Photo competition december 08

[Bat21]

Maybe we need to clarify the rules a bit. I think everyone agrees that the photos should be "all your own work" - but ......

* Are the photos supposed to be recently taken or can they be older? (I've got about 30 years worth of negatives salted away )

* Obviously the photos will need cropping or resizing. What other post processing are folks allowed to do?

My suggestion would be that photos should have been taken within the last say 12 months. Post processing should be limited to stuff like cropping, adjusting exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness and so on but the photo should be basically as taken - no tricky stuff like grafting in an impressive looking sky from a different photo.

Whaddya think?

Cheers

+1 :thumb2 sounds like a good plan to me.

How about:-

• A themed photo comp... sunsets shots or sea shots or lake shots mountains etc
• One thread for the photos to be posted in, and any comments/banter etc left in the thread.
• Then once the closing date has been reached, another thread created by the organiser with all the photos copied into post one for the voting.

Just my 2p's worth :nenau

sounds good to me.... but i think pics should be sent to the organiser, the week before voteing put into a therad for voting, so early ones arnt seen for longer, just an idea

there is no point in having a competition If there Is a need to cheat, or a wish to deceive.
Cath and I have a (Samsung NV30 with a varioplan ZOOM6.2-18.6mm whatever that is that we bought in a sale at asda,s in november

I don't think there's anything in my post that implies that anyone might cheat or intend to deceive - certainly no implication of that kind was intended. Photographers quite often extensively post process photographs in the name of art. You only need to pickup and glance through any of the photographic mags on the shelves at WH Smiths to see the kinds of techniques that are commonly used to make silk purses out of sows ears.

I was merely suggesting what I think is a common-sense boundary. Feel free to disagree.

Cheers

december photo comp

HI PLEASE DONT MAKE THINGS TO COMPLICATED .
IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS OF HOW TO MAKE IT EASY /QUICK AS POSSIBLE TO ORGANISE THEN THAT WOULD BE APPRECIATED OR IF ANYONE WANS TO RUN IT THATS OK AS WELL.

REMEMBER I AM NOT VERY GOOD WITH COMPUTORS

AFTER ALL ITS ONLY A BIT OF FUN.
I THINK AS REGARDS ALTERING PICTURES WHATS THE POINT .
AS LONG AS PICTURES ARE YOUR OWN EFFORTS TAKEN WHEN EVER ,
IT DONT MATTER.
AFTER ALL THE IDEA IS TO TAKE PICTURES AS AND WHEN THE OPPERTUNITYS ARISE

I'll second that. I'll also try to be around the next time there is a close conjunction between Jupiter, Venus and the moon - on 27th April 2022. Shame you didn't win - a great shot.

Thanks Andrew, but as they say, "its all just for fun",

just got back into astronomy and astrophotography, the girlfriend got me a very nice telescope for christmas and just bought a digital viewfinder to help with the photography
