1st blood!
Double kill
This is still tiresome…
I think I’ve seen this picture before, and it’s considered as a stagged one.
It is most likely staged, but it is very cool, and as long as staged images aren’t against the competition rules that isn’t a problem. The image in fourth place is staged as well and number two might be. Anyway, all the five images are good!
No, not cool at all. Staging is arguably alright, faking isn’t.
What is the meaning of taking these fake wildlife pictures? Not against rules doesn’t mean it is acceptable. Just like it’s not illegal to swear on people, but it’s not okay at all.
how about stage and harm the animal? Indonesian again?

All of those photos look amazing!

Fxxx this xxxx
How come this manipulated animal photo still virals on the net and get praise, please help stopping it

He has by definition committed fraudulent
I was wondering how is was possible to achieve the streaking effect given this was a fast shutter speed competition. However, I see they define fast starting at 1/60th, which is not quite what I think of as “fast”.
I agree. The second photo with the running rabbit should be the winner since for that you need a real high shutter speed.
In addition, the winning image won already a National Geographic contest in 2011, is that fair?
I/d say fast starts at 1/500 or 1/1000. This is an image were a fairly slow shutter speed has been used to create the effect. But if the competition rules define 1/60 as fast then I’d guess the image is qualified.
I’d agree. Of course, it’s a macro image and those streaks are therefore quite short so the shutter speed must have been considerably less than 1/60th. However, the essence of fast shutter speeds is to “freeze” action, so the streaks just feel wrong.
If the animals and stage are being manipulated to do something unnatural then some of these are not nature photos at all. They look good but they are fake nature photos plus the animals are being hurt.
I agree. This sucks
Canon Patent For 5 Layer Foveon-Like Sensor
http://www.canonwatch.com/canon-patent-5-layer-foveon-like-sensor/
will you buy this if canon release at this year at photokina if versus A7S, A7R?
I have said this before- a sensor alone does not make a camera. Old DSLRs are summarily dismissed because they are DSLRs. A7, etc need to improve. Will wait another 2-3 years before buying another of these. Hopefully, by that time Sony would have refined a camera (as they did with the NEX with the new A6000) and bring out an useful model.
I would definitely buy a high res stacked sensor over an obsolete low res bayer sensor and will wait for one before purchasing another camera.
Now we need to compare what will be available.
Sony will probably introduce a ff 54mp stacked Barry Sensor with 18mp x 3 layers…native res 18mp and scalable to 72 or162mp with unsharp masking.
Canon has previosly released a 120mp H size sensor..thats smaller than ff and bigger than c.
I have no idea what this will be but at 120mp this will be 20mp x 5 layers and if it is H size it would have a slightly higher pixel density an barely higher mp than the Sony.
If the quality is equal and these are the specs I would probably lean towards the Cannon.
If Cannon comes out with a sensor like this and makes it mirrorless and Sony does not have something ready..I will deffinitely jump ship.
Note…this is speculation only based on a random guess at the specifications.
I am not predicting that thes will be the actual specs..nor am I commited to jumping ship…the odds that the exact example I have given will be accurate are slim.
You will definitely jump ship?
Oh, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz…
Well, I find the wave shot to be most appealing.
wow …It’s not against the competition rules but shame on you SAR and the jury! like Fenx says : “How come this manipulated animal photo still virals on the net and get praise, please help stopping it”
I’ve always liked chunky hand grips, and a “fats shutter” sounds intriguing – where can I get one?
10,000+. Admin let me know where to get the “fats shutter”. Me want one for myself.
Isn’t this the one where he manipulated the animal by sticking it’s “legs” to the branches? There was a whole article dedicated to finding and snuffing out these people…
