On Sale · 12-01-2006, 10:15 PM

why cant we put our name on it?

jspek · 12-01-2006, 10:16 PM

so there isnt any favoritism when voting starts.

97TurboDSM · 12-01-2006, 10:24 PM

but this is photos you take yourself right, so wont everyone know who is taking them by who the poster is?

sisforsurfing · 12-01-2006, 10:32 PM

You email them to him, don't post them, so no one knows whose is whose. I think it's a good idea, and we shouldn't hint as to which one is ours

Glad to see this is started, good theme idea! Time to start shootinggg

dt98gsr · 12-01-2006, 11:39 PM

I agree I think its a great idea that the names of the photographer rmain anonymous until the voting is done.

like sisforsurfing said, time to start shooting!

as of not I am still rockin my Canon SD450 P & S but we'll see what I can do.

04BlueSRT4 · 12-02-2006, 09:05 AM

Def a good idea keeping everything anonymous

97TurboDSM · 12-02-2006, 03:57 PM

ah yea i should learn to read before i post

95legenddriver · 12-03-2006, 11:41 AM

i have the same contest on my legend forum i guess iw ill use the same picture twice

DuBTEK3060 · 12-03-2006, 11:36 PM

alrighty then, start brainstorming!

vwcorradokid · 12-07-2006, 12:09 PM

Chaz...I suggest everyone post the type of camera they use and that way when you pull the EXIF data from the image...it makes it harder to counterfeit...We all know that I shoot with a D50...so I'll be the first.

Are these images to be kept 100% true or can Photoshop be used to manipulate them at all?

P.S.- Are you not joining in the contest since they are being sent to you?

TrboChicsRock · 12-07-2006, 05:35 PM

It's pictures of anything, right? It doesn't have to be car related?

sisforsurfing · 12-07-2006, 05:51 PM

I with vwcorradokid about posting the camera used. I'm pretty sure we're free to use as much photoshop as we want, right? I don't see why not, as that's a HUGE part of digital photography. That gives me a little step behind lots of people as I'm not that great with photoshop, but I still think it should be allowed.

Plus, without PS we could just shoot raw and change things in post-processing, which gives people with the ability to shoot raw an advantage over people who can't. You can't beat good composition and lighting, and photoshop should just be used to as a compliment.

jspek · 12-07-2006, 05:53 PM

added the camera used in the first post. and jess it can be anything that is festive, doesnt have to be car related. and yes photoshop is fine unless you really start to alter the photo where it looks fake haha. and no im not participating in this contest since i am running it. ill find someone to pass it on to next month.

I'll alternate months with you if you want.

95legenddriver · 12-08-2006, 11:15 AM

imm still waiting to go home!

the mike · 12-08-2006, 07:01 PM

I think there should be a thread with pics that AREN'T getting sent in, to kind of motivate or inspire people. If you shoot a bunch, email Chaz the one you want to submit, but post the rest. This way others can see different ideas.

**TROLL** · 12-08-2006, 07:57 PM

na, then people will know the 'theme' of your photos and when your actual submission is posted it will be easy to pick out. i say we just work on our own here and when its time to post the single submission its time...

I totally agree with you. I'm sure a few people's photos will stick out as their own because a few people have posted enough pictures that everyone knows their general style of shooting as well as how they lay the photo out in photoshop with a frame, etc... I'm gonna make a point not to do my usual black border. LOL.

It says in the first posts you can't use any borders.
