My work is taking photos, how am I supposed to photograph that?

I'll try to take one later on.

I work behind a computer for Heineken.....doesn't exactly provide a great subject for a photograph. And the brewery is too far away to just "stop by and snap a picture" of something far more interesting....

Hmmm...I'm trying to come up with something. I'm not sure if I can take pix of work stuff so I'll do an interpretation instead.

I submitted one but then deleted after I remembered the no photochop rule. Mine was of me working on a machine but cloned in different places.

you could always try again with layering multiple exposures...

Be creative! I wish my job was taking photos... I don't think I'll be allowed to bring my camera to the surgical suite

Irony. I like it.

That's what it is - each different picture of me has been rubbed through onto the original photo if that makes sense. If that's allowed, I'll repost it.

UdubBadger · 11-23-2010, 07:58 AM

ok well let me ask you this. All shot on a tripod of the same scene or no?

I personally wouldn't have a problem with it if its all the same photos just you in different spots (like if you could just use the overlay on each layer and nothing was out of place other than you) but if the shot changed in any way (panning zooming or anything) then I might see that as photochopping.

However the final say lies with Twitchy

Is it the "MTT Test" in your gallery? I think it should be fine (but I'm not the one applying the rules.)

I'm too lazy to go find the post that said it, but to confirm it, any depiction of what you do is acceptable, meaning you don't need an actual photo of you at work. You can recreate it...somehow. But make it creative
