Have Fun!!
If you have an questions just PM me.​
 
I am expecting some decent entries from such a good theme, perhaps we can get 10 entries for once as well.
 
Nice entry, mate.

Only the hood lost most of it's detail, it blotted out a bit.
 
Very nice, speeds!

I've already done 2 photoshoots and can't get a single shot that I'm happy with!!! :banghead:

Thanks, same here. It took me forever to get a shot I was happy with I tried loads of different things and ended up doing a photo session with the Lotus for about 3 hours. Which is way too long for my liking.
 
What really sucks is that what could be the best shots end up looking like crap. I mean the ones taken on the narrow streets, because the car is on the shade, and the tarmac texture sucks there, not to mention it makes all colors look weird and flat.

I'll try again tonight... :rolleyes:

I know it is difficult. I tried to get a shot smilar to the ones TW, Bram and Mog used in a tournament awhile back but I just couldn't. Good luck though Beerzy!
 
Here's a semi-2.0 effort, I've tried to clean up the nasty angles on this car. :crazy: I might try to add some nice filter effects I've if can find the time.

Final Entry



Lotus Esprit @ Citta di Aria
 
I already took a shot I like! Woohooo!

I'll work on it tonight.
 
Intresting colour combo NTX!

Now where is everyone else who usually enters!?
 
Well heres mine.... (but don't know if my clean up is good enough :D)

Final Entry
 
speeds, can you hold this up until tomorrow afternoon/night (GMT)?

I'm finishing the shot tonight, but will only be able to post it later tomorrow.

If you can't it's ok.
 
I certainly can as I have relatives which means I won't be able to access GTP all day so I am fine with that.
 
Awesome, didn't even need to wait until later to post this.

Thanks anyway, speeds. 👍

Step right up, tapetape!

speedster isn't closing this one until tomorrow, you should have time to finish your entry. 👍
 
That looks good tapetape.👍
Just some minor adjustments on the shot and it would look even better. Also...your sign is cool, but I would put it "outside" the shot...meaning...put it on a corner, not in the middle of the "action"...makes it look "less" real.
