why is everyone so negative? hmmm id say we give it a shot.... i know i am
agree with Sabee on this ...This is one of the few times you get to shoot in a shopping centre in Singapore what Just have fun shooting, don't even have to submit to the competition hahaha
What is so interesting to shoot in a shopping center? Sg really so small until nothing to shoot already have to resort to going shopping center to shoot :think:
not negative, just alerting you to the fact that:
a) you might not win
b) despite a, your photographs can still be used by the magazine for any purpose they deem
c) without you being compensated
this is so that no one is unhappy in future, since they will at least be aware of the facts a,b,c above.
Notwithstanding the above, as mattlock pointed out, exposure doesn't just mean that everyone in the world will run up to you and say, "hey, your photo in harper's was great!". It does mean you have a legitimate right to put it in your portfolio for your clients, talk about it in your cv, advertise that you were featured in harper's, etc.
Budding young pros might find the above worth it.
i have the best answer to this one.
"just a supposition on your part" :bsmilie::bsmilie::thumbsup:
btw, b is NOT a supposition. a supposition is when i say that the magazine WILL use the photos even if they do not win. when i say CAN, i am referring to the ABILITY TO DO SO, and the magazine has the ability to do so, that is a FACT. time to brush up on your english.....
don't even get me started on what "you might not win" means....... it is distinctively different from "you will not win"...!
obviously, you don't get any flow of the logic here - if you win, you are being compensated for the image in some sense. if you DO NOT win, and your works are featured, based on the rights line in the competition ad, harper's bazaar does not need to compensate you, they have the rights. obviously you know what i mean, but you have a bone to pick somehow. better not take previous arguments elsewhere too personally...... people who do that tend to end up the same way in the end..
if you didn't get the gist of the other posts i have made here, i'm not discouraging people to participate. what i am trying to do is MAKE SURE that people are CLEAR on what entry into the competition represents. as jungsangchoe pointed out, not everyone knows, and i thought there was absolutely nothing wrong in just stating some truths that may happen that people might not be able to stomach.
Haha, time to let everyone see whose logic is correct then.
If "might" can be used as a fact, then you could say "it might rain today" and call it a fact, even if there's no rain at all.
I don't deny that there is a possibility of rain, but possibility <> fact. Obviously you'll never accept this, so let see whose understanding of "fact" is accepted by the majority here.
it's not a war or a popularity contest. i urge you from refraining from becoming too bitter, fact is fact, that was not a supposition. or do you view this as a supposition as well?
Facts are facts. Assertions are assertions. Hypotheses are hypothese. And suppositions are suppositions.
Don't twist one into another, or mix them up and call them facts.
Dudes... stop arguing and focus on the topic.
let me present you with the definition of a "fact":
a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred; "first you must collect all the facts of the case"
good day, enough said.
kthxbai!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You might be gay." How's that for a fact?
"You might be an alien from mars". How's that for another fact?
Who accepts the above as facts?
Not many, I hope.
So how is the above different from, "you might not win the contest"? What makes your statement a fact? What circumstances exist in this statement to make it a fact? How different is your statement from the above two?
