The unexpected & unknown editing challenge

[Ian Stedman]

Hi,

I discussed this at the first meeting of the season, the unexpected and unknown (author) editing challenge. Based on a talk by Pat Couder and Ian Brash, I'd like you to submit some images to be edited by unknown, other authors.

Let me explain how it will work.

1) Select upto three images to share. Convert them from RAW and save them in compressed 8 bit TIFF format.
1a) Edit your photo, as you would normally, we want to see your input.
2a) Email the images to: [e-mail], maximum attachment size is 25 Mbytes. Send multiple emails if needed. You can use Wetransfer and email a download link to the aforementioned email address.
2b) Optionally, bring the files on a memory stick on the 12th November, 26th November.
3) Submission deadline for entries is 26th November
4) From the 3rd December, I will provide you some images to edit, you won't know the author.
5) By the 18th February, email, in JPEG format, your work to: [e-mail]. Please also send your edited image of your own work.
5) At the members evening on the 4th March, I will reveal all.

The idea is that you won't know who is editing whose work, though you may be able to guess some styles of photography. It is meant to be fun. I will be the only person who knows who the authors are.

If you have any queries, please ask at any meeting.

Ian

Hi,

Those of you taking part, should have received an email with a link to your selected images. Work on as many images as you wish, you have 5 selected images and the 'ghostly' image from Greg.

Could I have your submissions by 11th March IN JPEG format. You should be able to write to the shared Google driver folder I sent you.

[Ian Stedman]

Barrie wanted this image shared to inspire you all.



The original.

[Chris Sawyer]

I didn't know that selfies were allowed.

Hopefully I've fixed access permissions for non-google accounts now. If you still have issues, contact me or alternatively, bring a memory stick on Tuesday and I'll copy the files.
