[SI] Mandate - Filtration

Hi folks. I posted the mandate on Friday evening, as per the schedule,
but for some reason it did not propagate. Here goes, again;

MANDATE

Filtration ... Time to get creative! You must use a filter of some
sort, over the lens, to achieve an effect that could not have been
achieved without using a filter. Commercially sold, traditional filters
would be great, but if you don't have any you can make your own filter
(examples might include a 'pinhole' covering of the lens with paper,
drastic vignetting filter).

/MANDATE

(I will also e-mail the mandate directly to Al Denelsbeck, to be sure
that it gets posted this time, one way or another.)

Mandate is temp. posted at: http://www.aliasimages.com/si/MDTfiltration.htm 'til
Al gets to it.

I've always wanted to try that Bob Guccione nugget of the black stocking over
the lens ... of course I'll need an appropriate subject...!

Cheers,
Alan.

Does the filter(s) /have/ to just be over the lens?

digital filters ok?

I mean in PP, with PS.

How about we let the digital filter crowd use them if and only if they
can coherently explain why you can't achieve arbitray coloured filter
effects on a digital RGB image.

Sounds like i'm going to have to skip this mandate. I'm averse to SLRs.

You prefer what? Rangefinders? Go put a star filter on one

I'll be using a physical filter, based on the mandate it sounds like
what's intended. Besides, post-filtering is too easy, would be cheating
- after all, with digital you already get to preview the photo
immediately and see how it came out, seems like enough advantage already.
Having experimented for half an hour with various things, suddenly
_everything_ is a filter and I want to take a photo through it to see
what affect it has.
I think this mandate's going to be fun.
