I don't know because as I said earlier, I don't have any control over the site's cafepress account. I've put in a request with the admins to see if we can get whoever submits the final photos to crop them down to size to fit correctly, but we'll see what happens.

This community is the worst with photos and knowledge on what actually looks good. I could take a pic of my dick and blur it and they would say it was a 10/10
Agreed Nate. I understand that everyone cant spend a lot on a camera but they could at least attempt a nice picture. Some of these pictures I'm just like wtf am I looking at.

Oh you mean like people that constantly use auto mode and autofocus? Or people that cut off vital body lines before they end or at the wrong spot?

I agree that some of these photos aren't spectacular but don't go running your mouth about photography. I'm not perfect either but you don't see me being a jack ass to people that are honestly trying their best.

Here's some notes.
In this photo, go to the edge of the doors, don't just cut it off before the door line ends, it looks horrible and incomplete.


If you're going to cut the car in half, at least make sure you're down the middle of the car, get the bowtie in there or at least half of the bowtie, it'll look more even.


What happened here? What's so spectacular behind the car that the car couldn't be centered horizontally?


and again..


Bad color balance.


Again, what's so important behind the car that this couldn't be centered?


Automatic Mode fail you??

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

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.

I didnt say I was perfect either. I said and continue to say that majority of these people dont know **** 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?
