rramesh Posted May 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Understand that Dr Andreas Kaufman has purchased 'I Shot It', an Internet photo platform. Leica majority shareholder buys into internet photo platform i-shot-it.com | Leica News & Rumors Interesting site. Wonder how it will compare with others like 500px? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Hi rramesh, Take a look here I Shot It. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted May 18, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Interesting site. Wonder how it will compare with others like 500px? Perhaps they'll ban HDR? At first glance it doesn't seem to have any similarity to 500px. Can't say I'm keen on 'pay to play' photo competitions.

iedei Posted May 18, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 18, 2013 ishotit is nothing like 500px. it is website devoted to paid monthly photo competitions. i entered a couple of photos in the last B&W competition because they were giving away a Monochrom...but i didn't win. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted May 18, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 18, 2013 The judges seem to consist entirely of photographers (including one or two faces that have popped up here) rather than publishing professionals, art editors and curators. My advice would be to steer well clear but I dare say it is the kind of website that appeals to the social networking generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted May 19, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 19, 2013 Tis true, photographers shouldn't be trusted as judges. There may be a few who can put prejudice aside, but I would guess if you want to seriously have a go at winning any of these competitions you'd be better off learning the styles, techniques and preferences of the judges before pressing the shutter. As it stands it looks like an expensive to enter lottery. I'm sure it will work as a concept, the greed for a cash prize and a camera is always going to draw a good number of entrants, but I think this game show type of 'competition' is more about exploiting a photographers ego than discovering something worthwhile about photography.

Ecaton Posted May 21, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 21, 2013 Winners receive cash and a Leica camera. Guess who sells Leica cameras to the company running the I Shot It platform;) Smart business ideas, both, the platform itself and Leica`s main shareholders decision to take an equity stake in I shot it.
