The TeakDoor Photo Competition with great prizes

[baldrick]

The TinEye search engine allows users to search by uploading a picture rather than typing in a keyword. It then conducts a pixel by pixel search across the internet, flagging up all instances of that image even if it's been cropped, merged or digitally altered in some way.

Nice pic, shame about the floor standing fan.

Is it too late to photoshop the bloody thing out

I disagree with this, keep the fan , it is quirky and unexpected in a somewhat dull and ordinary picture. I like it from the unconventional side. Unexpected and odd is what makes this picture, you see hundreds of perfect ones, but in this one you find the tweak it becomes rather more interesting.

I would pick the silly fan out as a focal point, a sort of snub the nose thing that in all that history and culture, modernisms still has a role and place.Nice pic.

I think the electric lights do that in a subtle enough way already.

Oh shut u and post your own pics!
The competition is fierce, I'ma drunk hungry and there are too many good pictures posted. I'll never win so I will say that this my third picture in this game should be CONSIDERED MY ENTRY (what a bunch of stupid fuckin rules).
Anyway; A night out in Chiang Mai:


ISO 400
Exposure: 1/3 second
Apertature: f/3.5
focal lentgth: 18mm Corrected to 27 for fullsized 35mm equiv.
Shot off hand crouched down behind some motorcys (or in th egutter if your pefer)
I really liked my two earlier posts the one with the two chicks surprised me after I shot it. I thought it a very lucky shot on review. It is part of a a big production in ChiangMai I calthe running og hte freshmen ( a thread to follow) But this particular shot, is Chiangmai at night. I just like it for that reason. this is my entry. HEY! DOG!!! you see this??? This is my Choice to enter!

I like it Frank, and would happily vote for it if it didn't break rules 48(ii)b of the Fifth Schedule and 104(viii) of the eighth amendment to Part V Section 7c.

There's always next year...

Ok, my third and last, tis from a bar in Patpong.



i think i'm picking my second.

I specifically questioned the use of Photoshop earlier in the competition. It was rightly allowed, after all, art is art.

I can supply RAW files if requested, I'm trying to avoid using Photoshop to improve my picture taking.

Maybe we should have a prize for piccys that are photoshoped and piccys that are natural with no friggin tweaking or improving.

I mean fok dudes, every bustard is happy that way.

Besides that, all mine are in pure form and you other buggers are cheating.

[ChiangMai noon]

that's an excellent picture Frankie and a real shame we can't vote for it.

[bustak]

yeah, that's a good photo FF, where is that?

[bustak]

^ That is gorgeous! Nice color, composition, & subject matter. Good job.

This is now my entry, I withdrew the 2 school children photo:

[klongmaster]

^should have been your #1 choice all along busters...wonderful...great contrast of colours...the black centre is superb...

the best yet I think...

[Megahorn]

^^^ Very nice shot T. Nice colours,very nice natural perspective etc etc. Bit boring though. The kind to have hanging on a wall that is always there, looks good, but doesn't grab the attention and make you focus in on different aspects, have a conversation about, tell people about, and makes people look twice. IMHO.

Nice though.

[DrAndy]

^proffesional what Noodles?

proffesssional speller

[Bobcock]

I love both pics on this page.

[dirtydog]

Bit boring though

I think the Mona Lisa painting and that sun flower painting were a load of crap, wouldn't mind owning them though, only for a day or 2 before I stuck them in the auction.

[Fstop]

How are you guys posting your pics at such big sizes? I have to shrink mine down to a measly 500 x 375 to come in under the 200kb.
