July POTM contest

[Fish]

Well, last months contest had 2 entries. The POTM contest really has not gotten much participation. No big deal. I have thought about it and decided to change the rules a bit.

There will be no more themes. Since this is a car website, we will be shooting pictures of cars. Why do this when there is COTM you say?? Well, COTM has a no photoshop stipulation. POTM does not.

You can submit any sick picture of yours or any other car that you shot. Doctoring the picture will be totally legit with this contest. HDR pictures will also count.

This will be for July since June is about to close. Due date for the pictures will be July 25th.

Mook, if this is a problem, please delete.

I figured it is the same thing, but there is no photoshopping allowed. Plus you can use other cars you have shot. So I figured this would get Jeremy and maybe some of the SR photographers involved.

Just when I was pretty certain my camera skills couldn't meet PANDA's crazy expensive camera rig, now I gotta compete with people's PS skills too? Damn!

Glad I got lucky and got my car into COTM with one of Joe's shots from my tear down!

 

[Mook]

sound logic

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

you son of a bitch. you should have a point and shoot theme for us not so into camera peoples.

You can photoshop any picture. Even from a point and shoot.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

this is true but that would require PS. old computer took a dump along with all my sick free programs like 3d studio max, solidworks, inventor, PS

CS3 shouldnt be that hard to find.

 

[Eagle]

I got CS2... seems to work just fine

That too. CS3 should be easy to find for "free" with CS4 being sought after now.

 

[DanJ]

I got a hell of a deal on creative suite cs4.

 

[PANDA]

No photoshop for the car of the month? I don't think that is enforced at all if you look at some of the entry's.

 

[Mook]

 

[Mook]

and no, i really havent been enforcing it too much

 

[Fish]

Cleaning up colors and some all out photoshop are two different things.

I actually forgot about Panda coming in and whining up the thread.

 

[Mook]
