I noticed a very nice picture on the "fear" challenge : a rollercoaster loop with the face of a scared old man transparently blended on it. This picture seems to be no more on the challenge, has it been disqualified ? Can you explain me why ? This picture, in the "Transparency" challenge uses the same technique : Through My Eyes... So... Is it because the "rollercoaster" (can't remember the exact name) is a blend of two totally different pictures ? I can't be more specific without revealing it, but my submission for this week will probably deal with this kind of "editing", how can I know if my picture violates the rules or not ?

Well I''m sorry, I didn''t read the author''s comment on "Through My Eyes"... But I don''t have a camera allowing to tune the shot duration, I just can do the same by taking two pictures with a tripod, and then merging them... Well, I think I''ve found the difference between the "rollercoaster" and this one... Sad.

Why is that sad?

Merging two photographs in Photoshop is not permissable. The rollercoaster shot did this, "Through My Eyes" didn't.

Okay, thank you for your explanation Drew. And Sohr, it's sad because I had a nice idea and a nice picture... But I used the merging :( And I can't do the same only with camera tricks. Anyway, I gonna place the picture somewhere on the Internet to get some feedback :) Gonna look in my outtakes for this week's submission...

You can do the Rollercoaster shot and many other effects by using a sheet of plexiglass, glass whatever and catch the reflection against whatever you are shooting.

I am going to an amusement park with this very idea in mind. I have a 18 x 24 piece of plastic used for picture framing and I can shoot a photo with this method of various rides, events, whatever.......

BTW..just remembered.....Gordon used a similar technique in the advertisement challenge...Absolut Inebriation
