Well, it’s way different than modded vs original..originals have similar E.T. for ex.

I am totally agree with raiderski, hihihans, mriley and others.

Dear plank, if you dont want modded driver pic then you should have mention it clearly at the start of the competition. Now after we reached in middle of the competition and you popup and say no modded driver. How fair it? Like tranced said, it would eliminate many entries- i would say, most entries. Like hihihans said, you would not find any K850i with original drive. I am also using modded drive. And my friend, if you check the winning entries of past months, most of them are using modded drive. So you cannot do this.

What is the problem you have with modded drive. It enhances the full potential of camera. And after all pic is taken with phone only.

anti post-processing & anti modded driver
photo competitions are never fair but who said that the amateur have no chane against professional? from when hardware is more important than idea, creativity, mood, emotions, good looking photo, elusive moment or something special in front of your eyes? aren't they most important values? if not then you must hate photography and love pressing the button, only

if your photo is too weak to enter into competition don't post it and do not force me to lower my abilities because you can't go higher with your quality/skills. you think that post-processing is bad, I think it's great. you think it can be used only to improve the photo quality, I think it can be used to create something which pure photo is not able to show. if our post-processing is bad thing how to call Karez portofilio? post-processing in purest evil form? we are living under the rock...

so far I haven't seen any good (!) reason why we should get rid of basic post-processing and modded driver from the competition. if you want me to say "it's not fair" then my question is: is it fair to force somebody with good skills to not use his skills because somebody have no skills and don't want to improve them?


Plank
my photo can stay or not? I used modded driver

Raiderski, pls calm down. And dont remove your entry in any case. If you do that, my entry which is ready to upload will also go to trash.

Let our loved mod tranced to think over this matter. Till then, i request you and others to pls get on with the competition.

I want to be fair and play on Plank's rules, I have to respect them
I don't want to be harsh. I thought we can have small discussion here and explain everything but ok, I will not continue it in this thread
