Mr Owl PhD Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I quite like that picture. Torry wouldn't be the same without a few discarded shopping trolleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hmmm, my camera does exposure bracketing and I'm not afraid to use it!Nae sure I like modern photography competitions since that technique became available on every camera. It is over-used just now, and it is certainly an effect that is better when applied in moderation.Some cracking photos in there though.

Hog Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I thought that this year was full of very strong landscape work. Nice:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 yeah that shot of old man of Storr looks completely artificial. its a lovely part of the world but it doesn't quite look like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hdr using processing software like photomatix is different and can be spotted with shit halo effects round parts of the photo. I don't think any of these are obviously hdr.Some awesome pics on show there. I entered but wasn't quite upto standard this year. Maybe next year.

It seems to be the "in thing" just now, and I personally feel it is over used.Why the "ha" in your post, seems a bit condescending really.

Hog Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 It's not an HDR image. The sun coming through the sky would look a mess if it was HDR.I reckon that there is some layering of exposures to get that level of detail on the rock on the right hand side. Definately some Photoshop, although it's amazing what can be achieved with excellent lighting, composition and knowledge.I do think that the Skye image looks a bit artificial but it's also very well lit/ composed.

Hence my ha. Perhaps a little condescending but your original post was silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a little condescending but your original post was silly.I'm happy to be proved wrong, so point out where I said it was a modern technique please.I said it was a technique that I feel has been overused since it was made widely available.

ca_gere Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I thought having an abndoned shopping trolley in an urban landscape photo was perhaps a cliche as old as time. still an awesome photo. anyway, back to you fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Stop squabbling, photo geeks. To answer the OP I think I read in a paper that it did indeed win and the prize was ten grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
