So many blatent cheaters - DPChallenge Forums

Quite obviously people are cheating with regard to the date of the image taken and the amount of accounts you have. How many people happen to be in the indy 500 padock at the same team? 6? Seems unlikely...

Its obvious to everyone that professional wedding and advert photographers are simply submitting any of there old crap. "no I really went out to take a picture of some firemen on a hill spraying people for the tools competition" No you didnt. You took the photo for something else and just thought, oh I'll submit it for that. Its all bullshit. Some indian banging a drum wins the tools challenge.. Its not a tool its a drum. Almost every challenge can be defined at "Anything" due to the lacklustre attempts at a brief, or rather a sentance. You can argue many things are a tool. You can argue many things are a "time era" to you personally.

Overall I feel this site is wrong to rely on the trust system of submitting and why are professional photographers submitting things they are doing to get paid for on a shoot? Its totally unfair and pointless for them too. They have reels of that crap to submit. Even if you ask for original its not exactly impossible to fake it.

I say whats the point in the system if its not fair? Let everyone submit anything from anytime. Otherwise the whole site is just filled with pro photographers advert shootings or some macro close up of an toothpick with a black background. That is the key to success here. Obvious photos. Macro with 100mp camera with black background = wow! thats a winner! Or better still some totally obvious uncreative shite.

You can look back on this when the current challenges finish to see I am right:

Illusions II = photos that will finish up top

A picture of a woman that looks like a curved rock or something - guarenteed. Its obvious and uncreative, so it will probably win.

A macro of anythin with a black background with some sparks or just whatever. black background a must x5 photos

Many many many photos not taken in the right time period!

TIME ERA - winners

An old mans face or some shitty black and white face will win.

A boring watch macro with black background

Many totally bullshit pictures that arent anything to do with time era since it can easily be defined as "anything". A cup of tea can be an era if I opinionate that it is. Era of drinking tea for the british.

A grandfather clock in sepia tone or some obvious shit even though its not an era

Some crappy baseball shit

A big fat juicy hairy turd dripping with horse sweat

------

That concludes your entertainment. Obvious replies are already thought of. Feel free to feel more intelligent and clever. Mr super man. Thanks for taking up your time. Perhaps you can take a picture or use an old one of your face as thats time right now. Fantast.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

How you ever get a picture of this sodding squirrel

Just happened to see him did you? No. you bought him and put him up that tree, he is stuffed.

Youre right it takes ages to become an expert on photographic challenges. Not that Ive looked at them all. Have you?

so whats your problem? go out and take an obvious photo with a black background, win a ribbon, and quit doing the 'drink and post.'

i just find it "ironic" that someone with so much insight would share it. Shouldn't you use it to your advantage? And if you don't, then why continue on? But I honestly find it amusing. Keep up the interesting threads, if not photography...

08/03/2005 10:38:43 PM · #10

Anyway Im off. Ill leave you wedding photographers to take some obvious shots of some turds or something. Im sure your billion pound cameras were worth it even though you never print bigger than a4. Congrats. Peace out.

By the way, for someone who quite obviously knows a lot, "blatent" is blatantly misspelled.

It is amazing then that 6 different people take photos during a race. (feel free tocheck the challenges) whilst in the pits themselves. Perhaps a group of "dpchallenge" people go together. Clearly that one is the same person.

Within the next few challenges I think ill jet off to the artic to take a shot. I mean thats what is submitted sometimes, artic underwater shots. Last week I saw one from the space station and he claims he took it today but I know he is lying.

The only thing Im drinking is your lack of creativity

Did your stuffed squirrel come with the corn or did you add that to make him seem more realistic?
