This idea grew from a question 'how do you become a master photographer?' in another forum. I was being sarcastic, but the more I think about it, the more fun this could be!

But, what an idea I've just had!

Imagine 30 photgraphers on a golf course on the same day.

They all have the same camera and the same gear.

They go out in fours, and each can only take one photo at a time.

Each shot is immediately judged and scored and the totals tallied.

At the end of the day, the "Master" photographer gets a green jacket!


Hey, this is not a bad idea...!

What do you think????

If you ask 4 photographers to take a picture of a scene you are not judging who is the best photographer you are just judging who took the best picture of that scene...

To Luigis comment, who would you select for judges? Let's pick three to five:

- photo editor of ___________ magazine?
- AP/UPI/Reuters photographer?
- nature photographer?

Any names to add?
