Photo Contest
- Thread starter fire-n-ice
- Start date
BTW, my submission was taken by a point-n-shoot camera. Even without any photoshopping, the picture turned out.
Most cameras will come with editing software. We like to say pics are "photoshopped" because it's a term people recognize, although we may have edited it with another program.
I think that as long as 1)the member took the pic; 2)the photo editing is in moderation (eg. license plate blurred, b&w filtering); 3)the editing is also done by the member... then it's fair game.
Back in the old Z4um days, a lot of the submissions were PS'd. Nobody had any problems with it. I know that there WAS one winner who probably didn't take the pic, but won the contest. I think it's more important that the pic was taken by the member FIRST and foremost.

I agree... the pic MUST be taken by the member.
Some things people do with editing packages are pretty good, and I just feel we'd miss out if we ban it all together.
Some people with thousands of dollars worth of photographic kit... expensive lenses, external flashes, etc..etc... can get great results too, are we going to ban them because we don't have those facilities at our disposal too?
Just my 2-penneth :?
Glad to see this suggestion came around to something resembling a reasonable compromise.
At least for me I have to use some form of photo processing software in order to get a picture that can be shown here at all. My camera shoots in a 3504x2336 format and I always use what Canon calls a RAW format. It is a requirement that I do some form of photo editing in order to produce a jpeg format file small enough to display on a computer screen.
That said, just for the record the photo I submitted in the photo contest does meet the criteria outline above. The "effects" in the shot I submitted were produced by rapidly panning the camera as cars went by with a moderately low shutter speed (1/60-1/80s) to blur the background while capturing the car in passing. The tilt effect is achieved by rotating the camera roughly 20 degrees clockwise while panning the camera for the shot. I got one usable shot of the Z4 out of about 8 shots.
