so like, depicting a scene, but we can't say what it is and allow the viewer's imagination create a story?

Idea is that it sells itsself. Dont worry. People need to worry less about the description and just post what they feel is within the description, and worry less about trolls saying "but wait no no no, it doesnt go that way" Just post what you feel matches the assignment! It will work!

jezterr · 06-17-2008, 09:55 AM

yeah. let's not worry about that. let's be positive. everything must be positive. because listening to critiques and learning from them so you can take better pictures is so negative. let's all stay positive and give compliments even if they're undeserved. yes. positive. rock on. don't be a troll and express your opinions and share your knowledge. that's negative. be positive.

MotoPhotog · 06-17-2008, 11:12 AM

WHat im saying is, everyones gonna have a different interpretation of whats the assignment or not. Which actually makes it kinda cool. Wide arrangement of submissions instead of the typical 2 or 3 submissions haha.

plummy · 06-17-2008, 11:15 AM

omg, it was a fucking yes or no question.

it was just clarification on my part, but i'll just post up a white sheet of paper and call it a story. christ.

Yep.

Aperture f/2.8
ISO 200
Focal Length 130mm

jezterr · 06-18-2008, 05:11 PM

Nope. Aperture mode. What's wrong with ISO 200? It was a sunny day.

all the more reason to have it at iso 100.

Mike Reyna · 06-19-2008, 06:57 AM

A D300 doesn't shoot ISO 100 (if that's what Beans used). Just 200-3200 (6400 w/boost).

The irony in your sarcasm, given the topic of Beans' photo, is interesting.

Mike Reyna · 06-19-2008, 07:57 PM

I think ISO 50, 1/8000 shutter, f1.4 and shoot right into the sun.
