Non traditional photographs

A bit more of traditionalism. This is an "in camera" photograph.

Hey! That's "crown glass" - the kind that gave the name to the glass type as used in lenses!

Really???? Are you sure?

Jim,

The title of the thread is "Non traditional photographs", given the context of this forum and the images that are typically posted, I consider those two images non-traditional. If you see differently, please explain, in what way are these images traditional?



I will, thank you.

Yes, stitching is allowed from LARGE FORMAT negatives and transparencies or digital files taken with a LARGE FORMAT CAMERA and a digital back. See that, the key words being LARGE FORMAT and the use of them on obtaining the image.

Stitching from a dslr is no big deal, most here have programs already which do it for you without any problem, all you need is enough memory in your pc.

I might be wrong but I think Donald's intention was for us to show photographs which somehow presented out of the box thinking. Your images are very traditional in the sense that while you are showing a subject matter that might be interesting (to some) they are common place now. As someone mentioned, social commentary a la Stephen Shore..... nothing new about this.

And here I always thought it meant my mother's dog.

neither is stitching from a 4x5 or anything else, stitching is all the same

yes, so? at least a LARGE FORMAT CAMERA was used, which I beleive is the focus of this forum....

This could be a newer "replica", but "crown glass" was originally the lumpy bit from the "bottom" of hand-blown windowpanes: They made a big bottle-thingy, cut it open and used the sides for flat glass, and the lumpy bottom became the "crown".

Generally, I think Jorge is absolutely right, though the odd demonstration of some point with a DSLR image is probably OK. If we don't keep this kind of standard we will lose the focus and uniqueness of this marvelous resource.

Yep, there are plenty of places to go see digicam photos.

If this were a forum for wooden rowing shell users there wouldn't be much point in writing about and posting photos of your fiberglass motor boat - now would there?
