Awesome entry Sweet. I love how everything is desaturated except the taillights, it really draws attention to them. Great DOF as well 👍

I have an idea in mind for the theme, I'm kinda busy with the GT4 tournament ATM, but I should be able to go outside and snap something.

My first entry for a very long time


I used my Canon EOS1000D with a Tamron 70-300mm lens (with macro function, which I used).
Settings:
1/125sec exposure
f/5.6 aperture
ISO 1600 (totally forgot to change it )
Built in flash

Models used: 1/18th 1970 Dodge Cornet R/T, 1/18th 2000 Honda S2000 (The Fast and the Furious), 1/18th 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift)

I used a shallow depth of feild to have only the headlights of the Dodge in focus, with the tail lights of both other cars totally cout of focus.

I shot this within like 1 minute, because I'm quite busy with college assignments etc... But I will, when time allows, enter more competitions with shots that I've spent more time on.

Adobe PhotoShop CS4 used to add a very slight touch of contrast.

I based it off the GT5P cover. I forgot about these competitions because I just started school again, so I didn't take any new ones.

Sorry for almost well...disappearing from around here, I've not left, I've just been ill for the past week. I've got a shot I can use for this, but seriously SweetShopUnion's is ace and is a much better shot than mine. Seriously great work. 👍

We're all busy now, it seems.

But, I'm glad to see you entering, and I look forward to seeing your future entries.

Aw - Get well soon, mate.

I like that shot very much - and I think it is a match for SweetShop's supreme entry.

Ehh. Went for a sort of "sketch" look.

[LongbowX]

Sorry for the DP, but when will the next week be up?

When...I decide I have waited long enough to close this one? I might just leave it until Wednesday and then post the new one next Friday, as usual.
