I have altered my entry so that it now fits within the rules.

A shame you couldn't use that version in the contest. It looked incredible with the aging effects.

FINAL ENTRY

I hope this is OK, I only used the tools that are normally used in the 2.0 contest (Radial Blur and Brightness/Contrast), I was just creative with them :p

It's most certainly okay by me, for what that's worth. Nothing about the rules says you can't use those tools in conjunction with layer masks (or I'd never have a shot). That's beautifully done - looks like a real honest-to-God long exposure. 👍​

I didn't end up going as 'Abstract' as I planned... or even at all really. Didn't quite get the shot I planned but was really happy with this shot so went for this.

It has a slight blue tint (covering the whole [fully B&W] picture) is this ok? if not lemme know I'll post the B&W one with no tint.

As much as I love the use of duotones (I do them all the time IRL with my landscape photographs), I'm afraid we'll have to see it in a pure B/W. (Personally, I love it - but I want to make sure everyone's got the same palette from which to work.)
 
Maybe it is time, we put Moglet on something. :sly: Or remove half of his brain, and give it away for research.
 
FINAL ENTRY

.....is what I tried going for with this picture.

ALL: Wow! This thread continues to grow and I'm seeing some truly inspiring B/W images... gonna be a very difficult contest to judge come Sunday.

A quick rules clarification: yesterday, I had to ask sheferd to edit his stunning entry because it had a blue tint to it - i.e., it was a dutone image, not a pure B/W photo. I love dutones as much as the next guy, but - for the purposes of this contest, at least - I'm asking you to stick with pure black-and-white. That means no sepia-toned or otherwise tinted images. A quick run through the thread shows me that two of you need to edit your final entries accordingly. [Nor]MclarenF1 and BonkMeister: your images are tinted and, though they look cool as a result, they're not strictly black-and-white. I know the tinting is supposed to give an aged effect, but you'll have to rely on added noise/grain and vignetting to achieve that. Please edit your final entries - thanks! 👍

Also, if you've changed your entry, the rules are very clear: "edit out your previous entry". That means that two of you - Moras and arsenal1992, to be specific - must remove your original entries from the thread, if you want to be considered for the poll. Please take care of that ASAP - I've already got enough photos to sort through without having to keep track of that come poll time. Thanks! :)
 
My picture was black and white when I took it 50 years ago...j/k

Will do, thought it probably has to wait untill tomorrow or friday, since I want to restart from the original again and that takes some time, which I'm not sure if I will have that tonight. Thanks for noticing 👍

Heheh. :LOL: Sorry about that - I like the sepia/aged color look personally, but keeping everything strictly black-and-white is more in keeping with the spirit of the competition this time around. Looking forward to seeing the new version when you get around to it! :)
 
I'll get on it tomorrow. Don't want to miss out on the chance of making the poll because og a yellow tint. :)

Thanks, Moras - and no worries about the quoted image... I automatically ignore those! :)

Click full size, and you can see the style I was going for better. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9561/nrburgring24h0.jpg​
 
All fixed! As usual it can be found in the original post.
As in the words of the great Clarksonius: "How hard can it be?" :rolleyes:
 
55 (qualified) images, and counting... and I've only got 20 spaces to fill?!? :nervous:
 
Do I have to take a new pic or can I use one I already have?
Does it have to be taken in black and white or can I take a color pic and edit out the color?

It can be either new or old, and you can edit a colour pic or it can be taken in black and white, as long as it's a fully desaturated picture, and complies with the rules on the first page of the thread, it counts
