Trick photography: Post photos that appear to be ‘shopped, but aren’t.

Theme suggestion courtesy of nutkick 42–thanks!

I am going to assume Shopped here refers to more than just crop and level adjustments etc… A picture that looks unreal as opposed to careful adjustments to bring out the best

That’s my presumption as well.

Yup. Looking for things that will make people think “did I click the PS contest thread by mistake?”

The standard rules apply as far as “shopping” goes.

Hey, if I took a photo for this contest with a 10 mm lens, can I use the Filter -> Distort -> Lens correction tool?

If not, that’s OK. It is just a snooch nicer after using it.

I personally don’t see the sin in that, but hopefully you’ll get an answer soon from The Powers That Be [TM]

While there’s nothing specifically about the lens correction tool, under “acceptable modifications”, the rules do say

Correction for pincushion or barrel distortion (within reason, you’re on your honour here)

So I would think that would be close enough for lens correction. It’s applied evenly to the entire image, so I don’t think it’s a problem. I think it came up a long time ago and was deemed acceptable. Anyone else have an opinion on that?

Actually, my question pertains to this particular theme. I hope I’m not busted or anything, but I used that correction on my vine covered silo already. ( http://photos.imageevent.com/ulle17/fark/Silo_8925.jpg )

For this theme, the pic should look ‘shopped but not be ‘shopped. I just don’t want to cause a snafu.

/again. 🙂

As long as it’s an effect that is allowed for any normal contest, it’s allowed here. However, it should not be what causes the image to look shopped.

Hmm, I might just have to use my new Lensbabies with the star aperture for this contest.

Then I am going to abuse some lighters, of course. Maybe burn some stuff…
