i missed speedracers entry in the last comp. i guarantee it is edited. im positive. i have a very similar camera. while his has a slightly different/bigger sensor, i know that isnt how photos look when they come out of canon's dslrs. there is no doubt in my mind. i dont care. i wish it could be entered. but if people refuse to except anyone elses pictures if they have been edited even the slightest bit, then there is no way that entry can be accepted. and that is highly edited. contrast and saturation have gone way up in post.

we can decide in future whether (if it earns a victory) the win be kept on speedracers behalf. For now i dont want to be kicking user's entries from the competition without proper investigation.

Havent heard from speedracer yet, whats the rush?

[SPHFerrari]

you havent heard from him because he knows he edited it and he was called on it. he has posted since the validity of his entry was questioned and hasnt responded, and i dont think it is because he didnt see.

[Speedracer38]

dude take the stick out of your ass:rolleyes: Oh no my picture was edited the world is over!! Want me to go look in old competitions for pictures you edited in PS and no one noticed?? You have done it to.....in fact all your pictures are edited in PS so STFU.

Thats the only picture that i have ever entered that was photo shopped. I dont care if you guys accuse me but SPH was just a dick about it. Ill enter something tomorrow though.....when does the picture have to be taken again?

[werty]

all you guys need to take a chill pill, speedracer38 is a great photographer regardless of PS and the same goes with alot of other poeple in these comps


so just shut it and and sumbit your pics already;)

[SPHFerrari]

i said originally i dont care speedracer. im not trying to be a dick. but everyone else is so uptight about not letting us enter any edited photos that im not gonna just let other people tromp all over that. i have argued relentlessly to let photos like yours (and mine) into the competitions to no avail.

so STFU you dick :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cool: :p :mad: . how old are you? jesus.

EDIT:

you know what, after reading my posts again, i realize, i WAS trying to be a dick. because i hate speedracer. and you know what? i dont care. i dont care what you think jason because you are the most immature person ive ever met. i cant even begin to explain how childish you are. if i wanted to put in the effort to try and explain, it would only be in vain. dont get so mad that you got called on it. you knew it was coming come on were not ****ing stupid. but you know, neither me nor anyone else are going to do anything about the fact that you tried to trick everyone. because were sensible people. i guarantee nobody on this board is going to go out of their way to effect your real life by contacting people you have done business with, with the intent on getting you in trouble. that is more than anyone can say for you.

[Speedracer38]

how old are you? jesus.

I'm old enough to know smoking is bad for you....I guess our parents didn't teach you very well.

[SPHFerrari]

good lesson speed!!! well done!! smoking kills!

what are you talking about??

[karc]

what kinda stupid rule is that? no editted photos? how can you prove a photo isnt editted anyways? you can make subtle changes and have no idea. are u saying peoples photos have to be of such shitty quality that theres no way it can b editted and we pick the worst looking one? wtf... its not like professional photos arent editted. learn to use photoshop.. its pretty easy.. and change this rule. i havent entered photo comps in months and i still felt this is a dumb enough rule to post about having it changed.

Is a simply and easy to follow rule. Some of us don't know how to use photoshop and some of us don't even have photoshop. It's like bringing a modified car to stock-car race... NOT ALLOWED.

There's a comp going on right now where editing is allowed, in this one it isn't. It's all about your abilities with a camera and not photoshop. If you guys can't get that then is not anybody's problem any longer, and I believe this shouldn't even be discussed any further.

[werty]

this is ridiculous

[johnnynumfiv]

I'm begining to loose respect for UCP as the days go on, it's not like the good ol' days on here anymore so I'm probably going to be leavin sometime soon.

I have been doing it slowly, i figure by this time next year i wont use ucp, or maybe i will, just to piss off the liberals;)

[spi-ti-tout]

If it makes any of you happy (perticularly SPH / Rik), the PEdit competition's rules are going to be a bit more relaxed. I've suddenly understood why editing is needed sometimes, so I'm revising the rules. The only way to settle this is to have two competitions: One disallowing edit like this one so a majority aer happy and one edit-allowed one for the others, including me. Not my fault if anyone thinks it's silly, it's the only way I see.

For those who still don't understand, I've attached a picture of a Cayman S I took recently. Here, have a look at example 1 first, then 2. A lot of times you have to edit your picture because something comes in the way of opportunity. For example, look at the Cayman I've uploaded. On preedit, it was dark, dull, dusty and there was a Nissan Maxima in the background ruining the look. In the edited photo, I've covered the Maxima with the very same wall and made the picture, on a whole, much much brighter.

In the book "The world's greatest hundred photos", I think the 56th photo, was a brilliant picture with a gigantic iceberg, perfect blue underneath and a few penguins here and there, but the sky was strangely a reflection. I read the summary and the photographer was describing why he edited off a very dull and uninspiring sky because it would ruin the look of the amazing iceberg pic he took. I'll try and see if I can find it, but that was just another example.

[2ndclasscitizen]

does Photoshop remove photo data (its called EXIF for my camera), all the info on shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc.? Cause if it does, that'd be an easy way to tell. Just ask for the original file with the intact data

[spi-ti-tout]

Not all of us photoshop, 2ndclass.

[2ndclasscitizen]

i'm not accusing any of photoshopping spi, i'm just forwarding that as an idea to determine if someone has shopped a photo if there is doubt. I hardly know PS at all, don't have it at home and don't use it

[spi-ti-tout]

Never accused you of accusing, mate :)

I was just trying to imply that while PS may be the most common program, there are other edit programs too which are used by people. I hardly know PS / ever use it myself, so you never know, there are other programs which work differently. But however I believe if we follow my suggestion there won't be any need to edit the photos in the normal comp.

I don't know wether you were alive or not when photography wasn't a digital affair. On those times, a good pic was only a good pic and that was it. You couldn't edit, and still, competitions existed.

This is the 59th competition! Wake up! Accept the rules or leave the comp.

[johnnynumfiv]

There are a lot of things you can do in the dark room to change a picture.

Don't you think things some things should change even tho its the 59th comp? It's getting incredibly boring.


One problem with exif data thing 2ndclass, usually pictures are to big to upload in an unedited state.

i didnt say you cant take good photos... i said theres no way to prove a photo hasnt been editted to look good. the only way would be to have all crappy photos that no one would bother to edit and pick the best one.... it was a bit of an exageration to make a point that the rule is stupid... and btw i left the comps quite awhile ago.

what are you talking about??
:rolleyes: you know full well what hes talking about, but im not gona start into that again.

In the end if someone just adjusts contrast and other small sh!t no one will ever know, its once you start blurring and stuff when people notice. PS is a new photography tool, I'm just not sure how it fits into this comp.

[VtecMini]

Just incase anyone's still pondering the exif data thing, don't bother.

There's programs that you can use to edit it, so the exif data can tell just as many lies as the image.

Cry. You guys do understand that photoshop is a $600+ program, and not everyone downloads things illegally or has the funding to buy the program. Submit your picture according to the damn rules, and don't cheat your way through it. Everyone else submits (or is supposed) unedited photos, and by you editing the pic, gives you an unfair advantage. It's like running for President w/ 1,000,000 votes guaranteed your way. I'll let the picture do the talking.

ok well photoshop is just used as a common word for "image editor program" most people are talking about using photoshop... but you could also use many cheaper and free programs to touch up images....

btw i havent broken the rules.. im just arguing for a change in them.

[my porsche]

Don't you think things some things should change even tho its the 59th comp? It's getting incredibly boring.

i think its getting boring simply because of the repitition of subject matter, every sees a picture that won, takes a picture of the same thing and hopes to win!

or maybe the competition has just run its course


I'm begining to loose respect for UCP as the days go on, it's not like the good ol' days on here anymore so I'm probably going to be leavin sometime soon.
so am i, stupid quarrels, the f'ing jelly things, random crap, the competitions becoming boring and people cheating, its just not as good anymore

Not necessarily, people like Wouter, you, McReis (I think), etc are against piracy.

[johnnynumfiv]

Photoshop elements is 99 bucks, and usually free with scanners. It has almost everything CS does and a great alternative to paying 600 bucks for CS.

[my porsche]

Not necessarily, people like Wouter, you, McReis (I think), etc are against piracy.
oh i was thinking it was you, cuz we had that whole discussion about why i wont steal it...or maybe that wasnt you

[hercmostar]

almost everyone edits their photos with some sort of program to resize them anyway :-)

If you want to post edited photos go to the photo-edit compitition... not here. it is as simple as that.

[johnnynumfiv]

Even in the photo-edit comp there are limitations, which there shouldn't be.

[werty]

the problem with "using the p-edit photo comp" instead of this comp is that people here that have one the comps are listed so in the first post....they almost all used some sort of saturation and contrast edit to win, i know i did for my 3 victories

so people dont want to start another comp after being in this one for so long, i think a p-edit comp is a good idea, however, i do believe minor editing should be allowed for this comp, and if not, then ALL of the past victories for this particular comp MUST BE erased to be fair

so either allow minor editing in this comp or erase all past comp wins (you cant change the rules at comp 59, thats too late in the game!)

[hercmostar]

The purpose of this comp is to demonstrate camera skills based around automobiles. So that means the picture shouild come straight off the camera, resized and chucked into the competition. If you wanted 'That picture lighter or darker' etc. then use different camera settings. THIS COMP IS FOR SKILLED USE OF A CAMERA, PHOTOSHOP IS NOT PART OF A CAMERA!! It should be only used for resizing the picture to 800x600 or less to meet the requirements.

anyway, here's my pic:

Anybody else wanna let everyone know how their cheated their way into winning?

[johnnynumfiv]

I use settings on my camera for brightness/contrast/saturation for everyone of my photos but that is done on the camera when I shoot the photo. Does that mean I cheated too?
And for those who can't do that on the camera when they shoot the picture why can't they do it afterwords?

1- You can do much more on an editing software than on your camera.

2- It's all about the moment and not what you can do afterwards. If you can quickly set up your camera and take a great photo in seconds during a car race or something then you have skills and that's what the comp is all about... If you take a crappy photo and make it just perfect by playing around with it 20 minutes on photoshop then what's the point?

[johnnynumfiv]

I'm just curious, who has entered a real life photo competition before?
There are no rules except size and having it matted on a board. Why should this photocomp be so different? Why should those of us who actually want to move on in photography have to lag behind because of those who happen to see a car and take it with thier cheap ass point and shoot and have no clue about post processing?

PS most people don't even notice post processing unless it smacks it in their faces.

Maybe because it is the rule in this comp?

My god you are talking like little children in the Kindergarten "oh, lets do it this way", "no, lets do it that way", "mummy, he took my teddy"...


READ THE RULES AND FOLLOW THEM OR GO OUT AND CRY!


It can't be to difficult to take a good picture with your cams and then show it to us in here. If I can do it with a 3.2 MP digicam, you can also do it with more expensive cams.

And don't tell me something about "good photographers are editing, too"... Somebody, who is editing his photos will never be a good photographer, because he isn't better than everybody else who can use PS or other progs!




So, back to topic: when will the comp come up?

My question is why can't these rules change?

[netburner]

My question is why can't these rules change?


We had 58 comps and we are in comp 59, my question is: why should we change them now? There were 58 comps before while you had the chance of give your opinion about bad rules. But there were only some minor rumors, specially since around comp 50. So there were 49 comps without any bad meanings about the rules AND there is another new comp for pictures you can change as much as you would like to.

My opinion is, that this rules are ok, and the only thing I change in my pics are license plates, because there are people, who won't like to see them in the internet.

It's time for a change, thats why we should change them now. The new edit comp is still limited in what you can do, it's not really the answer to this competition's rule.

[werty]

That sucks Werty.

Anybody else wanna let everyone know how their cheated their way into winning?
I'm not admitting to cheating, nor did i say it was cheating. I only admitt, that my past 3 victories i did use minor saturation changes. But no more than anyone else had OBVIOSLY used too.

So DO NOT single me out, everyone that has one, well at least 50 of the 59 comps there was contrast or saturation editing, and just now the sucky photographers are complaining about it.

My point is, my past victories would have won just as easily without saturation enhancement, and even then it was done with the Camera, not PS.

lets see here, i know for a fact that fast autos, rebirth of Xar, Titanboy, speedracer38, and more of you have used some sort of saturation in their photo's, and they are some of the biggest winners

but saturation isn't what got them to win, it was superb photography, you guys should be taking lesson's from these guys, not telling them to stop being good at what they do

I am not taking my Camaro picture out of this weeks comp, it was edited on the camera, i only used PS for resizing.

Seems like you actually want to single me out when you say "you guys"...

[johnnynumfiv]

You're pathetic niko.

[Cotterik]

So, back to topic: when will the comp come up?

monday evening, as the rules state.

this debate is getting out of hand. in the next week or so I'll post a detailed poll to decide what the majority of users wish the comp rules to be, then it will be settled. no more bickering.

[Niko_Fx]

You're pathetic niko.

No, YOU and your childish attitude are. You guys love to whine and cry over every single little thing even after 59 comps. Get over it already and follow the rules.

[johnnynumfiv]

Yay I have a childish attitdue!!! w000000t.

Straight off of the camera, used photoshop to resize

did the shoot at dawn up in Kings Park, near the DNA Tower (if Perth users are curious as to where i took the picture)

This is a comp for good photographers.

If you want a comp for those who like to fiddle with their photos then start another comp.

Awesome, thanks a lot :)

[McReis]

it was a bit of an exageration to make a point that the rule is stupid... and btw i left the comps quite awhile ago.

Then why complain if you're not a part on this discussion? You decided to put yourself out of the comps, and so did I for a while as I understood the results were unfair. But I decided to come back and accept things as they are, just for the fun of competing.
Of course it's almost impossible to say if a pic was edited or not. But the idea behind the rule is to avoid those in wich the digital manipulation is way too obvious.

[Fumacher]

come on guys....this competition is not something to earn your money with ....
Keep it nice and friendly :)

[johnnynumfiv]

You people act like you can't be a good photographer and use photoshop at the same time.

[suzq044]

u guys do realise, photoshop was designed as a digital darkroom right?.. made for photographers... anyways.. lets stop the arguing and get back to the comp!

[derekthetree]

You people act like you can't be a good photographer and use photoshop at the same time.

i think everyone is saying that you can be a good photographer and not use photoshop at the same time.

[whiteballz]

holy shit.. this is mental. here is UCP the WORLDS BEST car forum, and we are all bickering about photography comps.

PERSONALY - everyone could have gone a better and smoother route to the end of a discussion. why couldnt someone take the initiative to start a poll, to see what people want? just for this i am making a poll now, to see what comps are wanted.
