im sure this will get moved but i wanted to give it a chance in here.
anyone else watch part one last night? 150,000 Euro prize money and some very high production values.
looks like an interesting concept and it was nice to see that 3 of the 12 finalists are from the UK (well, 2 now)
hoping that next weeks show gets a bit more technical.

episode 2 - why id that guy think it was ok to use his mates to stage all his shots? then conveniently mix up memory cards.
they judges dont hold back which is usually a good thing but surely, the images are not going to be to everyone's taste - they want the photographers to become clones of whoever is judging that particular episode.
still fascinating from a keen amateurs point of view but i think its getting a bit pretentious.

Honestly?
I'm struggling with it. I really wanted to see something that showed outstanding photographers doing what they do best, plenty of info on the tech side of things and a bit of a walk through of their workflow.
What we've got is a big budget competition where the egos are huge (particularly from the judges) and very little technical info at all. The occasional flashes of settings used to gain a final image bear no resemblance to how I would expect the settings to be so I'm not sure if they are made up with a bit of artistic license.
The guy who won last week with the mirror shot and did well again this week with Michael madsen is my favourite - he isn't as OTT as the likes of the short haired German girl who tries to get in every shot she takes.
The guest judge this week was at least helpful and didn't just tell everyone their work was s
t.
I can't imagin Michael madsen being easy to work with either - especially as the day wore on.

to echo the comments above - im very glad that the German girl got called out for what she was - a narcissist. i really hope that Rupert comes through, his work this week was weak and i too was worried that he might get binned.
ive stuck with it and will see it through to the end but i dont think it will get a second run.
