We had a debate at our photography club the other night about digital vs. film photography and whether they should be judged separately. One member was adamant that digital prints should be separated from film prints because digital shooters have an unfair advantage. It didn't take long to realize that this could turn into a huge can of worms: what about slides that are scanned then printed? what about negatives that are scanned then printed? The issue was tabled and the current rules will be used for the next six months then we may revisit the issue.
The current rules are: severely manipulated digital images must be entered in the digital category (cloning, cut and pasting etc). Any digital image that was only cropped and color corrected can go head to head with the film prints. I'd be interested in hearing what other clubs are doing. Tom Reese
