Popular Post Fiddlesticks Posted April 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2015 If this is what is accepted as a worldwide first place photo then I feel I am wasting my time pursuing photography! ! ! Beyond this, I am simply speechless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goshawk Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 imo, that winning shot is so worthy! Because it brilliantly invites further inquiry & delving into their own predicament . . it's full of cliche . . it's gritty (no pun intended) . . it's rough 'n ready & as cheap as a bag of greasy back street Scarborough chips . . but it still makes me want to know so much more . . about them? art? the price of fish? photography? beached cetaceans? . . i could go on & on, but i might begin to start sounding weird if i do . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goompa Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If I could sum it up in one word it would be " Disturbing " but that is not to say I don't like it , I have been contemplating ... A little too long actually , so I kind of figure it hits something , a nerve ,well maybe , but I figure this is up to the experts ... In the meantime my beer is going warm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanBBK Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Cliché, artsy, interesting. Motive prevails over photographic technique. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) I like that StephanBKK...Motive. Lets round up the usual suspects! As GH says...in shorter form tho...it makes me think. Just like HCB's photos do. Edited April 11, 2015 by sunshine51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyonthemove Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I guess photo competitions are very subjective as that winning photo is not as good as many of the others in my view. But I'm a fan of the Sony Z series of mobile phones - and I think the better mobile phones have closed the gap on compact cameras to the point where I never use a compact camera and use my Z as my carry-around camera. These are some recent shots from my Sony mobile - and only a couple of years ago we were carrying a mobile and a compact to take general daily photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 ^^^ FOTM...my missus has Sony's Z1 with their 20Mp sensor in it & the camera does a great job. My SG4 has a 13Mp sensor in it and is also good...if I ever use it to take pictures that is. Just think....what did we have as far as cameras in cell phones 10 years ago & the IQ produced back then. It's only gonna get better n better IMO. I still carry a compact (Can G16) with me almost daily though...old habits die hard! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piersbeckett Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Regarding the winning entry; I'm no expert but as a former professional and published photographer, I find little of artistic merit in this apparent study of misdirected frugality.
