Any particular theme?

Pebb · Aug 31, 2008

There will never be any themes.

DreamersParady · Aug 31, 2008

One of the photos I took while covering the London Gumball 3000 Start in 2006. Taken using a Fuji Fine Pix A330. Original picture bar cropping to center the car.
I like it because it shows people all gathered together to admire beautiful cars!

Alex. · Aug 31, 2008

I took this today, but I think if we dont have themes the uber photgraphers like Exige will just delve into their stores from past months of pure ownage photography.
I also believe all shots should be stock as not everyone has access and skills to make their shots look unfairly better.

Other than that, Nice lets keep it going.

Moglet · Aug 31, 2008

Time to clean the bugs off the front of the 500 methinks...

Damnit, F1GTR has basically done what I was going to do with my 500 :lol:

cropping and resizing does it no favours, but there ya go.

TVR&Ferrari_Fan by HDR do you mean high definition resolution photos are not allowed? I'm not sure what HDR means. Do you mind if we add a link to the original sized photo?

I took this photo while walking through the paddock area at Lime Rock Park during an ALMS weekend. The track was just resurfaced and it was a truly great experience for spectators, at least this one.
This photo is untouched. The other info is below the photo.

ripping_silk that is a sick picture, I love it.

EDIT: rearranged the info format

I've edited the rules. Also, Alex brings up an interesting point. Given that people like exigeracerare shooting cars all the time, and the OP TVR&FF shoots eleventy-billion images every time he switches his camera on, themes may help.

Or other members could start running other competitions/multi-contributor themed galleries.

Moglet · Sep 1, 2008

OK, the theme for this week is; Small, white, Italian hatchbacks

Omnis · Sep 1, 2008

I still rather not do any themes.

I made a mistake about the HDR bit. However I was meant to say HDRI:

They look crap anyway. The only time they look good is when they're done in moderation, but most people go completely OTT and make them look like a scratchy drawing or something. :crazy:

Cano · Sep 2, 2008

So no theme, we just submit a cool Picture and that’s it? Nice, free stuff. great job so far on the blown F1 and the red BMW, people. I’ll see what I can whip out in the next couple of days, given I finish work in time for the deadline.

Cano · Sep 6, 2008

bleh, no time at all to dip out something new, so this will have to do; granted, I didn't shoot this picture, it was my wife, but bear with that and think the nickname Cano represents the Cano family, hahaha.

I promisse for the next one i'll dish out something decent that has not been seen.

exigeracer · Sep 6, 2008

I'm gonna have to miss this one, sorry guys.

Pebb · Sep 6, 2008

The poll is up now in post 1.

exigeracer · Sep 6, 2008

TVR, I've always liked your Maserati shot, but F1GTR steals my vote. Great car, backdrop is outstanding, but the colours totally make that shot. Brilliant!

Only old people don't like blue w/ pink!

ripping_silk · Sep 6, 2008

for me was a toss up between F1GTR and TVR&Ferrari_Fan, both lovely shots. I picked TVR.. for no other reason than its a little more GT5-esque. Shame there were no more entrants, but some nice work by all contenders.

Omnis · Sep 6, 2008

Was a toss-up between F1GTR's scene and the great capture of Jenson's blowup. Went with F1 because of all the neat colors and stuff.

I'll claim victory if I get a vote, however.

Cano · Sep 7, 2008

F1 on fire for me, altough I really liked Santi's BMW detail.

Nicknamealguem · Sep 7, 2008

Can I just add a little suggestion? Putting the images on the poll, instead of names would be much easier and less disturbing. I am voting for the image, not the name, like the poll makes me think.
