do the rest. Requests for disqualification will be reviewed by DPChallenge. If your image is disqualified, you will be sent an e-mail stating the reason why, and you will also be be notified on your home page. Your image will no longer be available for voting/commenting.
By "double exposure" the photograper means, exposing two subjects in the same frame, not opening the shutter twice.
It's really very simple if you think about it. By holding a piece of paper/cardboard directly over the lens, one half of the CCD doesn't receive any light, then after reaching the proper exposure with one side, you slide the cardboard over and expose the yet to be exposed side.
If you simply think out of the box, you'll get it.
in no way the boundary between the 2 images has been made with a game card... too soft line... and in no way it's a double exposure... the two images are mixed here in the same level (or layer maybe... ?)
the image is stunning.. but if dpchallenge is accepting manipulated photo on basic challenge, then i will change my way to post....
I didn't get to vote on all the images for this challenge and so I didn't see yours.
Very nice but...
my only concern is the use of somebody elses image in your photograph. I'm not suggesting it breaks the literal representation of art rule, but as to whether or not you can use a (possibly) copyrighted image in your photo.
I would probably have scored it an 8 by the way (but submitted it for DW just to be safe :-) )
I voted high, I realy like this picture.. but double exposure on a Sony DSC-F717 hmmmm I dont think so... perhaps you made a mistake when entering, I notice your second camera is a Nikon Coolpix 4500 which has the double exposure feature (Multiple Exposure).
I am guessing the 5 idiots are people who have decided it is faked and rather than request a DQ (if this was before it was verified) decided to just give it a 1 as they "knew" it was faked anyway, so why bother.
The word "idiots" seems quite justified.
Maybe that's why the hand is giving them the sign it is ;)
I never knew the F717 could do double exposure, so I am looking forward to seeing your tutorial. I find it especially good in this image that you have created an overlap between the two so there is a smooth transition from the x-ray to the normal picture. Congrats.
Awsome image Aleks! Congratulations! I didn't get to vote on this challenge, but I would have scored this very high if I had. I'm looking forward to seeing your tutorial.
Yiks.. i tot this has been validated??? Sorry i did not rate you a good score. Anyway would like to know how you do this?
what is the shutter speed? usually the computer flickers if to capture at higher speed. personally i have not try this, would like to know from you EXPRESS the best shutter speed to capture image on TV or computer monitor
Excellent idea and execution. The flesh tones work very well against the black background. I'd give you one more point if that blue border was NOT there.
Excellent. I have absolutely no idea at all how this could be achieved within the rules, but see it has already been validated, so can't wait to see how it was done .... I do hope there is an explanation! 10
This is a great photo, but considering the context, I don't think it's the best photo here. It relies on its title/exposition completely to convey "serendipity."
Clever idea. It will be very interesting to read after the challenge how you did this, I can't think how it must have been done. Since your picture has been validated, it must be something legal! Nice color and focus. I think the border really does enhance your picture.
Amazing shot, I'm very curious to see how you accomplished this shot. The compistion is good, maybe a touch less dead space at the top would have been nice. Also, you washed out the back of the hand a little. I think just a touch of darkness would have improved the dramatism of this photograph. Still, great shot, there is no justice in the world if this is not the blue ribbon winner.
I'm still trying to figure out how you did this with only basic editing, but assuming that you did, you get high marks from me. Only thing I could think that would improve the photo is if the tip of the middle finger was just a little sharper.
I suppose there will be a tutorial explaining how you did it within basic editing rules. It is an exceptional image but I am unsure it is an exceptional photo. Color is great. Composition is good. Interesting relevance to theme.
Great image. Very well done. The lighting is good and good exposure on the x-ray. Very creative. this image stand out from all of the rest. My top pick for the week.
Am of course interested to see your details of how you got this shot! Great idea too. I'm not hot on the border choice. A slight gradiant background of black/white could serve this well...(7)
