I thought this was more General than Automotive... please correct me if I am wrong though.

To make you continue to bitch about how the photo competitions are run.

To make you continue to bitch about how the photo competitions are run.

nice of you to back yourself up before making such accusations. Since I havent taken much interest or participation in competitions as of late so how the hell have i been bitching about how theyve been run? I was asking why the deadline's have changed. Stop being an arse ;)

EDIT: on a sidenote, i did a special gold comp for the auto comp #100 when i ran it. Maybe we should do one for this? a 2 week entry time and any photo from the first comp to this one can be entered? just a tip..

IIRC you were complaining when they put the name of the photo next to the name in the polls, and when the voting didn't go your way in the big "should photoshop be used in the photo competitions" debate.

No.

[Cotterik]

i wasnt complaining about that, i was pointing out how it was different to the usual context that has been followed since the competition began. Incase netburner didnt realise.


and when the voting didn't go your way in the big "should photoshop be used in the photo competitions" debate.

that was a debate. Just because my vote went against yours doesnt mean that I'm complaining, nor does it make you right. Many members agreed that maybe the rules that i had enforced for 1 the year that i ran the comps may not be suitable for more modern photography.

I'm not one to simply complain about anything here. There are some who will bicker and snap at people at the slightest sign of misinterpretation of the rules, yet you ignore that and say I'm complaining when i point out that the comp is being run differently to how it should..

Sony Cyber-shot DSC W90 with Partial Colour

What is partial Colour?

[Rockefella]

What is partial Colour?

The camera's sensor is set to filter a certain color and desaturates the other colors present in the picture.

Or something like that.

[Waugh-terfall]

Yeah, basically it means everything is black and white apart from the thing you want in colour

you should clear up your mind, these things are painted bright white, should be not reproduced in such a somber way

When I was there, they definately were not clear white. More like a creme - colour. Maybe because of the light or whatever, i don't know... This was just a .jpeg straight from the camera. Attached is a picture taken just a little bit earlier.

well, spot the difference with the earlier one....probably you heavily underexposed when you took the shot.

Underexposure brings out the best in stuff/people.
