Just seen the Ad for it..:-)

TheQuietFella · 07-05-2017 7:18pm

I'll give it another go but I'm expecting the same rubbish as last year!

zeptar · 16-05-2017 11:56pm

Thanks. I'll watch it again. I enjoyed the last season. It's not amazing television and I didn't enjoy the xfactor format, but I'd still rather watch a photography TV show than anything else.

CabanSail · 18-05-2017 4:07am

I like cooking so I aviod all the cooking competition shows on TV.

Think I will do the same for this as it sounds much the same.

Ben D Bus · 24-05-2017 12:41pm

Starts tomorrow.

Leaving Cert student Molly Keane is among the finalists. Good luck to her!

Watched first episode.

Young girl from Donegal impressed. Talented and bold.

There seems to be more technical detail than I remember from last season, which is a good thing.

Saw some of it last night and enjoyed it. Ive the judged recorded for tonight.

georgefalls · 02-06-2017 10:35pm

Just as good as the first series, if not better.... Great program

homerun_homer · 06-06-2017 11:07am

The contestants appeared to be a better standard from first assignment (in comparison to same round last year) but on the second one many of them really were poor.

I would wonder can they delete pictures as they go. Some of the stuff being shown was ridiculous. I'd have snapped, looked at it and deleted right away. Enjoyng the series so far but the narrator is do badly suited.

homerun_homer · 17-07-2017 11:54am

This thread died a death. Did anyone stick with the show until the end?

The results of the final task were disappointing, especially given no one stood out or could make a good impression with the judges, though they are a tough bunch to please. I think I'm disappointed with the winner overall.

uck51js9zml2yt · 17-07-2017 12:17pm

I watched it....disappointed that we didn't get the conversations among the judges.

thought the level of phography was quiet low in the end though she was the best of the 3.
Probably wont bother watching if its on in 2018.

georgefalls · 17-07-2017 2:24pm

I saw it through to the bitter end. A worthy winner I thought. Considering she was nearly omitted more than once, she took the advice of the judges, and came through at the end.

I thought it was very good, and I'll be watching again.

Watched it every week,some strange projects.I liked the idea with the broken mirrors,must give it a go, and she ended up being the winner. Some of the lens seem to be high end budget,I also saw that they were using https://www.peakdesign.com/slide.I got one some months ago and its very handy.Looking foward to next year.

IrishHomer · 18-07-2017 1:09pm

If you have sky catch-up you can download the whole series and watch anytime.

I watched the whole series I took found last episode disappointing.

I was very surprised with the overall winner I expected one of the men to win.

Steve F · 26-07-2017 10:05am

The last couple of weeks it was obvious that Gillian would win.
She showed the most creativity she also seemed to be the most experienced of them all.
Didn't like her tho,she came across as being a bit full of herself. Even had a go at one of the other contestants for taking a similar angle as her.
Thought it was a free country? She came across as insecure in her talents
I will continue to watch it if it returns next year

I've just finished watching this series and agree with the above.

I enjoyed the series and I'd definitely watch a series 3 if they make one.

But I'd like to see some different judges. I really developed a strong dislike of the American judge. Most of her comments told me she was only interested in the tecnhical aspects of an image and not the artistic or the message.

All Leica's, by the look of it

homerun_homer · 31-07-2017 12:10pm

Souvid has been caught out. Not only did he fake a photo in the finale task, but he's been stealing pictures throughout his photography career and taking all the credit.

Link.

Were was the mention of taking the photo in the article?
Seemed to be all a out 1 photo of the child being raped.

Edit. Says it in paragraph 1 but doesn't mention the competition photo being faked

The bigger camera is a Leica SL more info about it here - https://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-SL/Details#Feature-EyeRes

Yours for only about 6000 euro! :eek:

Smaller ones were either a M or Q model.

georgefalls · 01-08-2017 8:26am

Leica do make very good cameras, no doubting it, but with any Leica around 40% of the cost has to be in the name badge..! Just saying."

I missed series one but caught this. Very mixed bag. On the one hand it was great to watch an x factor style show that I have some tiny bit of knowledge on. On the other some of the contestants were awful. That guy who was trying to make Clive Owen uncomfortable...lol I was cringing my way through that piece. I dunno, Im no great shakes but a lot of those photos I wouldn't even have bothered processing. Delete,delete,delete.
I thought Max was a shoe in to win, especially considering the final challenge was right up his alley. Gillian was a decent winner but I did not like her at all. Seemed very rude and arrogant. (I think I heard her giving out to some passersby to get out of shot).
Great to see the Irish girl in there, she should have gotten further. I think the American judge didnt like her though....

That 'passerby' was one of the other contestants... And she'd put the work in setting up the shot, and yer man wanders in and takes the pic.... LOL

I remember that one lol. Im thinking of a different incident though. I think it was on the beach.
