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!

  • 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.
  • 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 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-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!

What you may not do to a photo:
  • Alter the geometry of the car. No stickers, or body modifications not available in game.
  • Add shapes or objects from outside of GT5, signatures excepted.
  • Add lens flares or "artistic" filters to image.
  • Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).
  • Use more than 1 image (HDR, photo-stitching, multi-exposure).
  • "Creative cropping". The main "image" must be four-sided, with 90-degree, upright corners.
  • Selective car colour changing: masking different parts to create racing stripes or similar.

What you may do to a photo:
  • Crop and/or resize an image.
  • Adjust the level or curve values.
  • Alter the colour tone of the image (gradient maps, photo filters, colour balance, etc).
  • Car body colour change (all stickers/design features must remain, see "Remove Items" rule).
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.
  • Enhance shadows or highlights (dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, for example).
  • Add noise and/or diffuse glow.
  • Add a post-game tilt-shift blur, or apply a motion blur to a stationary Photomode shot.
  • Make use of Layer Blend Modes.
  • Use a Sharpening filter and/or tool.

Competition News:

Keep in mind this pertains to the driven wheels themselves, not the in-game categories, though describing it using those, this is FR/MR/RR vs FF/4WD 👍
 
What about those that do not specify drivetrain layout? I know of several like that, mostly concepts.
 
Hmm, well if you're unsure of what it is, I'd suggest avoiding it.

There's a sortable list of every car in the game HERE which should let you filter and sort cars by drivetrain, to help you decide what to drive!


@Purelogic - I'm not looking for photos of the driven wheels, although if you want to enter that then you're more than welcome! Also feel free to showcase the abilities of RWD/4WD/FF etc... ie some power oversteer for the RWD fans, or maybe.. a reverse doughnut in an FWD car? :lol: Get creative!
 
oh well, I had a hard time choosing this one, might change it later depending on you guys pics ;)

FINAL ENTRY



not quite sure it shows any kind of abilities though....:crazy:
go team RWD!!! :)

Don't forget the 500 pixel preview, el posto!

You don't have to show the abilities of RWD or FWD or whatever, it was just a suggestion if people were stuck on what to shoot. At the end of the week I'll be judging photos more on artistic merit than on interpretation of the theme, although truly unique interpretations will no doubt catch my eye as well.

Sorry. What I mean is a photo that showcases the car's capabilty as being 4WD or FWD or RWD. :D

FINAL ENTRY


I see I've got some direct competition ;)
 
I don't understand why after Slipz has repeatedly asked everyone to have there preview pictures as the thing you click to go to the full size, that people still post a link underneath instead... :dunce: (Not directly attacking you chris, btw)

(Remove asterisks.)

Here is what it should look like.

Asterisks removed.




The colours were just to make everything easier to see.

No problem man. :)
 
Thanks, I've worked it out now :D
Why is it that when I click on other peoples pics they open up to be a bigger size than what mine opens up to be?

On photobucket you can change the max size of the images, or at least used to be able to (have to pay now I believe). :indiff:
 
The image that opens up when I click my pic is the biggest it can go, maybe you do have to pay?
If Flickr can make my images bigger when opened up I might use that instead.
Edit: Yes, I do have to pay to be able to get bigger images
