CLOSED POLL: The Photomode Competition 087 (W: Safoo)

[SlipZtrEm]

This week's theme in detail, brought to you by last week's winner, Giulietta73:

"In the last CCCL unedited competition, a few of us were deploying the 'Hidden Filter' - taking a picture of your car through another oncoming car at high speed. Its a trick that I enjoy exploiting to either add a texture or colour hue to the shot. It catches the eye because it can make an image look 'edited'. have a look here at Jacob's, Paul's and my own entry:

​

The trick is really easy: take any really fast car to a race at any track with a really long straightaway. (I usually use SSRX or Spa, but Fuji, SSR7, Indy would be excellent too) Then at the start turn around and head the wrong way round the track. Than all you need to do is time it so that you meet the oncoming traffic at full speed along the straighaway. (but don't hit them, no matter how tempting that may be!!!)

Then start the replay and hit pause as you meet the cars head on. Then its just a case of photographing your car through the oncoming car. This bit is trial and error. I usually pause just before the car passes mine. Then I sit behind the other car with my car clearly in view, then I aim at my car (get all the focus and stuff done - shutter has to be at 60) Then I lower the camera so that the tail light is in the way - take a shot and see what happens. Then I adjust my position to suit my composition. The colour of the car and the cross processor filters will be important - here, here and here for example.

Have a go, see what you can do!!”
