A fair of few of us decided it was sad cotm was gone and we tried to contact le mods but theyr probably busy so wer going diy. To get it back in swing the theme is open. Its simply a best photo competition. The winner will be picked via poll votes at the end of the month. That way everyone can enter! And voting is totally unbiassed

Prizes wer unsure of yet but il see what I can do. Post up people![/list]

Yeah e30 related :p crap we probably shoulda discussed that...i think yes in most cases as the official one was like that. Its fair because its not always about photographical skill, even the idea behind the picture can win votes.

E30 related.

The person entering should be cameraman...unless ofcourse theres themes like " me with my car or rolling shots " then the person entering will want to be with their car so a mate can take the shots

Yes you should have :D
I agree sometimes a good idea will beat a dull but technically correct shot- so it should!!

Then that should be entered by the person taking the shot!! Shoot your mates car if it's a rolling shot of get a mate to drive :wink:

So photo shopping the hell out of your own picture is fine? but if your mate takes the picture of YOUR car then that's no good??

I think its safe to say we understand that the photo has to be your own, and maybe we should just say the theme is E30, standing still... That way there is no 'what if's''s's's

Also, 1 entry per person so pick one and enter :D

The reason I didn't enter the last one because there were too many photoshop heroes and it made my 'Boots Wind-on' photos look shit :)

Rules are made to be broken anyway :D I mean 99.9% of the time it would be an unenforceable rule, as who's to know who took the shot?

Hmm looks like I might have to give the old crate a wash & get the old box brownie out as I know of a few places that'll make a good location (the joys of living on the edge of Sherwood forest lol).

If one wants to take their shot a stage further then why not- it's still creative!! That's the point isn't it- being creative? What is the point of a photo comp if the photo isn't one you took :mad:

This ^ You can still get photo editing stuff on phones, it might not be as in depth as photoshop or anything but even colour grading can make a difference!
