cwd143 – Square Foot. The entire content of your photo must be 12×12 inches (~30x30cm). What? I’m talking about the entire frame. So, first…your photo must be cropped square (non-square images will be removed from the pool). Second, if you enlarged the photo to 12×12, it would be a life-sized photo. Am I making any sense yet? Perhaps an exmaple. Let’s say your subject was an 8.5×11 inch sheet of paper (boring…don’t you dare do it) – that’s less than 12×12, so there would be some space around the piece of paper. Now let’s say your subject was a person. People are bigger than 12×12, so you might have a head and a shoulder. Or maybe a couple feet and ankles. Get it? Bottom line: if you blew it up to 12×12, it would be life-sized. Obviously, I don’t expect perfect precision on the whole 12×12 thing…but if it’s obviously 20×20 or 5×5, I’ll boot it from the pool. Get as close as you can to 12×12. The goal of this assignment is to alter the way you look at things. Footnote: Please, no photos of rulers.
a 365 reject of my Day 249 shot.
LOL – cool shot! So clear and sharp and I love the lighting. I see you seem to have too much time on your hands ;-P

Seen next to a fellow photo of Take a class with Dave & Dave. (?)
Unhuh! Yes, yes, that’s one!
@evaxebra: actually it was an outtake of my 365 shot. It’s not so much that I have time as it is I’m WAY too devoted to my 365 days project.
@lrayholly: the one what?
That is cool. Skill on top of skill.
@4inthehouse: thank you.
Great idea!
@revlimit: thanks
I like this one.
@PFByrne: Thanx. I’m glad. I actually measured the whole thing out before I built it yesterday. Glad it paid off.
see, i was confused by this assignment. i’d done a perfect square of a tulip and also a portion of a building, but then was reminded that the object should be 12×12 and that would be an awfully big tulip (across that is)….so I went with my plaster cast–which i was happy with anyway–but then i saw all of these other photos that simply contained that much space, whether they were actual 12" x 12" objects. i guess i still don’t understand this assignment and am glad it’s over!
i like this one though mav…well done!!!
@pi c’s: actually, this is 12×12. The way I did it was after I built the castle, I took two pictures from the same tripod setup with a tape measure in front so I’d know where I had to crop it to. Glad you like it. Thanks.
This is cool…but did those last two cards stand, or did your house collapse?
@Killian77: actually, I never even tried to get them to stand, I was just trying to get the right shot by holding them. I probably could have gotten it to stand if I’d really tried.
