Exactly. When you pick apart someones photos they get sad and unmotivated to take anymore.

Except for me. I'm stuck with only the pos camera on my phone so mine are crap no matter what I do.. :)

Was I talking to you? FUCK no so why the fuck are you getting onto me?

I take hundreds of photos and yes some dont come out on top due to many reason...Dirty lens

Having the car centered and being horizontal? how about a fucking ditch or a damn car. Seriously SHUT THE FUCK UP

Whats bad about telling someone not to use instagram?

If were gonna start picking photos out that arent even submitted...what happend here?

Nothing, I completely agree that instragram is not photography.

Not once in this thread have you mentioned anything about not using instagram, you've just made it sound like you're perfect and no ones photos can match up to yours.

Did you not hear me mention that I'm not perfect? Yet you waltzed in this thread sounding like you're Mr. Professional perfect photographer.

Hmm oh no I didnt center the car properly....guess what I even used autofocus for this...you mad?

^^lol.. relax a bit my man

I didnt say I was perfect either. I said and continue to say that majority of these people dont know shit and it would be nice to set a example of ways to make it look better. I didnt start off perfect, Guys at GMSC started teaching me things that I still use today. If I really thought everyone was horrible then why would I pick and choose to post the guys that actually take good pis and post them on CN?

no doubt

Actually that photo looks spot on. I'm not even mad bro.

^^^^^ That black car behind the bushes is playing hide and seek. duh.

Did you guys see the yellow 'balt in front of the trailer? Damn that's a NICE freaking trailer.

...and LSJs last pic is amazing. If you lived closer LSJ I'd pay you to take pics of my car....

Your taking photos that I dont even post and criticize them which is fine since all of those I came and asked help about anyway. Your the one being a dick about this. I didnt call anyone out, I said it multiple threads about Instagram submissions.

lol goddamn. All I really wanted to say was if people post and say "not the best but I'll post it anyway" then why post? It's not like the deadline is tomorrow. You have a whole damn month to take a single nice photo. Not trying to offend anyone here at all.

People dont take pride in what they do, Your not going to take a shotty pic of your kid so why do it to a car. I like yours and Micheal's photos on here, you guys actually go out and practice and work with the surround area.

I guess my wrecked hood and bumper from the deer a while back wont get me picked...

:(

Throw it up anyways man, worst that can happen is it won't make it in the calender.

got my vote :lol:

I really appreciate that. I try my best lol I don't even have a slr. Michaels pics are always super clean. Love them.

:lol::lol::lol: agreed:lol::lol::lol:
lets face it this calender thing isnt worth it...... and people wonder why i wont enter any pics

Thank you Mark! This is exactly what I'm trying to say, if you're going to pick apart peoples photos they're going to get mad/depressed about it and just stop posting them. I however encourage anyone to post their photos, I don't care if it's a friggen cell phone picture like the one below, if they're proud of it they deserve to be able to post it without feeling bad.

im scuurred to enter and get made fun of too :cool:

I dont have a good camera so I cant enter. and instagram is banned so...lol jk on instagram

i'm not taking sides or anything but if people are going to be getting all butt hurt just because someone criticizes a picture...then there's other issues and really, people should be learning from the negative rather then using it as a crutch.

i get told i take great pictures by alot of people. then i specifically go to other people and ask their opinions because they will tell me all sorts of stuff that i did wrong with the pictures...i learn from it and try and adjust for next time.

now granted not everyone has a DSLR but phones these days take suprisingly good pictures, same as point and shoots.

I agree but I think it all got twisted to believe nobody should post anything. Thats not what I was saying, Stuff like COTM,special events/contest there should be no horrible photos being submitted and allowed to vote. Thats why we have other threads for that, Look at the "cool pictures of your car" thread. Its now filled with random photos where you cant even see the damn car most of the time. That was all that I was trying to say lol

i find it funny coz even if i was to enter i have amazing shots of both cars, and of others too... i have a pic of sylvers car that is amazing.... i am really not sure which pic i would choose..... but whats the sense of entering my pathetic pics..... they are surely not professionally done....

Subd

All I have is a canon powershot so my pix won't be as badass as others

you guys do realize that the definition of a professional is someone who gets paid to perform a service....and i've seen alot of "professional" photographers who suck balls...then you got the kid with a point and shoot who take amazing pics...the imagination and creativity of the photographer makes up half the image

I dont think ill gget picked but its ok :D

True. I've taken some great pix but if I had a better camera and experience with it then I could do some work

agreed, I dont even call myself a photographer. All I did was pick it up as a hobby and I thought if I have to pay someone to take photos I might as well try it myself and have fun with it. Again not saying everyone shouldnt post pics but our community really sticks out on not having good quality pics of cars. There is only a good handful that can and do and that is why I personally like to post them on Cobalt Nation to let people see the possibilities.

anyone and everyone is a photographer...all you need to do is pick up the camera....

and boosted...i need to find a link of famous photographers making amazing images just by using a cellphone....

can someone cut out the black parts for me im not good with any kind of photo editing my friend took the pictures
http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/...5/Bythebay.jpg

I dont own a decent camera so I have to wait on my friend when she has free time to take soem pics..HOWEVER I am saving up for a decent one :D

Thanks for that link. I think my cell phone pix are decent but ppl always hate on cell pics

no worries boosted....btw i personally hate my cell phone camera lol.

and good crop there greg, definitely looks better without the huge black border.

thanks much:cssNET:
