Don't get me wrong...some of these pics are very interesting, and show some real talent. They're just above our heads and/or interest level. Flame away... |

Equipment means nothing, and I mean it. Give someone who knows what they are doing a $5 Pin Hole camera and they are still going to make a great image. Conversely give someone who does not want to learn a $20K Hasslbald Medium Format Camera and they are going to make nothing. Nor is it important if someone is a so called professional or an Amateur. There are Pro's out there making money who honestly make crap images! On the other hand there hobbyist that make great works of Art every day. I thought that sharing images was what every could do in a normal thread they are starting. ie: Here are some Pics of my kids, or of Fireworks, my new car etc...but that the competition threads were supposed to be different. Again guys I am definitely still the New Guy here so if I'm off base then please let me know. Lastly if people are not posting in contests because they feel they can't/won't win, I honestly find that abit sad. If that is the consensus in this forum I will gladly withdrawal all images and further posts. I teach photography from time to time so the last thing I want to do is discourage participation. |

I'm sure some of it is intimidation, but maybe most of us just aren't interested enough in the more esoteric subjects, to get up off the couch.
And that's as far as I'm going before anyone (including myself) gets butt hurt |

Personally I have really liked the fact that I don't know what the topics are before hand and that the images had to be taken this month. The Christmas one for example: I had taken what I thought was a pretty good shot the day Before the Christmas topic was announced. I came clean to the forum and let them know that I had a shot but it was one day before...the response was that the "Spirit" of the competition was to get people to go out and shoot. Instead of using the image I already had it forced me out of my comfort zone to actually take another shot entirely. For that I had to be more creative then prior...I learned and ultimately produced IMO a better image. There are "Snapshots" everywhere you go nowadays. Everyone has them on their phones, iPads, Facebook, Instagram etc... I was under the impression that the contests were supposed to be different. Again, I'm still the new guy here so I could definitely be off base. |

I can't speak for 2 1/2 years ago, just for the ones I took part in. True even those weren't always cars, but were things we shared a common interest in.
And I don't use facebook, iPads or the rest. My cheap digital camera is 8 or 9 years old Don't take any of this personally, you're a great photog...it's just that freeze frames of drops of water are beyond most of us, I think... Anyway, let us drop it in the spirit of getting along. I just wanted to get it off my chest, and I have. |
