    Default Nikon Squad vs. Canon Squad (Contest Discussion)

    So for fun I was thinking about getting this started.

    The whole premise is to not base what camera is better because we all know both produce excellent photos. Rather, this is to decide who dominateessssss IA in terms of photography skrillls and imagination (all in good fun).

    So heres how the contest will work:


    1. Each Squad member will take photos for two weeks. At the end of the two week period they will submit their best 3 (1024x768) photos unmarked and EXIF data removed.

    2. All of the photos will be posted unmarked and unclaimed by the original photographer and a voting scheme will be made for the general IA public to make multiple choices on which photos they like the most.

    3. Photoshopping is to be at a minimum but not restricted.

    4. The subject of the photos need to stay around something general. Photoshoots of cars are almost off limits because of the subject matter.


    So what do you guys think?

    yes you do.

    its a cop out for shitty photographers with no imagination or camera skills or compositional skills to "create" "eye pleasing" photographs. don't get caught up in the hype, young grasshopper.

    Lol, why would the Sonys throw in with the Nikon folks? Start your own Sony/Minolta Squad! You can call it the Royal S.A.S. (Sony Alpha Squad)...hoo-dee-hoo!) ....and take photos of PS3's and stuff)
