Made me think too as the black border was too perfect but I'm not a judge so I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt...

There were quite a few folks carrying laptops yesterday, however, I even saw a couple of folks with loaded PhotoShop in the hall, but like that's their problem.

This one is really nice, we see tons of entries every year taken in front of the fake books but the timing and positioning of your subjects made it look so real. Great job and congrats for winning.

Nice to see at least one person liked my photo (thanks theveed and you have much better shots than me!) and NO alvinlyt, I did not use any photoshop (in fact I have never even used this software!)..I think the printout was a bit dark. If you look at the actual photo in softcopy, you can see the road tar quite clearly.

BTW, this shot was taken from the top of Benjamin Sheares Bridge onto the F1 track (that is why the road looked so black without any road markings)...and the lorry was moving right under it...and I think I was just a split second too fast to click my shuttle. I could have also waited for other opportunities on the bridge but the rain forced me back into reality.

So that was yours! Frankly, that was my favorite shot on the wall. I love that shot a lot and my wife did too. I liked it because I truly think that's doable even without post-processing, and to get it the way it printed out was just amazing. It's one thing seeing a photo on screen, it's another having one looking good on print. I think the gamut of the printer clipped some of your shadow details and that worked to your favor. Great job dude. I was curious as what the faint line was that ran across the frame, thanks for clarifying that it was a bridge.

:gbounce::gbounce::gbounce: woah! so it was by you
Big clap to you, that was a nice capture. ya maybe the printout was too dark. so it was tar on the ground no wonder the background is black. now the truth is out! hahaha

I compared my printed photo with the version in my 40D as well, and the printed version was darker. Camera view and computer view looked equally bright. Why is it so, bros?

any way to adjust so that printed version looks like what u see in camera?

will share my shots soon, not very brilliant though. haha =)

Short answer to print mismatching would be "color calibration"... CMYK colors are different from RGB values, hence we always soft-proof our images in PS before printing (assuming both the monitor and printer are calibrated).

ohh so it means u gotta use photoshop to convert the photo's colour into CMYK then it will look like how it would be printed?

 

[theveed]

Yes, in a nutshell, but you can also tweak your in-cam picture style to reflect closer to how things will appear when printed, takes quite a bit of effort to do though...

Yes, on a 2nd look, i start to like the shot too...elements (and postures) are placed nicely in a way, it's comical. Nice use of the background, this definitely a "street shot" style. keep it up!
