That's the first thing I thought of when i saw this, but oh well. the person with more time to spend waiting for the right light has a huge advantage.

regarding editing, I think composite images should be nixed but otherwise whatever.

You don't always get the chance to wait for the perfect lighting. Sometimes you have to do the best with the current circumstances, or bring your own light.

I think compositing should be allowed to an extent. You may only source your own set of photos, and not incorporate outside resources into your shots.

Spocknasty · 05-01-2008, 08:29 PM

There are a few options.

Car photos
We can set a window of time for the person to shoot. A week sounds good. The same location must be used, same car. This will allow the photographer to shoot when they have time, and / or when they feel they can produce the best picture.

How about one interior shot, one engine bay shot, and three exterior shots. You can go wide, macro, whatever. Input please.

djb5118 · 05-01-2008, 08:35 PM

i dont know about restricting it to car photos.

EvlEgl · 05-01-2008, 08:37 PM

The first Competition should be Car based, Then move it on from there...I agree with letting Spock choose first then make a poll from there on out

I agree. There's no substitute for good natural light but a better photographer will have better workarounds. I was just observing that someone with a lot of time to spend on this will have more chances for good results, obviously.

i'll be down. this thread blew up quick! let me just look through it to see whats going on

!Funny · 05-01-2008, 09:22 PM

i'm in too. . . spock start it up dude. . .

YellowMSP · 05-02-2008, 12:32 AM

i'd be down for this. sounds like a good idea

WhiteXFire · 05-02-2008, 12:39 AM

I say make it like Iron Chef...have the big 3 or 4 "Champions" and rotate challengers who get to pick their opponent. Whoever's running the contest (Spock) will pick the secret ingredient (the subject) and everyone votes on the winner.

Spocknasty · 05-02-2008, 01:09 AM

^ Eh that's too complicated. Who decides who's the champions anyway. I don't think people should be forced to shoot what others what.

Since it was my idea, I'll go first. Who else wants to step into Picture Club?

jspek · 05-02-2008, 01:27 AM

id do it, but oh yea i moved. gay.

Spocknasty · 05-02-2008, 01:32 AM

Move your ass back!

PAFirefighter11 · 05-02-2008, 09:17 AM

Picture Club... lol... The first rule of picture club is...

grimm · 05-02-2008, 10:25 AM

I'm thinking it probably would be easier to have both photogs shoot on the same day but they are each allowed like 15-30 mins with the subject. granted the lighting will be slightly different, but if it is done at night or during mid day, then the lighting changes won't be so significant between the two sets. but this way it's more or less a true battle. Like Iron Chef they have a limited time to create their dishes.

I dunno i think this would be fun, just don't know when i could find the time.

redg2 · 05-02-2008, 11:38 AM

yea getting evryone together at the same time would be a little hard

Chris_PA · 05-02-2008, 05:18 PM

What about:
-Set a topic (i.e. car, portrait or something a little more specific)
-Pick two people to go at it
-Set a deadline

I know the photos and everything would be really different, but part of what makes a photog good is what they are able to envision in a certain topic

I don't know
Just a thought
