To reinforce that it's about the photographers skill, not the equipment, there is a misconception that expensive gear makes great photos. Give the contestants entry level kit, this may inspire people and maybe some youngsters to give photography a go.
Website is still crap.The last series was an interesting program to see the process and thoughts behind the tasks set to the photographers. It certainly deserved to be on an arts programme. I hope this year they improve the website and put more of the final image submissions on it

Just watched episode 2 and i'm still not impressed with most of the efforts.
Same as last year, people ignoring the editing advice of the 'mentor' WTF?
Just watched episode 2.
Some are seriously pig headed in not following the brief.
I can't believe the sex shop image was complimented.
Under the same conditions, there might not be that many? It's like any 'talent' competition though; there are plenty of singers, cooks, dancers etc around the country that are better, but not seeking the glory.It's all pretentious b****x, there are many many members of this forum who would wipe the floor with the contestants in the show

That's not what I said The sex shop photo was completely out of place, but it's good to have a quirk or two in the showSo no one on here could do better than the sex shop photo which was supposed to portray the city's rush hour lol

I've only watched the first episode so far...
Glad the strange presenter isn't in it any more.
Can anybody tell me what the smallest Leica is that they use on the show ? It looks rather pretty.
I presume that's the Leica Q - the one with the fixed lens Fuji X100 style
I thought one of them did suggest it, but Clive wasn't having any of it. Seemed like a lovely bloke, but didn't want to do anything interesting.I thought at least one of them would have tried to talk him into getting his kit off
SPOILER ALERT!
Watched the 3rd one, didn't agree with lots of the judging, (especially the suggestion the young girl could have exposed differently to significantly alter the contrast between the lit and shadow areas of background) though we did agree the winner.
The winner looked like a classic Bailey - really cracking shot.
To be fair it was only Toscani that applauded the sex shop picture and I attribute his thinking to the seriously weird sh*t that's going on inside his head.
