[2 Zero]

Nice pictures everyone!

I have decided that from this point forward I will not vote for any picture that has been photoshoped. Just my opinion it makes cool pictures but not for a compitition.

[Aebous]

Great Pics. Is it me or was there alot more pics this time around?




I still agree/think that there should be a photoshop competition and non photoshop.

But how to define photoshopped...

But how to define photoshopped...

Even 20 Ducks picture this month with the star on it wouldn't be allowed in my world.

For me it depends. I know my camera can do some crazy stuff if I mess with it. Normally I stick with the basic saturation or lack thereof and leave it at that. Some of the pics if they are just a (is balance the right tech speak?) transfer than I can live with that, as it's a simple slider....no work involved really. I love the guys who really put alot of time in photoshop and make those pics seem super sweet, I just feel semi cheated when they enter and all I have is a point an shoot with no editing. I guess you could say I feel like a old fashioned proffesional film photographer compared to some upstart with a digi camera. Granted I was never a big film photographer. This all being said, I don't think this months competition had any majorly edited photos. A few touched up, but nothing major. JMHO

Which brings us back to the question....How to define photoshopped?



It's one of those things that IMO you just can't please anyone on, and with everyone having a different opinion on what is and isn't photoshopped, it would impossible to please half us folk.








That was typed with a buzz....am I doing better?

[DHK]

yeay, I got it right this time. Congratulation, Pasi!

[WLH]

We'll have to wait to hear from 20Ducks but that effect can be gained from a star filter on the camera. Do we ban those too? What lenses are allowed to use?

We could go on forever and a day with this and we would never please everyone. How to define photoshopped is a contentious issue to say the least.
