Photo Battles?
 

Think of them as a spin-off from the monthly photo contests.

Instead of one topic and several people, why not two people go head to head over one car or landscape?

Then pics are posted and you vote for the overall set you like best.

Pro vs pro and amateur vs amateur categories

Who's interested?

I want to see ChrisPA and ilikerice go at it!

the only issue i see with that is that they could copy what the other did if they shot it together. but i would definitely give it a shot in the amateur category.

pro vs. amateur i'm in. put me up against some stiff competetion.

then after wards do we have a poll of voting or somethingg?

No one said they had to shoot at the same time.

Hey stealing shots happens, whoever does it better, does it better.

Works for me. let's do it.

I'd love to see this.

There will be blood...

i'd like to participate.

I'll play :)

This could be fun.

This is one of those contests where the guy who spent more money will just win by default.

People focus on gear way too much. I've posted pictures from a $400 set up; people who don't look at the EXIF data would never know and would think it's from my 1D MKII/70-200 2.8L IS set up.

^tru dat.

this could be very interesting.

I'm game.

I'm game as well

one thing though, can we keep the photoshop to a minimum. Granted I know most everyone photoshops but its just an idea.

It would be hard to limit that though

There should be a bracket

this sounds like a good idea actually

Maybe require the unedited image to be posted with the post processed version.
