Further explanation of the theme, provided by winner CCShaft7:

"As GT5 winds down and there's not long left till the release of GT6 I thought this may be a fitting theme to celebrate nearly 3 years of the GT5 era Photomode competition. As the sun begins to set on GT5 take your favourite car to any track/location that has a day/night change and take the shot you want to mark as a kind of "Parting Shot" before we say goodbye and move on to pastures new. ideally a shot from behind with you driving away like that old cliche of the hero from those old westerns riding his horse off into the sunset, but even static/parked shots with a similar feeling would suit as well."


CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any day/night track that can give you that parting shot.
PHOTOTRAVEL: For sure...Red Bull Hangar probably suits best.
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Just the one car in shot. Sunset a requirement.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack,
    Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image?
    Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed.
    [*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
    [*]Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
    [*]Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
    [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
    [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
    [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
    [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
    [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
    [*]Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
    [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 25. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 12-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
    [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
    [*]The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

Competition News: I had some connection issues last night, but here we are! Both themes are similar, but blame me for lightly pushing CC and Nato towards it; Week 150 will be the last big milestone number before we get our paws on GT6, so I was hoping we could have something with wide appeal, to net those entries 👍

Great with two similar themes at a time like this :)

However...in my calendar there is a big fat mark with "GT6" on 6th of december...who will get their paws on the game before that?

(Excuse me for being a little ignorant...maybe)

EDIT: Sorry....I somehow missed the phrase milestone number :ouch:

Final Entry


Click for 3840x2160 image

A VERY long time since I entered these competitions. I took this photo last week and read the brief, figured it would suit quite nicely.
 
I seriously want to say goodbye with the machine that has remained the most attached to me. Can't get the perfect shot though :(
 
I hope this stays open long enough for me to get an entry in, I won't be able to submit anything for another 9 hours or so.
 
Keeping this open for a few more hrs (2-3hrs) as I'm out of the house for the evening so still time to post :sly:
