Vegas Chad? or another Chad?

On a side note people need to read the rules on size and quality of the images they submit.

Vote for a new rule

Brad,

I vote for a no saturation rule. If you are having your computer saturate it or your camera...does not matter. Check out this website:

http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d300/picture-control.htm

Cameras are becoming more and more like computers with their settings...so I vote no saturation on pics (yea artists do it to make it look better, but they are doing it to sell the pics).

Agreed. It is the same as manipulating the photo with software like Photoshop, even if it is a camera setting. It misrepresents the animal.

[NewOwner]

Sorry if this has already been asked, but i havent read much about photo contests... So is there like.. a theme ever?

Does anyone ever win with a 200 Fujifilm digital camera (Pretty crappy)

Id like to try this, that'll be neat

 

[Syn]

First time entering for me!

No editing for me, I prefer to go all naturaaaal.

edit: I just noticed it resized it to 600 pix? when it needs to be 800 pix.. uh oh..

 

[ConcertPhotog]

Technically a digital camera only shoots in B&W. Everything else is just interpolation based on how the light is passing through filters on the surrounding pixels of the sensor. All cameras are different in how they interpolate this data, and settings vary greatly between manufacturers.

Agreed. It is the same as manipulating the photo with software like Photoshop, even if it is a camera setting. It misrepresents the animal.

 

[jojackson]

I just entered my pic for fun, Im not a serious contender since Im not even in the US, besides I suck at photography. I thought he looked cute though.

 

[vindicatedornot]

I sent in my pic in hopes of the gift certificate. I've spent 700 dollars already on my first cham, and I still need to buy his adult cage >_< Baby Fry has got me broke. I used photoshop to resize my picture because its so easy, but I didnt alter the picture in any way. I hope that doesnt disqualify me
