CLOSED: POLL: CCCL Competition: Week 131 - WINNER: Giulietta73

[Nato_777]

Further explanation of the theme, as described by KING OF SKULLS:

"Most of you know Ikea and the home of this company which is successful in 40 countries with
ready-to-assemble furnitures is Sweden. But that is just the hook for this weeks theme because
it's about a car which is rarely seen in competions and shots, the Volvo C30 R-Design '09.
With over 400 HP and a weight of under 1200 kg (fully tuned) it is a fast car and such a joy to drive.
But you can also leave it complete stock, it's up to you. And as it is so well modelled, i'm sure you'll
make some pretty realistic shots of it.
As we don't have any swedish racetracks in the game, i thought Spa Francorchamps, with the
possibility to change the weather and its conifer forest, is the nearest to represent an scandinavian
environment. Also, to be true to the theme, the paint of the Volvo is restricted to yellow or blue
(no light blue or turquoise).

So have fun and push your skills to the limit to make this competition another epic one!

This weeks competion is inspired and dedicated to MoMo PeeZero. His kindly feedbacks are
always a great motivation and his skills in shooting and editing highly realistic pictures with lots of
atmosphere became extraordinary in the last months. Spa forever............Spa Baby!!!! 👍"

CAR: Volvo C30 R-Design '09.
LOCATION: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps / Weather Change.
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Tuned or stock. Only yellow or blue (colours of Sweden) paintchips.

Really like the sun, but the car is too dark. Composition is great.

Thanks everyone

Congratulations, Eric! I'm still curious on how you got that effect.

Ok, here's how it happend. I was driving the yellow C30 and my son was driving a blue C30. I was originally going to make something quirky - remember my Spoons 2 car shot for the aftermarket tuner comp?

Anyway, I end up at one end of the Kemmel straight & my son at the other. We drive towards each other at full speed. Then in the replay I pause it right at the point where the 2 cars are about to cross. And by sheer fluke, I found that if I focus on the yellow car and then obscure it behind the blue car I got these stripes. The black of the rear window became transparent. So then it was just a matter of getting the right position to frame the yellow car.

Its a great technique that Jeremy uses to great effect.
