Hello Everyone. At the moment I take all my own pics for my race and drift garages, but sometimes it takes a while to get cars to look good. Having to go to different courses, do a few laps, watch the replays, test out different style shots, filters, etc all over the track time really adds up. However there are so many great photographers here maybe some of you could let me use your photos!

If you like my tunes, or photos please like me Team Shmo on facebook!
How it will work
I will post a car name and you can take some photos and post them here. I will post the car before I start to make a tune for it to give some time to submit. I will than choose a few to use in my garage. I prefer if you submit at least two to give me some choice. You can also submit old photos of the car if you already have some. Must be exact model tho.
Sometimes mini competitions will be held where I will post a pic of a car that I like and you will have to try to recreate the photo. Trying to be as close to it as gt5 will allow. Paint, rims, spoiler etc.
Rules:
Very Important:
If you post any pics, they need to be large size or at least link to somewhere that has a bigger size for editing purposes. Sometimes I may like your shot, but I need to have the freedom to be able to zoom in without the quality looking awful.
Tips:
Finally, Thank you to anyone who participates in this as it really helps me out.

Rules:
- You can edit or leave it unedited. Doesn't matter to me since I have to edit them a little afterwards to make it all match my current picture style. Try not to take direct car only shots, I like to see good composition.
- 100% open as to what you want to do, doesn't have to be super fancy and edited like I said. Creativity is more important than how clear and fancy it looks. You can check my garages to see my style on pics if you need ideas. I will list you as the photographer and put a link to your gallery if you have one.
- Please leave a message in here if you are even remotely thinking about submitting one so I know if I'll have to take my own pics or not.
- First come first serve. If I make the tune faster before you submitted than there is a 99% chance I won't use your pics since obviously I am using someone else. Time limit is going to be 24-48hrs. Sometimes more time, but usually I'm fairly quick about making tunes once I have an idea. Only if the car is crossed off is it done, if not you can still submit no matter how many people already submitted that car.
- NO vertical shots. Although they can look awesome I just can't use them for my banner and they do not fit the rest of my garage photos

Tips:
- In GT5 shooting in mode 3 and 16:9 works best. The pictures will be larger than I need which works perfect for me. However do what you want as long as it's big.
- I am looking for pics that are interesting shots more than anything else
- I will be using one shot for the main picture and 9/10 times another shot for the banner. Sometimes it's better to be a little zoomed out than you need to be so I can than zoom in to make it fit in the skinny banner box.
- Truthfully all I do is drive the car around a track I think is good. Than I set it to mode 3 and 16:9. The camera settings I use are f/1.0 and shutter speed of 1/60. Guaranteed to look pretty good, but obviously it depends on how creative your shot was.
- Remember to press Square on the part of the car that is closest to you to make sure it is the most in focus
- If you want to learn how to take better pictures in GT5 here is a super excellent guide
