Failed in a photography competition. Prize was big. And i failed.

>>2959289
Their opinions were probably shit, bet it was like the Oscars where it's just normies that like HDR church photos on Facebook.

>>2959298

Not really. It was a mix of 2deep4u, documentary, photojournalism and Alec Soth type portraits. Im pretty sure the winner is some guy documenting the immigrant issue.

>>2959289
Happened to me, the place that processes my photos liked my photo and asked to enter it into a competition, I ended up losing but I really didn't give a shit because i was 15 at the time and I didn't even like the photo

>>2959298
Meh, normies mostly like those marvel superhero movies that gross 500 million even if they're shit, oscars is more like people who can appreciate a good movie but not really into the really good shit

>>2959289
show competition page or at least what you posted

>>2959289
Happened to me too :(
Got published in a magazine and everything. I was one of like 5 finalists, and the prize was a RED Dragon camera, with a complete studio kit and lenses. Felt bad.

But don't give up, just keep at the competitions, it'll happen eventually

Not today, folks. Today is for feels and mourning only.

>>2959393
No, show us your fucking photo or I refuse to believe you made it far in the competition, let alone actually entered

>>2959414

Do you feel in charge?

FUCK RIGHT OFF
/p/ is so fucking dead

>>2959303
So the selection was politically motivated. Tell me something new.

>>2959303
Documentary/Photo-journalism >>>>>>>>> snapshits and generic landscapes

>>2959440
Yes I do. Now get the fuck off my board you little cunt

>>2959463

>>2959485

>>2959315
Oscars are just people who are "bribed" more, it's true.

Okay, here it is. It's meant to represent the struggle for individuality in the decay of rural pre post modern agriculture.

The winner was some fucker walking their dog.

10/10

Pretty much summed up half this board

yeeaaah.

>>2959515
I can unironically relate to this and I think that the apparent artistic quality actually adds to the message you intended. It's meta in a deeply profound way.

>>2959572
The switch from white borders to black when displaying your alleged artistic nemesis is a nice touch, especially considering the poster and the poster's own nemesis. This set of two photos, no matter your intent, is probably the best work you've done in a long time.

>>2959595
I was only trying to win ₹10,000. The dog in the winners photo does look familiar though.

This just in:

It wasnt the immigrant issue guy (the one i guesed would win), it was a 3deep5u guy. His shit was tight. Hes pretty fucking good in fact, i have nothing else to say. I guess i have 2 git gud.

>>2959916
what are you even talking about?
Are you OP?

Just post your fucking photo OP

>>2959917

I'm not posting SHIT m8. Don't like it, hide this thread.

Know what's worse? Our work is similar: similar eye, similar narrative building. But his is way more trimmed, every photo is different and special on its own, no weak links, solid stuff. Pretty sure I was in the top 3 or top 5. Brb need booze.

>>2959925
You wouldn't be acting like such a fucking faggot if anything you said was actually true. Kill yourself, you attention hungry cunt.

>>2959929

Why would I lie about something like this? Of course it would all be better if i showed my work, but in this doxxing friendly board you just can't do that. Not my fault that this board is in a state that makes it almost unusable.

>>2959515
>pre post modern agriculture

this is bait

Photo contest judges are capricious and self-important.

Winning feels good - but rarely has much to do with quality of work.

>>2959925
>>2959935
If you had just posted the photo to begin with, it wouldn't have been an issue.

However, I know your pain. I showed my photos on here once, and it was reverse image searched and found out who I was. Then they shitted up my instagram account.

ANYWAYS. how about you post some images that look like your photos, or have the same feeling? I just cant even decide what kind of contest this was.

Was it a magazine? a website? How major was the prize?

>>2959515
i woulkd have given you first place just because this made me die of laughter, but also i'm drunk so

Grand Prix?

No one is going to go out of their way to do that shit unless you provoked it by being a faggot, I'm positive you deserved it.

>>2959962
And another reason to not post anything linked to your identity.

/p/ does nothing wrong, ever, and bad things happen to people for a reason.

>>2959953
>Fuji
it was nikon kek

>>2959946
>>2959962
I post my photos here all the time, the same photos posted on Flickr/500px that are easily reverse searched. I post them with EXIF intact and even shitpost frequently with them, yet this has never happened to me.
I'm willing to bet you were the faggot shitting up the gear thread with his dual body shit a while back, or the other shitter with the 35/1.4 ART who had his name in the EXIF and shitposted.

If you're actually posting content and not gearfagging then this won't be an issue ever. You have to be a bigger faggot than me to get hate from /p/
>>2959515
>all these people who can't tell a baited isi post
kinda sad d e s u

>>2959996
no, all I did was tell someone that their photos were shit, and my panorama was better. Made that mistake only one time
