Theme Competition / Discuss

----- Competition 11 -----

Competition 11 will be CINEMA (Also known as "Crop'em Long"). For this competition we want to see those extra wide shots that look like they could be part of a major motion picture. (Techies, the aspect ratio for modern day widescreen is 1.85:1, so aim for that. Everyone else just "go long".)

For those who are about to ask “How do I take an extra wide shot”;
You don’t take it, you make it.
1. Take you’re favorite shot of the mountains, sunset or whatever.
2. Open a copy of it in PhotoShop or your preferred photo editing software.
3. Look in help for “Crop” (the methods will differ slightly in different software)
4. Using the above crop procedure, Crop a section of the picture that is a good bit longer than it is tall.
5. Save your cropped picture under a new name, you did it.
6. Post it so we can all have a look.

We'll post an example of before and after to give you the idea.

Note:
This theme was shamelessly borrowed from one of the competitions in our “Make Me a Pro” Competition group. If you don’t already have a pro account, folks are giving them away like crazy over there. Get in there and win one. Also if you have a pro account to give away, that is a fine place to do it (hold you own competition and see how easy Kaddy’s life as an admin really is).
