When I saw the movie E.T. The Extraterrestial, I felt it was just wrong to dress E.T. in doll clothes and goofy wigs. It made me sad.
I have some similar feelings seeing some of the photos in this challenge where wise, capable, and otherwise self-respecting cameras were dressed up.
I pulled my entry at the last minute (Thankfully. There are quite a number of photos that I found extraordinally good in this challenge.) so I have no axe to grind. Just a point of view. |

Acceptable calibration requires a piece of hardware. You can download the Adobe calirbation tool, but you're back to judging color by eyeballing it.
The hardware tends to run $99-$250. |
okay thanks :] |

Pantone makes in inexpensive monitoring device called Huey, which comes with software. It calibrates your monitor and then adjusts the monitor as ambient light changes. About USD90.
It's not the best device available, but it does a reasonable job and is brain-dead-simple to use. It's less expensive than the top of the line gear. Good enough for web targeted photos, probably not good enough for professional print targeted photos. |
hey thanks for that too, sorry didn't see it until after the other one :] |

Correct me if I am wrong but if you do a self portrait of your camera , the brand name (and all the writing) of it should be reversed (ex: Canon should be nonaC on the picture). In this challenge. lots of picture are not reversed, so, I assume its not a "self-portrait", the picture was taken with another camera. Am I right? |
Your wrong, well not right, sound better, you can reverse the picture during processing. |
I did not enter this challenge, but during voting I gave far higher score for the shots that had NOT been reversed in post processing. There were some shots that although not as photographically good as others, they had used more imagination by using two mirrors and taken a shot of the reflection of a reflection for example. |
