CLOSED: The Photomode Competition: Week 35

[SlipZtrEm]

Further explanation of the theme, provided by Klaus_PSU:

"I think I'll go for "Bokeh". So basically I want to see the f-number brought down
to the lowest setting for a shallow depth of field and some really interesting images.

I was inspired by this thread and there's some pretty good examples in there:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=199856"

CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See above.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

• It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
• Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
• Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
  it makes poll creation much easier!

• No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed.
  [*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  [*]Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
  either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  [*]Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 25. Every fourth
  week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 12-picture,
  4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  [*]The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
  It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
  

Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

I know exactly what I am doing for this. I have a feeling the my picture will be unique compared to the others. And I will enter today to avoid missing the deadline (just to be certain)

soo the center of the pic is focused and the rest is all blurry and stuff , right ?

 

[ZEROX]

Ohohoh. Already had a good shoots on this.
I think wait and see what the top notchs can give first.

 

[bmxmitch]

think this will take ages till I can decide what shot I will take.....

Pretty much, although it doesn't really have to be the "center of the pic". Generally there's a point of focus somewhere throughout the image and then the rest is blurred as you said. Now that I look at it, the winning pic to the last comp is quite "bokeh"

 

[nanabu]

something like that ??


i know my questions are silly but i need to know it otherwise i don´t know what to post


NOTE: this is not my final entry !! and it´s edited anyway

Yes exactly that. Here's a more technical definition of Bokeh if anyone needs it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh

cheers mate

Does the f-number has to be set to just 1? or can you maybe have it at 2... I mean you can get "bokeh" images without having it set to 1

[nizmo_bro]

Good entry krenkme, but you might wanna make a preview with the longest side 500pixels for it to be eligible.

Good entry krenkme, but you might wanna make a preview with the longest side 500pixels for it to be eligible.

can I edit that here or do i have to go back to GT5/"imageshack"? new to this sorry

 

[nizmo_bro]

You can upload to imageshack and have them resize it during the upload. But the closest they will resize it for this comp is 320pixels wide.

I usually use photoshop to resize my entry previews.

 

[krenkme]

Do I have to re-upload on imageshack or can I edit there?( it's fine if I need to re-upload might find some beter photos ) Not sure if I have photo shop

 

[nizmo_bro]

Yeah, you'll need to re-upload.

Hands down the best picture I've ever seen of that car.

Still great though.
