Nice sense of speed in that pic lthiele 👍
Great theme btw! Rally shot will probably be coming from me 👍

 

[Thiele]

Just a question, it has to be 2 cars, are the ones in the background interfering at all? Or is it still okay?

It says '2 or more' so anything over 2 should be allowed. 👍

Boy, Im so entering this one! 💡

But have a question for you Photoshop dudes:

How do you get the sky a beautiful blue and grass/whatever to retain their color, when adjusting brightness/contrast? Is it done using layers, and then 'fetching' the base one?

I'd REALLY appreciate some help on this, since all my pics tend to get the sky a very pale cyan, and grass/dirt usually end up looking more like beach sand under a Metallica concert spotlight...

Thanks.

 

[Tangled Web]

I just wanted to know if you think this could be entered?

Click for full size.​

It is two Street/Tuner cars, but it is on a World Circuit, Tsukuba. Is that alright?

If it is, then I will make this my entry.
If it isn't, then I'll have to come up with something else.

Just make the car a new layer, and make sure you cut everything that's not a part of your car, out.

I like that pic drift 👍, nice and simple yet captures the battle well.

Yeah it's a nice pic but sorry, let's just try to stick to the car/track combinations in the rules. My idea was just put the races to places where they sorta most naturally belong for each car.

 

[Tangled Web]

No problem atlop, was just making sure I understood.

I'll most likely use those cars, but on a street track like your rules state. 👍

Back when I started with comps, I always used to do multi-car pics. It's nice to have it as a requirement this week, you approach shooting completely differently!

[Speedster502]

I have a picture and I looked at garnettrules21 picture and though this one might be allright if it isnt just tell me and I will remove the pic from the comp but it is similar to garnetts.
Final Entry

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Speedster502, it's completely fine. There's bound to be some similarities every week

 

[Speedster502]

Thanks thats a relief as that is one of my favourite shots of rivals and my other shots wouldnt fit in with the streetcar/street track and racing car/ world track. So I am glad that fits in

 

[725]

Great I like racing shots!

 

[SS Racing]

​

I think these three cars ( "Group C" ) did in fact race at the same time.​

Man...that is a beauty empty space...awesome job!!!

 

[dylansan]

Where would I need to drive a concept? Are they allowed this week? Just curious, but that may not be what I enter

Street courses. Concepts are totally ok.

Great entry empty space 👍

 

[dylansan]

Another question: Would you consider Costa di Amlfi and Citta d' Aria to be street courses? While I think of them as rally they aren't dirt or snow and ace under the city course section. If I can use a normal car there, that's what my entry will be...

 

[dylansan]

FINAL ENTRY


My idea here was to be detailed and bright, as well as showing a lot of action. I'm thinking of even starting a series of "short reports" in the Race Reports section, and using this as my first one.

Edit: Whoops! Double post

 

[Thiele]

WOW! Nice one MINICOOPER
