Hi,

I was thinking...wouldn't it be good to have a Photography Competition?

That way people who can't draw or animate could take a picture!

I guess we could have themes like the GFX Art Battles...

What do you think?

Is a mod interested in organising and judging it?

Do we want to have an AP reward or not?

@kingryan: in my opinion, the winner doesn't need and AP...
you should only give AP to someone if its a stunningly amazing photo ... but thats just what I think...

No. I think this should just be a fun thing for people to enjoy themselves.

I don't think people should be pressured b6 AP, or people only doing it because they want AP. It would definitely be smart to leave an AP reward out.

i have a question...can the photographs we take be put into photoshop and changed around a bit or should it be a photo without any externally added effects?...

I think that we might not start off with AP, but maybe add it on later...

Also, I don't think we should be editing the pictures on Photoshop...I think we should rely on camera skill not program skill.

@kingryan: you are right, but sometimes, while taking the photo, you might have forgot to put on a filter or put the wrong one, or something...i think we should be allowed to use photoshop to fix mistakes of that sort...but thats just what i think...

How about you can only change things to make it greyscale, sepia etc...or to crop it. Nothing else....especially not the sharpen thing...that is cheating...isnt it?

I know a fair amount about photography, and I am an amateur photography in my spare time. I would be happy to judge

@kyngryan: agreed...now your thinking along my lines :P and yes, sharpening would be cheating since a photographer must choose his focus and etc while taking the photo, not after taking it
however, there is one problem... how would we know if someone manually sharpened/retouched the photo? not implying that anyone on these forums cheat :P ... but don't we have to be ready for anything?

well if he chooses to start it now.I don't really have a decent camera though to compete(my digital camera is really poor to the point where it is hard to even use)So unless something happens,then you probably won't see me on this contest.
