Jeez, the model competition has more entries than this does. I'll get one in tommorrow hopefully. 👍

Hmmm I dont have too many shots of light from cars. And I can't remember for the life of me if I entered any of them already...

I don't have anything specific for this theme, but I'll post something tonight. A tight crop on certain shots will detract from the overall image, but will make it more suitable for the theme. 👍

Meh? Is this what the theme is, or does lighting mean like an auto show?

The way I read the theme was a photograph mainly focused on the lights (or a lit up element of a car) these lights can be either turned on or turned off. Atleast that's what I thought.

Photo subjects can be interpreted by the user. When I read "light em up", I though of someone spinning up the tyres for a burnout...

Huh, I'll keep my current entry, but I'll see how it goes after some more people enter. I just figured it was lights, either headlights or fixed lights.

Well, while the first line is ambiguous: I think it's pretty obvious by the description underneath that Roo probably intended it to be of light sources on or off.

Apologies, i'd missed that somehow!

Haven't been able to go out and get the shot I want, so I'll enter a reserve.

Yep. Lights of any sort - head/tail lights, warning lights, street lights, traffic lights, the glow that illuminates the dashboard when you turn the headlights on - either turned on, so you can be adventurous with light trails or anything else you can do with light, or off.

That was intentional, as that's what I think when I hear the phrase; applying that to another part of a car is me trying to be clever.

^^ THAT...is a lovely shot. 👍

awww when I read the first line of the theme I went and resized this one:



But I'll have to find me another. Ergh.

EDIT: Already have something I could use. Altough with those rally cars at Brands Hatch it's pretty much useless.
