Re: The Giant Photo Contest!
By no Photo shop do you mean no photo editing at all or just photo shop specifically?

If anything, street art is the MOST LITERAL FORM OF ART! if street art has made any negative impression on society today, its that it has made every 13 yr old with $100 and an eBay account into an art know-it-all.

Re: The Giant Photo Contest!
well i shoot in all RAW which requires photo editing. i think you should change the rule to no photo manipulation because exposure/contrast/white levels/etc are all considered photo editing and if we can't do any of that then i'm out.fukum wrote:No Photo editingBackpackpunk wrote:By no Photo shop do you mean no photo editing at all or just photo shop specifically?

Got Yah! The way I see it is if your working in a dark room then yes you do have to work somethings out but if your shooting digital then the shot you get is the shot you get.

Re: The Giant Photo Contest!
actually if you shoot in digital then the shot you get is not always the shot you get. RAW is a digital file which is equivalent to a film negative and the computer is equivalent to darkroom... my digital camera shoots in RAW and in order to get the final image it needs to be edited ("developed") in photoshop/lightroom/aperture/etc.fukum wrote:fribhey wrote:well i shoot in all RAW which requires photo editing. i think you should change the rule to no photo manipulation because exposure/contrast/white levels/etc are all considered photo editing and if we can't do any of that then i'm out.fukum wrote:No Photo editingBackpackpunk wrote:By no Photo shop do you mean no photo editing at all or just photo shop specifically?

Re: The Giant Photo Contest!
Cool. Im not much of a photo guru and didnt really want there to be that much of a problem with people entering in photos. So anyone can send in anything they want. Just no crazy photoshopped sh!t.

Re: The Giant Photo Contest!
Some nice pics there guys...do you have a secret to getting shooting around the cr@p on the windows? CP filter or something similar? I too love shooting pics out the window of a plane, but can't get around the nasty stuff in between the windows or all the scratches on the window. thx!fribhey wrote:cool. i love taking photos from planes. here are a few i took:slidingaround wrote:Took this a couple of months ago, flying to Barcelona, Spain.

Re: The Giant Photo Contest!
are you using a point and shoot or slr/dslr? it has to do with depth of field. the problem with a point and shoot is that it has a limited zoom range and a very big depth of field which will pick up on the window as well as what's past the window. with a slr/dslr you can zoom past the window and the depth of field will be past the window and any marks on the window won't be seen. because a point and shoot has a large depth of field everything is usually in focus (the subject, the foreground and background) but with a slr/dslr you can shorten the depth of field depending on the focal length and aperture. when you have a short depth of field the background is blurred out which is called bokeh and the foreground is to close to be even picked up by the lens. with a dslr you can take photos out of a house window without seeing the screen on the window or stand behind a chain linked fence without seeing the fence in the shot, it's all because you are zooming past the foreground objects and eliminating them from the depth of field.DunDun wrote:Some nice pics there guys...do you have a secret to getting shooting around the cr@p on the windows?
