Paul T Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Nice one Barry! plus a very appropriate music trackPaul Quote
Barry Beckham Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Posted December 22, 2011 It was the music that inspired the slide show this time rather that the usual route where we need to find music to go with images we have alreay shot. I was just lucky that after several visits to the balloon fiesta I had just enough images to make the show. In fact I think I am right in saying the track never existed when the pictures where taken Quote
Paul T Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 The shots of the people inside the balloon silhouetted taken from outside created surreal ghostly shadows looked good and would make winning shots on there own if in a photo competition I think.Paul Quote
Barry Beckham Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Posted December 23, 2011 PauloYes, I think I did use one of them a year or two ago and it did pretty well, but it wasn't until I looked back that I saw I had a few more that could be used. However, a local club to me (not the one I joined) has a rule that images used in competition must not be more than 3 years old and another Australian club I saw in the internet yesterday limits images to be no more than 1 year old.I am not sure what the motive is to ban images that have never seen the light of day or been used in any competitions simply because they were taken a while ago. As far as I can recall, my Canon images don't come with a sell by date Perhaps someone here can suggest what the motive might be for a rule like that. It would rule out any image I shot in the UK because I have been in Australia now 3 years, is that a fair and reasonable rule? I don't think so. Quote
davegee Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Most clubs like to encourage new work.We don't have such a rule but every month we see a dusty slide from a patriarch of the club who has no option but to use older material which causes much consternation from one or two who are not aware of the patriarch's past credits and achievements. The club still accepts that "projected images" includes transparencies and we are now down to one per competition.Where such a rule is useful is encouraging photographers to go out and shoot new work for a "themed" competition and not dig out old material which (sometimes barely) "fits the brief".Rules is rules. But the AGM is sometimes a good place to change this if you have the backing of sufficient numbers of members.DG Quote
Barry Beckham Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Posted December 23, 2011 DaveA club can't encourage new work by banning anything over a 1/3 years old. People produce new work because they are inspired to do so by their interest in what they are doing. You can't legislate for the old guy still using slides, you have to accommodate him. If you try to cast your net of rules under those circumstances far too many innocents get caught in the net. A club doesn't need rules for the one odd person. Rules is rules. But the AGM is sometimes a good place to change this if you have the backing of sufficient numbers of members.We should never have foolish rules like that in the first place. How can you justify such daft rules by saying rules is rules. Do you really think that a rule like that is going to radically improve the standard of a camera club. I just fought against another stupid rule recently regarding AV and mainly PTE and I lost. Here is it word for word from the motion that was passed.“FullMotion video capture (above 8 frames/sec) must not be includedunchanged from video cameras, however simulated motion (eg stopmotion animation) by manually sequencing a succession of stillcaptures may be used for effect.”This is the typical response of camera club committees to anything new, I have seen it so many times Ban it !!! Its the last thing we should do, but plenty do and enough people rolled over and accepted this one. How will the organisors know if the video is above 8fps for sure. How would competition secretaries be sure images were less than a year old? Its not hard to sidestep is it. A quiet word in the ear of anyone who abuses good sense is a far better way to deal with issues rather than rules which are just unjust and wrong.Take the scenario of the member who spends a fortune on a once in a lifetime holiday, being told after 12 months that he can't use any images from the trip. Just not reasonable is it. Quote
Ken Cox Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 I GUESS a discussion of Ansel's techniques to help members improve their methods would be out of the question ken Quote
davegee Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 BB,I'm not going to spend time on this - it is not fruitful and is off topic.If I can offer a suggestion?Start from where you are NOW and try to make things better.Over and out.DG Quote
