The top 100 images in the Gurushots "Beach Time" contest.
Is this 'Gurushots' worth being a participant in or not? the concept seems ok but can it be trusted?
Nah, it's a rip off. You pay to get success, and it's the paradise of HDR. Don't bother.
Fair enough, I’ll stick to my 175 Flickr followers then:) cheers.
Same here, I'm on Flickr and 500px, with not that many followers ;-) I feel more comfortable on my french Nikon Forum !
It's really just a game. I've literally never spent a dime on it and have done pretty well. It's just something that's fun to past the time with. Believe it or not there are actually strategies to doing better. You can also join a team which makes it easier to get the things you'd have to spend money on for free. I would suggest trying it out if you're interested.
