Well, I hadn't planned on changing, but whilst doing a shoot for the 2.0, I managed to capture the following. I've wanted to achieve this effect with the tail lights for some time, but have failed, seems to have worked this time :)

Regardless of making the poll or not, I'm well pleased with this......

Final Entry
"The Devil Within"

Make the Demon bigger!


Also, random prize for anyone that can guess the car ;)

Interesting shot that is. Looks like an Enzo? Not right for a GT-R I think....

Damn, you have a good eye my friend :) send me a fr and I'll sort you out with a prize under the trade limit (let me know if you have a preference). Busy watching TT and Le Mans atm though :)
 
^^ That's brilliant Ziggedzag!

No time left to do another shoot am I'm busy this weekend so I'll throw in a stock shot I had floating around for my Final Entry

I'm glad to see the entries come in again, they look great, please make my job as hard as possible. My one worry with this theme was that people would give up and we wouldn't get many entries. Wednesday especially seemed very slow but things have picked up and it should be interesting to pick the poll. I hope that through the frustration of pausing at just the right moment you all are having as much fun with this theme as I did.

I haven't even tried it!:indiff:
And (as it looks) its not getting better at the weekend. Think I have to pass this one....or, I find some old shot on my HD.

But nice Entries so far guys:tup:
 
New Final Entry

I know I've used this technique of rotating the photo with a cool filter before, but it's the only way I can have any control over the angle through which it acts. So hope I'm not becoming a one trick pony :lol:

3 ideas tried.
not one of em worked. and it wasn't even my fault. every time I try something, the game flips me off.
having real difficulty with this one.
 
What are you having trouble with tapacrulez? is it pausing on the flame? or is it the flame changing when you take the picture?

I tried to pick one that I had already. But I couldnt decide. So I took some more. And still couldn't decide. Not sure if ive gone with the right one but for now anyway....

Final Entry

I was down to that or this.

And does anyone know how I can get photobucket to stop reducing the picture when I upload it?

I only just recently discovered how to get your full sized pictures into PhotoBucket.
Here's how - When on the upload screen with the big green 'Select photos and videos' button look down the page a little for the very small 'customize your upload options' link. Click on that and change the radio button from the default 1024x768 to a larger size or the 'Best possible quality' option - that's the one I use and it seems to always keep the original size.

Hope this helps. :cheers:

just can't get it.
first, I decided to take an idea I got from another photo in this comp, and do a dark shot with the flame illuminating the car. but it needed to be JUST the flame illuminating the image. no headlamps or taillamps.
so I grabbed a nascar and went to La Sarthe at night. the car will pop all sorts of blue and bright yellow/white when you rapid shift from 3-4 and back down, even on hard acceleration. got the flame easily.
then went to take the shot, and realized that the flame doesn't actually add any lighting to the game. it's just there. so that idea was out. I wanted to have the car menacingly illuminated by the detonation flame.
nope.

decided to take the tank car out for a rip on the Ring. Who doesn't want to see a nighttime shot of that thing blasting detonation flames everywhere?
they showed up great, but even when i timed it perfectly, the flame effect would disappear upon me pausing for photomode. i tried for 3 hours. nothing. blarg.

then tried for what I figured I could style as a full out engine explosion rather than backfire. but there doesn't seem to be a premium car with the exhaust exiting high enough and close enough to the engine to overexpose into a good solid fireball. was gonna get the tires ripping, and then line it up to look like the engine was smoking and essentially blown up.

nope.

so basically, I have all these great ideas, and the game won't let me do any of em! heh.
 
Final Entry
Thx to Polyphony increasing prize money:tup: for seasonal events and halving the online dealership prices:tup: I finally managed to buy a Formula GT and this beauty:D:

Since 24h du Mans is on right now I decided to use Circuit de la Sarthe:)
 
Competition Closed.


I've sent my top 25 to Slip. It was a tough decision, if you didn't make it take solace in the fact there were many on the cusp.
