Photo competition: winners gallery!

Here's something for you...

I went back to my first D70 shots the other day, which are JPEGs. I didn't really know what I was doing at the time (if I had, I'd have shot RAW) and they're particularly flat, D70 trademark images.

Here's one:

Here's the same image, post processed:

http://wapoc.com/crap/replacement1.jpg

Mainly all I did was set the grey point and play with curves. There's a bit more to it than that, but not much.

Here's another:

and the original:

The processed versions might not be to everyone's tastes but I'm sure you agree that something needed doing, and that they're not inherently completely crap shots in the first place if they can be turned into these.

Still there, man.

My photo was 'digitally enhanced' (what an awful term), I knocked out the colour and gave it a night-vision-like greenish tint.

and the original:

I prefer the original, to be honest, maybe with just a slight tweak of the levels (or maybe in B&W).

I didn't even realise that gallery existed alef Nice work with all the links - just had a look at 11 going on 17 which I think is one of my favouritest of bosky's pics ever


Doesn't detract from your post firks, that was loads of work and easy to read and posted just at the right moment for the thread (as I started to derail it with topics done before d'oh), thanks again

I have had the impression that few people notice this sticky! Agree with you that squelch/bosky's winning portrait is exceptional, it's grown on me with time.

Princess by Barking Mad has always been one of my favourites, although I think the original entry was a lot larger making the tiara more pronounced.

In January we can have a best winner of 2006 poll...

My post arrives on a different thread

Best of 2006 sounds good ...

 

[Firky]

Oohh its all been updated

I'm trying to now keep these updated each month. But I've run out of energy for helping with the thumbnails...

I've now posted up a brand new section dedicated to the fantastic photo competition here

Thanks to Alef for the images (and nagging!) and hiccup for the archive pages - I hope that the gallery does justice to al the fine work. With luck, it'll soon get a good listing in google and help publicise the work.

Note: I've left the urban75 copyright notice in as a precaution, but naturally I'm not claiming copyright! If anyone gets in touch regarding using the images, I'll obviously contact with the photographer

Just noticed an error in the Winners Gallery: the winner was joint, between Clare and Stowpirate, April 2012: but the photo included is one of mine.

Is it worth keeping this as a pinned thread?
