Voting - April competition

Personally think that having seperate leagues is a bad idea, as it's just a bit of fun.

Theoretically, a good user with a compact will get a better picture than a rank amateur with a few grands worth of DSLR. So it's not necessarily about the camera, more about the application.

As for RAW, i thought post-processing wasn't really allowed for much more than simple cropping etc.?

 

1990 only wants seperate leagues because he thinks his fetching pink number isn`t up to the job...

 

not true, my wife has a sub 100 10mp samsung compact and that can shoot in manual mode (as can most digi compacts these days) and she can get up to 8 second long exposure.

 

you are still limeted and they do have that dreadful shutter lag...

 

Amazing pictures all round, number 9 gets my vote, wish I could take pics like that.

 

obviously someone who knows how to use a dslr in manual compared to someone who knows how to use a compact in manual is going to be slightly limited, but its only a fun competition, nothing to win here other than someones name getting known as a winner from such month.

 

i whole hartedly agree there is a difference, and was mearly making a point. not wishing to aggatate somone...

 

Think I worded it wrong, I re-read my post and I do sound a bit agitated, but I'm not. Just merely saying

 

Yours is a load of **** as well. It makes me look like i've got greasy hair and a double chin!!!

You've also just revealed my 'hand in pocket, finger over lens' technique that get me the best results from a 47 Fuji!!

 

dont quite get what your saying isn't true. Because your wife has a 100 compact that means compacts can't cost upwards of 250+??

I spent 180 on a olympus compact for my ex and it was total pants bit more could have seen her with an entry level slr

 

in what way was it pants?

 

Some exellent shots again this month, I spent an hour trying to get a shot like no9 too, gave up & didn't enter at all.[:^(]

Tough decision between Nos 6 & 9, so I voted for no6 out of sheer jealousy of no9

Has Antikariba chosen next month's subject yet?

 

That he has not - yet anyway -

 

It is possible to take a shot like number 9 with a compact but it might well take you alllllll day to fluke it!!

 

And the winner is..........?

 

Is it not you?

 

Me!

 

Congratulations.

Second place is a small victory for the point-and-shoot compact.

 

Thanks... i voted 6 for what its worth!

 

Thanks.
I voted #2, it reminded me of the alien from Abyss; the water that is, not the baby.
