If the network opens and anyone needs a car to borrow for Detroit Steel, let me know.

Good luck to everyone
 
Bridge???? jeeez, I have no idea where to go or what to do.....:boggled:

good luck tawn. ;)
 
D'oh! I got my weakest theme. I'm hopeless at multi car photos :( Good luck to everyone!
 
Close-Up theme would have been my theme :D Fyshokid and Benmastaw00t, I really looking forward to your battle :)

Somewhat disappointed with the PMC themes, nothing really exciting for me.

@bmxmitch I´m pretty sure you´ll find some great places for this one ;)
 
So I'm up against the most photogenetic cars in the game? Shoult I take the shot with my right hand tied behind my back too? :grumpy:

Ok rant over. Sorry. I just never have had any feelings for the lambos. Have to dig really deep for this one.
 
Woo, excited for Sibling Rivalry and Know Your Roots matchups - my theme suggestions, and really, two of my favourite themes over the years for interesting shots. Really though, looking forward to a bunch of the matchups - a good amount of interesting themes, and a huge amount of talent!

I've gotta decide on my subject car...
 
@bmxmitch I´m pretty sure you´ll find some great places for this one ;)

Already shot the perfect picture!:dopey::sly:

I could send it in, but I better take my time to see if I still like it the same tomorrow....


btw: close-ups would be a too big advantage for you, haha:D

Same for me, they're even worse now that they're glorified Audi's, out of the Lambo's in GT5 I think the SV is the only one I actually like the look of, good luck though, I'm sure you can pull of something special to end my lucky cup run :D

btw Ferrari's are the the most beautiful cars in the world.

I spent an hour or so for 4 days with round 1. Seemed to be easier.
 
Yay, I got the best/most challenging theme. Good luck chrishan, it's a tough one.

Oh, I have a question. Would Nissan/Infinity or Honda/Acura or Toyota/Lexus, etc count as the same manufacturer?

Uh oh. I've never been good with close-ups. This is gonna be interesting. Good luck, Benmastaw00t.
 
:lol: GT_johan had Landscape O. and now he has Portrait O. Can't wait to see the Black & White entries.

You will do well to take your time...

Maybe :P But why not having such a theme in one of the regular photo mode comps? I´m pretty sure that I´m not the only one who can do good close-ups ;)
 
I fear this is going to be the end of me :scared:
Such a great theme and such a great oponement!
I'll give it my best! Good luck to DiabolicalMask 👍
 
FF should be interesting, gotta come up with something creative, because I am sure c_f will. Good luck buddy. 👍

Thanks. And good luck to you too. 👍

I have to tell you though, that I have no clue of what/where to shoot. Nor do I have the "feeling" for muscle cars.
Also, there are less than a handful of them to shoot (Premium) and every model/angle has been done to death.

We'll see...



Ooh, I do like my theme! Looking forwards to a great match with Slip 👍

Looking forward to that match very much, sirs. :D

To tell the truth, in the minute I posted the themes, I thought it could be a little unfair, but having a Ferrari in the picture doesn't mean instant win. If that is what happens, something is seriously wrong with people vote. The Ferrari vs. Lambo is more of a Beauty vs. Brutality theme, than anything.
 
Submitted my entry yesterday. I've got the week free to update my gallery repeatedly now :P
 
This has been much harder. I've used Photo Travel maybe 3 times in my gallery. I must say I'm starting to like it but wish we had more locations.
 
Entry Sent. I love my shot but it's hard to know how the voting public will like it. I wish I could say I feel confident.

Good luck ThaSyn, hope your having as much fun as I am.
