[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.)

digital filters ok?


The mandate specifies over the lens. The 'rulz' of the SI generally
preclude extensive photoshop manipulation.

Alan Browne is correct. The mandate calls for the use of one or more
analog filters, used at the point of capture, to achieve the desired
effect. Standard SI rules apply; nothing has been waived. This is an
exercise in photography ... not in software manipulation.

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

You are not required to use an SLR, or even a store-bought filter.
There is no requirement that the filter needs to mount onto the lens.
Use your imagination.
