Vote for stu, 5th one down. I don't want money for being a fake.

besides, I don't fake - its my team of polish hard working immigrants that do all the photo work for me for 1/4 the price of doing it myself!

Don't waste you time registering on their stupid 'I love trucks' forum just to vote peeps as you can only vote if you were a member before the poll started.

But if you would care to leave a comment like I did, register away!

lol, the owner of the site is cool so I don't want anyone saying anything controversial on there- but this isn't the first time a couple of nobs have ganged up on me. I already had to re-submit my photo after a couple of them claimed it was photoshop enhanced.

bit of natural specular bloom and lens flare and they all go crying to their mummys.


OH WELL


Get your entrys in! oOple photo competition to win a super exclusive and awesome oOple tshirt in (almost) any size you want if I have it, I think I have from M to XXL - but if you need a different size we talk about it if you win.




I will create a thread in a minute with the details! - this will be judged by me and vicky, so as to not allow daft people to call anything into question.

Possiby best photo that was entered didn't even make the final cut. It was a shot of some truggys (I think that is the right term) over a big dirt jump. There is loads of dust & smoke left behind and you can see spectators watching though the 'haze'.
It's not a particularly good photo technically (looks like it was maybe taken with a basic compact), it just has a really nice feel to it.

Default You didn't win?!!

Having looked through the photos that were in the competition, I can honestly say that the only one that truly deserved to win was Jimmys'. I wouldn't be surprised if Losi were to use that image for promotional use (might be worth looking into?). I think I know of what I speak aswell, having studied Photojournalism and Photography and shot freelance sports stuff for a few years before working in and ended up managing the Liverpool Jessops store!! The quality of the images on this site are fantastic and the comments posted by the 'critics' on the other forum merely illustrate their ignorance of what makes a good shot. JMO of course.

Dont worry about the yanks Jimmy...we love your photos!! They look great as a background on a 19" monitor!!!!

Any plans to do some Touring Car photos???

Cheers guys. The thing that cheezed me off was the fact it was guys who were entering their own photos that were trying first to get my photo banned, then saying it was faked so people wouldnt vote for it!
All a bit silly really!
