http://www.flickr.com/groups/alasauvette/ This is not an award group, but a real gallery : you should look at the pool and i hope you'll discover great pics and photostreams. Members are encouraged to show their appreciation to other member's pics seen in the pool by leaving comments. This intelligent and atmospheric urban capture, by <b>bernache</b>, has been voted by the members as the <b>picture of the year 2012</b> and, hence, is the new icon 2013 for the group <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cbernachot/8096414128/" title="Paris by bernache, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8335/8096414128_d70f94ec6e.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Paris" /></a> ==================================================== <i>&quot;À la sauvette&quot;</i> : a very ambiguous term, used by the famous french photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson for his most famous book, and rather improperly translated by &quot;the decisive moment&quot; in english. <i>&quot;À la sauvette&quot;</i> means : something furtive and fugitive, a bit illegal, done with a sneak and swift efficiency, that won't let any trace. It's rather a way of taking some candid photographies, but with the intention to catch or rather steal what could be a decisive moment indeed. It's a kind of &quot;shoot and run&quot; photography, as the radics of &quot;sauvette&quot; come from &quot;se sauver&quot;, which means &quot;to run away&quot;... The &quot;à la sauvette&quot; photographers are neither stalker nor paparazzi. Their captures are made &quot;par un heureux hasard&quot;, which means by chance, without too much &quot;mise en scene&quot; - however, this doesn't mean too quickly composed, super blur or badly framed photos. This is a photography based on spontaneity, but with a high sense of aesthetics and an outstanding composition. There are already Flickr groups dedicated to Henri-Cartier Bresson's philosophy, like The Decisive Moment and Decisive Moments, but they are focused on the term of &quot;decisive&quot;, which is <b>not</b> the case of this &quot;À la sauvette&quot; group. The purpose of &quot;À la sauvette&quot; is partly to pay a tribute to a kind of candid and street photography inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson, but not only him : Gilles Caron, Raymond Depardon, are some of the french leaders of this kind of &quot;à la sauvette&quot; photography - and there are plenty of disciples and masters (William Klein, Daido Moriyama, for example) all over the world. But the group is not at all a catalogue of clichés and it's open to creativity Basically, &quot;<i>À la sauvette</i>&quot; is a personal gallery of outstanding photos, more focused on the pool quality than on forums - that was its first purpose when it was created and it's sometimes difficult to maintain this high level of selection now that the group had met some success. So the selection lies on a big subjective concept : ultimately, beyond the topics and technical or artistical qualities of the photos submitted to the pool, the very subjective and sometimes mean tastes and point of view of the main admin will influence the final choice of featuring (or not) a picture submitted to the moderation pool... i know, it sucks... RULES ( tougher than in the beginning ) : 1- Post pictures that are taken in a candid situation and that could show some beautiful, funny, interesting or uncommon situation, meaning more or less you've stolen a kind of decisive moment. These pictures should have at least <b>three</b> of these elements : <b>humans, candid i-e-a no posed attitude of the models, motion and movement, aesthetic background and/or composition.</b> Kittens and other animals are not welcome, except if they fit for all the required composants. Flowers, sunsets and other classical postcards-explore topics are not welcome, except if they fit for the required composants and are related to a main human subject in motion. The flooding of pictures was the reason why pictures posted have to pass through an examination (moderation) before being accepted or not in the pool, or left in queue in the case of a rather borderline picture. The original nice habit of the admin to send a flickr mail to the people whose pictures have been accepted or rejected cannot be maintained, unfortunately, because there are too many pictures for a poor part-time admin. If you don't see your picture in the pool, please contact the admin via flickr mail or the discuss thread or submit your picture to the rest of the members through the &quot;be the judge&quot; thread. 2 Write topics, explaining the situation for pictures posted or asking people to guess what happened at that moment, because the spirit of the group is that every pictures &quot;à la sauvette&quot; has a story. This group is dedicated to imagination and fun. 3- Since there are no awards for the moment, you are not obliged to comment on the other pictures of the pool, but courtesy and simple intellectual curiosity will be appreciated. Please use the comment code, so as to show your appreciation and let the people think (and it's true, actually) that there are plenty of great photos in the group's pool - which is rather a true gallery than a simple dull pool, actually. 4- Please tag your pictures allowed in the pool with &quot;<b>sauvette</b>&quot; The poor lazy and half-time admin cannot do this for you. This tag will help people to find your picture in global search and will improve the reputation of &quot;à la sauvette&quot; group 5- There are no restrictions about the topics or nudity or political issues (Hey, there's enough censorship in Flickr anyway). However, this group follows the rules of an idealistic leftist french republic, that means that people who preach for a religion (yes american friends, this is forbidden in the french no god republic), for racist or antisemitic statements will be banned without warning. People who tend to use the group's thread or pool for their own profit, like flashing their name or putting a lot of links to their websites, will be warned and/or banned. &quot;à la sauvette&quot; photography does not fit well with big egos, anyway... The admin's patience could sometimes become limited, when a person try endlessly to have one picture in the pool and if this picture has been previously not accepted many times... There are no technical restrictions. A picture digitally or manually post-processed or cropped could be accepted in the pool, provided it respects the required composants and the spirit of &quot;à la sauvette&quot;. Voilà ! En français : <i>&quot;À la sauvette&quot;</i> : un terme assez ambigu, utilisé entre-autres par le photographe Henri Cartier-Bresson pour son recueil le plus connu - et traduit de façon plutôt incorrecte en anglais par &quot;the decisive moment&quot; <i>&quot;À la sauvette&quot;</i>, ça veut dire : quelque chose de furtif et de fugitif, de vaguement illégal, en se glissant en douce, en se faufilant, fait avec une efficacité rapide, sans laisser de trace. C'est plutôt une façon de prendre des photos &quot;candides&quot;, sur le vif, sans pose artificielle, mais avec l'intention de prendre ou plutôt de voler un instant décisif. C'est une sorte de photographie du &quot;prendre et fuir&quot;, comme les racines de &quot;sauvette&quot; qui viennent de &quot;se sauver&quot;, s'enfuir... Les photographes &quot;à la sauvette&quot; ne sont ni des rôdeurs malsains, ni des paparazzi. Leurs photos sont prises &quot;par un heureux hasard&quot;, sans (trop de) mise en scène. Cela ne veut pas dire pour autant des photos maladroitement composées, super floues ou cadrées n'importe comment, au contraire. C'est une photographie de la spontanéité et de la chance, au service d'une esthétique et mise en valeur par une composition forte : c'est la photo idéale. Il y a déjà des groupes Flickrs dédiés à la philosophie de Henri Cartier-Bresson, comme The Decisive Moment et Decisive Moments, mais ils sont focalisés sur le terme &quot;décisif&quot; et sur la fidélité à Henri Cartier-Bresson, ce qui n'est pas le cas pour notre groupe &quot;À la sauvette&quot;. Le propos du groupe &quot;À la sauvette&quot; n'est que partiellement de rendre hommage à un certain type de photographie de rue &quot;candide&quot;, inspiré par Henri Cartier-Bresson, mais pas seulement lui : Gilles Caron, Raymond Depardon sont quelques-uns des leaders français de cette photographie &quot;à la sauvette&quot; - et il y en a quantité d'autres de par le monde. Il s'agit avant tout d'une galerie de la créativité sur un contexte donné : la rue, la ville, les gens, le mouvement, la beauté. <b>À la base, <i>&quot;À la sauvette&quot;</i> est une galerie personnelle, où le pool des photos sélectionnés est plus important que des forums, reposant donc sur une forte sélection, forcément subjective - c'était en tout cas sa raison d'être quand il a été crée et c'est parfois difficile de maintenir cette exigence maintenant que loe groupe a rencontré un certain succès. En dernier ressort, au-delà des qualités techniques ouartistiques des photos soumises au pool de sélection, ce sont donc des jugements subjectifs, les goûts et points de vues de l'admin principal qui entrent en compte aussi dans le choix final de retenir (ou non) telle ou telle photo pour le pool.</b> Oui, ça craint, mais c'est comme ça... REGLES ( durcies par rapport au début ) : 1- Postez des photos qui sont prises dans une situation sur le vif et qui peuvent montrer des situations belles, drôles, intéressantes ou insolites, ce qui veut dire que vous avez plus ou moins volé une sorte de moment décisif. Ces photos doivent avoir <b>au moins TROIS</b> de ces composantes : <b>des humains, pas de poses des modèles, du mouvement, arrière-plan et/ou composition esthétique</b>. Les chatons et autres animaux ne sont a priori pas bienvenus, sauf s'ils correspondent aux composantes demandées. Les fleurs, couchers de soleil, paysages et autres sujets type carte postale-explore ne sont pas bienvenus, sauf s'ils correspondent au moins à trois des composantes requises et que le sujet principal reste un humain en mouvement. Pour cause de pool croulant sous les posts (plus d'une trentainhe par jour), il a fallu renoncer à l'habitude sympa de l'admin à mi-temps d'envoyer un flickr mail pour dire aux gens ayant posté si leur photo est acceptée sans réserve ou formuler des réserves ou s'excuser de ne pas accepter telle ou telle photo qui ne correspondait pas aux critères. Le système de tri par modération fait que désormais chaque photo est examinée et que l'admin décide si elle est immédiatement acceptée ou rejetée, ou mise en attente (et dans ce dernier cas, s'il en a le temps, les personnes ayant posté seront contactées). La démocratie du départ en prend un coup, mais vous pouvez toujours contacter l'admin par flickrmail, l'interpeller via les fils de discussion du groupe ou en appeler au jugement des autres membres par le fil &quot;soyez juges&quot; des discussions du groupe. 2- Écrivez des sujets, expliquez les situations et histoires derrière vos images postées ou demandez aux gens de deviner ce qui a pu se passer à cet instant, puisque l'esprit du groupe est que chaque image prise &quot;à la sauvette&quot; a une histoire. Ce groupe est dédié à l'imagination et à l'humour. 3- Puisque nous n'avons pas encore de trophées à distribuer pour le moment, vous n'êtes pas obligés de commenter les autres images dans le pool, mais la courtoisie et la simple curiosité intellectuelle sont appréciées. Utilisez le code de commentaire, si possible, afin de montrer votre appréciation et de laisser entendre (ce qui est vrai d'ailleurs) qu'il y a un paquet de belles photos dans le pool de &quot;À la sauvette&quot;, qui est d'ailleurs plus une galerie à part entière qu'un simple pool. 4- S'il vous plaît, mettez sur vos photos le tag &quot;<b>sauvette</b>&quot; L'admin fainéant et à mi-temps ne le fera pas toujours à votre place. Le tag facilitera les recherches globales et donnera ainsi plus de visibilité à vos photos et au groupe &quot;à la sauvette&quot;. 5- Il n'y a pas de restrictions sur les sujets, la nudité ou les choses politiques (hé, il y a déjà assez de censure comme ça sur Flickr), mais nous respectons ici un modèle de société proche des idéaux républicains français, version gauchiste et laïque : les gens préchant une religion ou des idées racistes ou antisémites seront exclus sans sommation. Les gens utilisant les fils ou le pool du groupe pour se faire leur propre publicité, ou mettant leur nom en avant sur les photos, ou couvrant de liens personnels les descriptions des photos, risquent de se voir bannis après avoir été avertis. La photo &quot;à la sauvette&quot; ne supporte pas les gros egos. Les gens qui insisteraient sans répit pour que soit acceptée dans le pool une photo qui a déjà été maintes fois refusée mettent aussi la patience parfois limitée de l'admin à rude épreuve... Pas de restrictions techniques. Nous ne sommes pas dogmatiques. Des photos retouchées ou coupées (crop) peuvent très bien être acceptées dans le pool si elles correspondent aux critères de la partie 1-.
