Yes, lets please not have this. Every photographer , Id like to hold to an honor system as there is no prize, and this is just for fun. Please dont PM people telling others to vote for you, etc. Of course we'll never know, but still. This is purely for fun.

Remember bitches

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? LIKE TAKING SOME FUCKING PHOTOS. Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler.

I think there should be different rules during each week or what have you.It could possibly help some people progress and maybe change up their photographs a little.I'm pretty sure a majority stick w/their cars or so it seems,but most of us tend to go out and photograph alot more around us.

Just an idea don't bash hahaa.This all seems really fun and could actually help some folks get better at photography.

Agreed, only way you wouldn't be able to is if the person was trying a new part or wireless flashes, rig, camera, or something of that nature. Even then, with the editing it almost becomes too easy to pick out of the crowd.

james

^ different rules? how so?

i think the rules are perfect. like literally perfect. theyve done these contests before and they were always ruined by the rules. This is a themed contest. i think its great. or are you referring to the rule about over editing? i think alot of people use photoshop as a cop out for their photography skills, in turn - they never get better at photography.

I was referring to both the PS rule and the no automotive picture rule.I agree w/the photoshop rule because alot of people do tend to use it more rather than just taking an actual overall great picture.I started out that way but learned quickly that is the incorrect path.But I like both of these rules and was just meaning to say each time the OP changes the theme he should have a different rule or maybe add a different rule in it's place?.It kind of came out wrong but I mean well haha.But I do agree it seems fine the way it is..

i agree with this. none of my images are ever touched unless i crop and/or put my name on it. i dont claim to be the best, or even professional, by any means, but just something i enjoy from time to time. i'm still using a basic minolta dslr with the kit lens and a telephoto. nothing special.

if you are not retouching your photos AT ALL, then you will not make it ever. Every single shot coming out of ANY camera EVER needs at least some sharpening. AT LEAST.
