2011 GTP Automotive Calendar - Discussion - Sending End Date: December 3rd

[LongbowX]

That's fine - and the impression I got - but, if you're running short of uptake you may choose to extend further invitations and the two of us have interest in that.

The line-up is not really complete yet. We will certainly let you know if we have space after we get responses from everyone.

I'd actually like to see a few others, besides the ones you posted like this, this and this especially. And one of the variants of this.

Also, I guess people have to look up the specific rules of the events if they want to post any photos of them? They probably wouldn't care, but since this is "official", we probably want to follow the rules.

Here are my contributions. Full size are 1024 as i hope thats big enough for judging purposes (Im too lazy to resize again and re-upload)

I just randomly picked 5 that I thought were ok. All post processing done on a calibrated monitor so they should be production/print ready.

Aww I really wanted October again (the pics I plan on submitting were taken that month and it's my B-day month) but I'll take September if no one else wants it.

Pics soon.

My nominations:



May go with the 1st or 3rd.

Aw, sorry. I wanted October this year as it's my birthday in October too. Also, my pictures will be on soon.

It's funny, because I like the 2nd and 4th the best. ^^;

Well, I wish I could add a second October and please everyone (actually, I think I needed three! Popular month!) but sadly I cannot. You've been added as September, though.

September is the most important month so you should feel honoured to be representing so many awesome people ...don't disappoint

 

[SPhilli911]

The pressure is on. Thanks Longbow.

Can I have August?
will post a selection soon

You're making it hard on me, now. I really think my Ferrari one is the one I'd like to throw in, though. I think I blitz'd nearly all my previous work with it, but that's me.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Can I just say I will be buying this again this year. Last years was great, keep up the good work guys 👍

I'm sorry to make it tough for you. ^^; I really do like the others though! I think the Lotus is #1, Pantera #2, but awfully close.

Thanks for the support! We really appreciate it.

OPINION ON PEOPLE'S PICTURES!!!

As follows:

TVR&Ferrari Fan: I think we all have seen much stronger images from you. Taking aside the Motorsports one because of the legal whiffs previously discussed, I'd think this is your stronger shot of the bunch you posted:



The hard contrast really makes it pop.

Floats: This one:



the other are fine but this is a really intresting angle given it's context. A tad more saturation and off you go.

Dougboy: In trying to have action shots in this, I'd absolutely go with the rigged blue S2k, which is also a bad ass car and an awesome picture. Then again I'm a sucker for you rig pics, but it's because they are sooo good. White Subaru would be second.

McLaren: The Pantera. No questions. Just a bit more saturation.

I'll post my entries later today.

 

[GPR]

McLaren: I actually agree with LB, I rekon the lotus shot is the best of that bunch. Each to their own though.

 

[Dougboy]

Cano, I didnt know we are trying to action shots? Should I just throw up rig shots then?

 

[Speedster502]

My image selection:

1-



2-



3-



4-



5-



Concerning the motorsport fact, I'm going to contact Cadwell Park when I find out which image has been selected/choosen and see what they say. If they won't let me then the likely-hood will be that I'm out. I don't tend to do anything other than motorsport and I'm more interested in action than the statics. I may have something, but I don't feel it'll be my best work.

 

[Cano]

Cano, I didnt know we are trying to action shots? Should I just throw up rig shots then?

hahaha no, But I think it would be nice to have action and stationary shots. And action shots like rig shots and car-to-car shots (like I'll be submitting) always compensate nicely with pan shots like those Speedster just posted.

BTW Speedster, If you participate, the orange Evo or the MGB. Those are awesome.

EDIT: Ok people, help me.

I've managed to run this down to about ten pictures, click on them for 1024s:









For the people that asked for this picture, notice that there is no more tree behind the car (:






these two are at Photobucket:





And finally, what I think are the two best shots of the bunch... but sadly, both may be a little off the spirit of GTPlanet... and one is vertical:



And what I think is my best picture ever and ever.



WHAT DO I DO???

 

[Pebb]

I have just updated my shortlist.

 

[stumpydino]

oo it is a pickle.
here is my selection. If anyone preferred any other ones of mine do tell.

 

[Syntax error]

Wow guys. The quality of this year’s calendar is going to surpass last year’s. I feel like I might be letting everyone down with submission that everyone probably has already seen in my gallery previously, and I’ve done little in the way of new photography work lately as I’ve been really busy with other projects. I’ll try and get a batch of photos in later tonight however.

Adam, you will be okay with the racing submissions, it’s only big national/international series that require prior approval from the organizers. I’ll be voting for that drift S15… great shot.

Cano, you’ve been holding out on us. Some real quality shots. Love them.

Stumpy, epic photos mate. Really nice. Although I wish the roof of the Citroen wasn’t cut off.

Dude, who cares if we've seen most of them if most of them are kick-ass? I sure as hell wouldn't mind having your night S2000 shot hangin' on my wall.

Cano, you’ve been holding out on us. Some real quality shots. Love them.

Thanks. And yes, I've been holding out a lot but it's mostly a matter of time. I have hundreds of pictures I want to show you all but I'm really lacking time. I barely put these together. But come january nothing's gonna stop me from putting my Flickr together. And a website, I hope.

Thanks for the comments man (:

 

[SPhilli911]

Here we go.

 

[Dougboy]

I know the sun was harsh but holy swirl marks on that 550

 

[SPhilli911]

Yah, now that I look at it I don't like it. We didn't have time to clean the cars very well. :/

I like the selection but...I'd really like to see this one, because it's just a gorgeous shot. I don't know if you didn't include it because of it's abstract-ness or because it can't be used because it was at an event, but...

---


Also - I'm going to make some effort to make some decisions this weekend about some things...I guess, I should ask those involved: do you want me to be included in the calendar? I don't want to invite myself for obvious reasons...

Yes. Be in. I've told you so many times.

 

[addictions]

I tried to rally up some pictures for you guys to laugh at but I'm having PC problems.

I have seen some great work since I joined GTP in the auto/model comps, And I must say that you guys have excelled yourselves with the pictures posted here.

I will definitely be ordering a 2011 wall art day tracker (calendar)

And Longbow If you don't enter then that would be so wrong, You post a lot of amazing shots along with the usual suspects.

*EDIT*
Giggle away(old pictures )spot the couple of shots on the brother-in-laws camera after my batterie died (the camera matters lol)
