[SI] New Mandate: Filters!
Bowser
picture with a traditional filter for effect, or apply filter effects in
your favorite editing program. Any subject matter is OK, but for God's
sakes, try to avoid submitting a photo and saying that you used the
"sharpening" filter, or something else that does not really add to the
image.
Fire at will. This mandate is due by June 7th, 2009.

PS: I don't know about you, but I'd prefer to shoot using a traditional
filter. Trouble is, aside from the polarizer, I can't remember where I put
the damned things.

My shots are usually taken through a bad-composition,

I'll make one with a fuel filter, one with an oil filter and one with an air
filter.
After that one with a water filter and another with a spam filter.
Of course I'll be smoking a sigarette with a cigarette filter while shooting
;-)

It would be a neat trick if each pixel array were able to tell the
polarization of each photon that hit them. Walla - no attachment.
I guess a camera would cost over $10,000 for that.

Oooh, great idea!
The filter mandate is a brilliant idea. Kudos to the genius that
thought of it.
It should certainly open up more opportunites for submissions than a
visual pun, which is an oxymoron .... unlike the regular type of moron
who came up with that stupid mandate.
Don't forget that you don't have to use the filter on your lens.
There are lighting filters as well.
That's all I'm sayin.

At least us regular morons could figure out how to shot a pic that met
the mandate. Use the force, Luke. Let go.

Really? Which entries would you consider Puns?
Now, in the spirit of the game I shall Filter any further comments
from you.

Ah ha, all those years buying wierd and whacky filteres from the Jessops
clearance bin, the ones that I have never used will pay off! �Victory is

Walking the plank, holding the bag, assualt and battery, etc.
Best to use a soft-focus filter on me.

Hmm, a few issues:
I suspect that polarization of a photon might be affected in attempting
to measure its polarization.
Even if the above is false, each photo sensor collects a number of
photons. Each photon will have its own polarization (random). As such,
filtering for up/down v. left/right polarization would probably result
in loss. Reporting on each photosensor's number of photons in one
orientation or the other would result in very large files (at least
double the size).
OTOH, if it were possible, then with a single image capture one could
generate output images with unlimited application of polarization angle.
My bet: won't happen soon.

That is correct.
But it is possible to measure the polarization of a photon. HOWEVER,
you have to decide in advance what the direction of the axis
you are measuring against is. That is, for light traveling horizontally,
you can tell vertical versus horizontal polarization, but if the
light is in fact polarized at exactly 45 degrees to the vertical,
the photons will randomly appear as up-down and left-right ... in equal
numbers. If you set the polarizer at 45 degrees, and the light was vertical,
you'd get 50% in the up-right/left-down channel and 50% in the up-left/downright
channel.
I should add that it is easy to measure each pixel as described above without
losing any light: you just us a polarizing prism that splits the
light into two polarized beams. These exist that transmit 99.9%, total.
This is in fact very common ... I've built them.

Those aren't puns, they're expressions.
A pun would be "walking the prank" or "holding the bug."
I'll give you "A salt and battery."

Hmm... I think you've got a far too narrow definition of a pun there. To
quote that well known source of all knowledge, the wiki, "A pun, or
paronomasia, is a form of word play that deliberately exploits ambiguity
between similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect. Such
ambiguity may arise from the intentional misuse of homophonical,
homographical, homonymic, polysemic, metonymic, or metaphorical language.".
Essentially that allows for pretty much any and all overloading of a word.
Your narrow definition restricts puns to homophonical overloading, ie. you
only call it a pun if one word sounds like another but the puns listed above
rely on homographical overloading, ie. two different concepts/meanings
represented in language by the same written word.
In the case of, for instance, Walking the Plank the word "walking" carries
two quite different meanings, firstly to "take for a walk" and secondly to
"walk along the length of". Hence the image is of someone doing the first
but (hopefully) portrayed in a manner which makes the viewer realise the
second meaning without it actually being portrayed.
Anyway, lighten up, it's all about creating and sharing high quality images.
Some people managed that rather well I thought.

These were pretty clear to me:
"Draggin' the chain"/"Chain smoker"
"Walking the plank"
"Assault and battery"

No. Walking the plank in the pirate type definition means that
one actually walks along the plank and into the ocean. The
"walking" photo was taking the plank for a walk. Different takes
on the same words. Pun. The spelling doesn't have to be
different.
pun (plural puns)
1. A joke or type of wordplay in which similar senses or
sounds of two words or phrases, or different senses of the same
word, are deliberately confused.

Aah, that works too. Good one. For me, the guy dressed up a

Ah. See the other two replies, and you'll see why this mandate was
impossible for you. Since you picked the next mandate I'll expect only the
finest from you.
Suggestion: buy a dictionary and look up the meaning of the mandates before
you shoot. No go find some cheerleaders and start shooting.

My schedule is very full and hectic, but I'll try my best to
contribute. The due date is easy to remember for me, the day after my
bd.
tony cooper
Since you had so much difficulty figuring out how to meet the last
mandate, I'll give you a suggestion for the next one: take a
self-portrait filtered through a thinly sliced piece of Muenster and
title it "Cheese and Whine". You get two mandates in one.
whisky-dave
Yep, me to as in walking the dog hence the lead around the plank.
Looking forward to the filter mandata,
But can we argue over what a traditional filter is compared to an
untraditional one ;-)

That's sure to polarise the collective.
