IMO, this contest should be for unedited/non-photoshopped photos, with the exception of lighting/contrast adjustments.

Try to cover the viewer, or keep your eye in it - if the sun can reflect inward in the finder it screws up the shot and causes halos on the shot.

Get a polarized filter too if you don't have one, it's a good investment.

This isn't a competition. Just post anything that you think is good. Everyone has their own opinions and the pic chosen as the "winner" is not by unanimous vote. If only the best pics were posted here, how boring would that be? What, maybe 5 pics per month? That would suck. I encourage everyone to post pics as I'd rather have too many as opposed to too few.

If anyone want's to send me a pic to have some PS work done on it, go ahead. Just tell me your idea and I'll see what I can do. My e-mail is in my user info.

BTW, Christian8A, how did you keep the car so clean while on a dirt road? Trailer it or maybe wiped and detailed it before hand?

See everyone, that's not an ultra expensive camera or a DSLR and I think his first pic could be the "pic of the month".

You got that right. $1K for a camera is nothing compared to what good lenses cost. Still, for the size of photo we are posting here on the web, I'd rather have a good smaller pixel camera than a bad higher pixel camera.

Even with a DSLR you still have to learn to take good pics. They are not a magic wand that makes everything look better.

So true, its just they have better features, and the lenses you can get, you can zoom really close (which is good for me, since I like going to races).

I have a 7.2 Megapixel Sony DSC-W7, and a 3.2 Megapixel Olympus D-535 Zoom. Both are point a shoots. The Sony gets grainy in darker situations, but it has manual settings which really helps for some things I use it for. I keep it on 1 Megapixel though to save disk space. I use the Olympus on 1600X1200 pixels, which is around 500-700K on disk space.

They do quite nicely though.

Heres a picture of my car from the Olympus, completely unedited or resized:



And pic from the Sony,(resized by photobucket though):
