DP Now Salon Competition 96 - Straight from the Camera!

[wsearfoss]

Once again I am honored and many thanks to Mike Parr for the last salon for this one I think well go for Straight from the Camera – without post processing.

This salon will run for two weeks and close at midnight - Thursday 11th November

The rules are as follows:

1. All photographs are to be uploaded to the photo gallery at http://dpnow.com/galleries/
They can be put in members own gallery if they wish. The resulting link generated for the foto/photo will then be pasted into the next available space in the salon tread. Please keep photos to a maximum of 800 pixel wide so people can see the whole image without scrolling.

2. One entry per user ID only please, which must be the personal work of the entrant.

3. Entries should be "in line" within the thread (not as links to an image held somewhere else)

4. Comments only on entries are welcome within the salon thread itself.

5. After the close the curator will indicate a winner and a couple of runners up.

6. The curators decision is final.

7. Winners should be offered first refusal to choose the next theme and curate the next salon.

8. If the winner is unable to curate the next salon the current curator may offer that "honour" to any willing volunteer, possibly the entrant in second or third place.

9. These rules are to be copied and pasted with the new theme by the curator at the top of the new salon thread with a finish date and time.

10. As with all photos posted on DPNow, copyright remains with the photographer and DPNow will not use them without permission.

Yes this will be difficult to police, I hope that people will not compromise their integrity and remain true to the contest.

And thats what makes it interesting, may be difficult for those that swear that half of taking a picture is the pp

Hi there,

This is going to be hard to control in a fair way. In-camera processing will favour the more technical cameras and users eg - HDR bracketing, pano-stitching. Will this be allowed?
Will exif data be consulted for proof?
Just a thought.

Ok enough chatter. Here's my entry to get the Salon rolling.

My Possible New Car

Straight off the camera (my pocket compact - Leica C-Lux 2)

I sold my car earlier in the year and I'm still looking about for another one. How about this one - or would it need too much work doing on it?

Whad'ya reckon?

Definitely a shot "Straight out of the Camera" using the Olympus E-P1 Art filters

Maybe stretching the bounds of the Salon brief, but there has not been any post processing.

[Kurt]

Just reduced in size


Asturian Sunset.

I was going to enter one using PEN "Art Filters", but as this has already been submitted,
this one is entirely created in front of the lens (but VERY close to it)

[Horacio]

This picture was taken in an art exhibition center, in a multicolor smog illuminated room. Is is a unmanipulated raw image, downsized for the web. Regards, Horacio. (Oly e30+14-54mm).

COLORS

Woohoo ... not an easy one for me to keep my editing eye off but this was taken in RAW, converted to JPG and reduced in size by 40% - or is that classed as editing?

[rogleale]

My effort.

Straight from my shirt pocket camera.

What a beautiful baby Gina. The down on his/her forehead reminds me so much of our newborn babies. It's a fantastic image.

Not been around much later but here's one for this competition.
Taken last monday (25/10/10). Raw file opened in Lightroom and exported as a sRGb jpeg at 800 pixels wide. No adjustments or other editing.
