XTreme Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 My personal feeling is if you need to brighten an image up a bit because of bad light etc.....that's fine! However, if you take it to the extreme of making a Toxic Waste Dump look like some sort of Tropical Caribbean Paradise then it's gone too far! Because it's now turned into a Mawsley Special. As always, we'll do it democratically and the majority can decide! Poll runs for 24 hours so place your vote and give your thoughts on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I say yes. Tuning a picture is part of the picture taking thing now, annoys me I don’t know how to do it properly and the times I tried I ended up with something resembling a cartoon. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Plus, how would you know if it’s taken photoshop of any kind or not? You don’t know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred's backdrops in the Welsh Valleys don't look like anything I've ever seen in Wales. My view was it's OK to enhance a pic but those are Mawsley levels of enhancement. In his pics he made his POS Vespa on a back lane look like a fucking MV Agusta in Monte Carlo! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six30 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 i like @Tym photos , it looks like he throws his phone up in the air and when it hits the deck it clicks and takes a photo as its bouncing back up in the air and catches a bit of his bike .... quality 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think it's fine and not just for if the lights bad. Who cares if its enhanced, if it's a good photo it's a good photo regardless of whether someone technicolored it, used an expensive camera, has done a photography course or has some other advantage. This isn't a professional photography competition. Banning stuff and rules is all a bit serious for something thats supposed to be lightweight fun. It's not a sport, photoshopping aint doping. I'm wondering if Pete's lack of wins has him trying to eliminate the competition? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I agree with Pedro on this one, but also agree that there's a difference between " fine tuning " a picture ( cropping a bit, erasing the reg number, redimensioning etc ) and there's serious photoshop type manipulation like making the sky blue when it wasn't, adding or removing elements, which is a little bit cheating really. where to draw the line and how to decide is the real problem. I would be inclined to make no stipulations at all other than those already in place and people vote for which pic they like best according to their own criteria if it becomes silly people will either stop voting or stop participating. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep you can see when its been over done and if you don't like that sort of thing vote accordingly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you go bananas on the photo it starts to look more like art than a straight photo but I don't see that as a problem, a motorbike looking good is fine by me... and other's or they wouldn't vote it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I remember my Pops being affronted when "Old dears" started chatting him up. I'm sure in his head he thinks he's about 20 years younger than he is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
